Bit theres people in pubs wearing warriors jerseys.

Yes, thanks for agreeing with me. The base of the pyramids are not far off, the tops lacking, an nrl club in perth solves that
Ok so by your logic of 95-97 numbers half of the 45k who went to optus this year will become die hards? Great more than enough lolYou're clutching at straws and rewriting history.
NSWRL games at the WACA in 1989 and the early 1990s averaged more than 20k. It's why the Reds were taken seriously for expansion in 1995. When they finally got a team the interest level dropped substantially. It didn't help that they played at a cricket ground, but it's not the reason i terest dropped. The 20k grounds at the WACA for one-off games in 1989 and the early 1990s attracted bandwagon supporters who wanted to see something unique. Only half of them became active supporters of the Reds in 1995. Less than 9k of them stuck around for 96 and 97.
There's a cricket ground in Perth called Perth Stadium. It hosted a double header in front of 42k people.
Since 2005 we've had 13 games played at Perth Rectangular Stadium. The attendances for those games were not much bigger than what the Reds drew as smaller than the NSWRL games that were held at the WACA. Looks like interest in the game has dropped since the early 1990s.
You're obviously passionate about WARL. I can respect that. But let's not pretend the game is bigger in Perth than it actually is.
For every person in WA playing RL, 3 are playing RU. If RL was more popular than RU then that wouldn't be the case. Blaming it on there being no NRL club is a poor excuse.
The Melbourne Victory attracted an average of 17,366 in 2019-20. An average of 7,775 attended Melbourne City games. That's 25k active soccer fans in Melbourne for 2019-20.
Guess how many went to watch the Perth Glory?
7,716
Attendance Statistics :: Totals / Averages (Home Club) :: Ultimate A-League
From the Attendance Statistics section, you access crowd statistics for all A-League Men's competition seasons and matches.
The Storm have been averaging 16k to games at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
Perth Scorchers and Perth Wildcats have won more BBL and NBL Championships than any other team in their respect leagues. To argue that their crowds are not influenced by team form is bullshit.
keep digging i can see China
Pyramids are made of limestone snd granite, WA's pyramid is made of sand and delusion.
Redcliffe Dolphins produced the first Indigenous Australian to captain a national sporting team when pokies were illegal in Queensland. Plenty of other Origin and Test players plied their trade with the Redcliffe Dolphins over the last 70 years.
Eh? You’ve literally agreed with me. Nrl and nrlw is a pyramid, it starts at the bottom being as wide as possible, and as I’ve shown you wa and cronulla jnrs are not miles off, and gets narrower as you move into the elite systems.
They have, my point is they did that on just 800 or so juniors in their region. Imagine if WA had the same level of funding Redcliffe have drawn from pokies and qrl and their direct nrl pathways with 3500 jnrs!
Why the bears tho?
Gobsmacked explained it to you
This is top tier
