Ohh ffs, we have been operating without a Leagues Club for what 3 or 4 years now.
That is a fact, and a fact you've ignored in your post compared to other teams.
DO NOT SKEW THIS INTO A POKIE DEN FIASCO.
The fact Cronulla has recorded a profit without their main source of income should be congratulated.
Really mate, these are your posts that make everyone see you in that negative light.
Its not just Cronulla. Tigers and Bulldogs are not much better.

f**k. 7000 participants in the Shire compared to 4000 in a whole State.
Get a grip.
eh? were talking about the reach and influence of an NRL club. A perth club will be drawing from the whole state.

Sorry, participation numbers are great but if you're not producing first graders than you're really just dicking around.

And before you start, take youre own logic: stop living in the 70s blah blah blah.
Thats the whole point! You need an NRl club to turn those kids into NRL players! You cant say Perth doesnt currently produce many NRl players so shouldnt have an NRL club. Its a dumb argument. We have the numbers, we don't have the systems.

Whole state that is about 95% desert and uninhabited

Pelican puts the boot into Sydney clubs whose long time success and popularity is the only reason Perth are a chance for a team.

And if Perth do get in and pilfer the players they produce he won't bat an eyelid.
And relies upon viewers in established markets to watch their team

Foxtel aren’t keen on Perth
Of course they aren't. There's no money in it for them.
All rugby league supporters in WA would already be subscribed. And any other 'pick up' fans, say from that other game, would already be subscribed as well.
If anyone can't see that's why the media push for 'Pasifka' is on, well lawd help them.
New subscriptions.

Fair points but isn't this true for almost anywhere? Or do we actually believe all of Redcliffes new fans are brand new to rugby league
