1. Arlc won’t allow it
2. Other Sydney clubs won’t allow it
3. Wa govt funding to be provided under conditions like team can’t be moved
4. Perth control a majority or all of the shares
They wont own the licence tho, the bears will

They couldn't even hold onto their half share of their last NRL club but they want to head up an expansion team? Theres gotta be better people to trust.

Semantics

png has a bid
Wa govt is putting its bid together now

bears could still link with Perth but unlikely

nope

ownership is for discussion

bears own the name and the colours

ownership of a new nrl team is different

the new nrl club will get a license from the beers to use their ip

bears could get 25 percent ownership and it would be fine

There is no perth bid, there is only the bears bid, stick to the facts, obviously the WA govt weren't interested in the bears proposal

So the bears board members said it... and you believe that, but the papers confirm 60 million per year for Png and you don't believe it.... cherry pick much?
THE BEARS BOARD MEMBER SAID IT. You could have stopped there!
The $60mill is media speculation, when someone snr in the Govt is quoted in the media saying it I'll believe that as well!

yep their insistence on holding the license has turned perth and PNG away from them, good luck with a sydney team representing pacifica North Sydney Bears fans lol.

“We bring to the NRL a very pragmatic model where we’re saying ‘you’ve got 17 (teams), we know you need 18, simple as that, and you need it inside the next three to four years for the next TV rights deal comes into play. We’ve said ‘we want to provide you with a solution.’

“We are pragmatic and we understand our place in the game. We want to be re-admitted and we’ve got these very, very small number of non-negotiables: our colours; our badge; we want somewhere between two to four games at North Sydney Oval — one of those must be against Manly — and we want that the rights of the 18th licence will always sit with the North Sydney Rugby League Football Club.

“But other than that point us in the direction and we will move.

Its really clear to everyone except the very naive the Bears want to own the club, run the club and hold the license. The pacifica model they are pitching just doubles down on that. This isnt a Lions or swans where the clubs ownership, management and infrastructure moved to another city. Its clearly NS wanting to get a license anywhere and be tokenistic in being based in that city. I dont blame for that, but lets not pretend its anything else.

Shame because a different attitude from them could have seen it work.

And when someone from the club comes out and says that is no longer a non negotiable then I'll believe they've changed their position on arguably the most important thing to them. Until then I'll stick to what they HAVE actually said.

It was a radio interview where he mentioned 3 of them, name, colours and games at NSO. There was nothing to suggest that was it, they have normally said those three things every time. It was only Moore who let slip the license ownership one in that article! He also let slip in another one about moving more games to NSO if it was financially more valuable. He isnt the brightest tool in the shed and they seem to have stopped him doing interviews lol
Why do you think PNG and Perth were so quick to walk away?
