“We want to see exactly who we are dealing with over there and don't want to give up the Newtown brand which is so iconic.

"A return via Perth - with a few games back at Henson - would be a great result for our many fans."

who were the experts on here who said the jets didn’t want their colours and logo and two games at Henson park @Perth Red ?

any ideas @Pippen94

They arent demanding they own the license, thats the biggie.
Games at Henson, no way.
Perth Jets maybe, but the colours are crap and def not needed in the NRL.

I'll be surprised if this one goes anywhere given they actually have nothing to offer.

Disagree, we get a team here we wipe the floor with Rugby Union, our juniors double and with the right pathway program we'll produce talent.

Our open mens, 12 & 15s all out perform Victoria already without a team. We lose 18s due the Storm pathway investment and WA losing kids to the east coast/rugby.
Not sure that’s the case anymore. Nrl vic squads are much stronger ovet last two years than previously

Storm finally working closer with NRLVic to promote the game is paying off in uptake in participation.

I hope we do and they do.but what if we don’t get a club? Should we just right off any chance of rugby league growing in WA Because we don’t have an nrl club to lead it? What about the other areas around australia that will never have an nrl club? Should we not worry about kids playing rugby league in those areas? That’s why jnr participation should not be the remit of nrl clubs.
If the NRL venture into a renowned AFL state like WA they should help them out as much as possible until they can get themselves stabilised.
Seriously how many hand outs have established NRL clubs been given over the years, Melbourne were given a massive leg up in their first season when acquiring the best players from two sides the Perth Reds and Hunter Mariners who were closed down, News Ltd also financially propped up the Storm for their first 13 years in which they ran at a loss each season.

Because of the blowouts
Dolphins show there are enough players around

nrl is an international competition needs to focus on the areas where league is strong.

png and nz2 will add more to the nrl than Perth
Nope, forget developing other nations, let them look after their own backyards it’s not the NRL’s responsibility.
Focus on Australia, Warriors have had a whole nation behind them and have under achieved since their inception.
PNG is a pipe dream.

Agreed, useless to suggest anything they offer will be useful, the bears on the other hand, atleast share the same colors or similar to WA and useful in the junior pathways

This is the thread I and others post all the vic news on. Dumb and dumber might want to have a look.
