Govt staffers could've asked media to ask about it as minister clearly had a lot to say about it quite urgently. Never known a west Aussie to be that up to speed on NRL expansion & that includes present company..
Could of, and great if they did and WA Govt wanted to once again show its support. He was singing from this hymn sheet written in october. word for word nearly with the addition of 'in discussions with NRLWA backed Pirates'.

You think Channel 7 wouldn't be worried about it, but looking at the long game maybe it's worthwhile for them to chuck stuff into the mix as a prelude to the next TV rights negotiations?

Now that Ch9 has Stan, we might see Ch7 and Foxtel team up for the NRL rights in 2027. Ch9 has never done any favours for Foxtel.

lol, he basically said exactly the same thing they said in October, word for word!
Its called making a case, but hey if you want to see it as begging so be it. No one cares, its just awesome that we have a coined up Govt in an AFL state who are so keen to support NRL! If the NRl will grasp this opportunity that's been presented to them we now wait with baited breath to see.

So which bid did redcliffe merge with?!
Was it bombers?! No that ones jets.
Was it jets?! No that was firehawks before it fell through.

Good bids don't need to merge

I have no idea what point you are making. What bid has merged with who? Are you talking about the Cairns Pacifika PNG Bears?

Who cares?! Wa govt minister (or whatever he was because you'll pull that up too) was pretty much begging NRL to put team Perth. Confident bids don't link up with bears or beg like that.
Regardless isnt it a good thing the WA gov wants a team? Why would you shoot down new areas wanting to embrace and support our game?
Almost as if you don't want the game to grow


Just another contradiction from the anti expansion squad..
"Noone in Perth wants a team it won't have fans"
WA gov publically lobbies for a team
"They're just desperate blah blah blah"

Perth Red seems very confused at the moment.
I'm not sure if he's been on the grog, or the Dolphin's becoming a NRL club has confused him

It’s all fun here mate. There are about 200 strains of thought between about 12 posters.

..because it tells me they were blindsided by pasifika revelation & are playing catch up. They won't get team
