Hah dumbo Cronulla to wa is a direct comparison of rugby league development regions for the two cubs.

Think before you post.

My tongue in cheek comment about adding an NHL team in Australia was based on the ridiculous parameters you've created. An NHL team from Australia would draw players and support from the entire country. Just like a Perth-based NRL team would draw from WA. More accurately, an NHL team from Australia and an NRL club from Perth would have no choice but to look elsewhere for players because there's f**k all in their catchment.

Major double standard from Perth red

Against north Sydney bears or easts tigers ?

Yep, they’d just buy a team and go up like happens in most promotion sports. You don’t think wa govt hasn’t got deeper pockets than a pokie den? Lol

I doubt we could trust the govt.. yes deep pockets, but all talk... a bit like what happens when they walk away from the NRL side (as you guys love to point out regarding PNG), hell we got our NSW minister minns rooting for the bronchokes, and renigning on a Penrith stadium plans... hows WA gonna get a licence first

No

cause they won’t be providing a Perth nrl team one cent directly

the most will be lipstick on a pig of a stadium

if Perth had to compete with the bears or easts tigers you would never get promoted

WA Gov aren't funding a second tier team out of love for RL. They only want an NRL team because they think it will generate revenue from tourism.

Who cares what their motivation is, they could buy a promotion winning team and bingo perth in nrl. They’re probably offering to spend a sht more backing an nrl club in now.

Are you still waffling about signage for Cowboys?

How can you argue that a Perth-based NRL team will generate as much revenue from signage (in comparison with the Cowboys) when you don't even know how much the Cowboys generate?

And its not even about money its about investing in the pathways theyve set up, both those clubs have setup great pathways that they are regular feeder clubs for NRL sides, the WA comp isn't getting funded, as PR says its funded with an oily rag, well you can blame whoever you want but each WA club isn't investing in its own pathway, not to the scale that the east coast reserve grade clubs do, hence why they win games at that below level, and are even worthy enough to talk about for expansion

Are we seriously saying that after years of neglect, we can't expand anywhere that doesn't have 20,000+ juniors?
They’re cooked. WA is the countries third biggest rl state and the only new market place in reality that can be ready and got the backing to make a go of it. I mean when you are using signage revenue as a reason not to expand you know you’re well off the reservation lol

Its not about the amount, its about the actual cattle itself, if they aren't competing at a high level, then they are just park footy players who aren't going to advance or expand the player pool

Perth is going to transform the nrl from an east coast league to a truly truly National competition

they need to be prioritised and the arlc spending lots of money on juniors in wa

also Perth red

toulose and London are important cities but they must earn their spot on the field by beating established clubs like Featherstone.

if you are looking globally which is more important for the game

Perth London or toulose
