He’s a miserable twerp from Pommy land. Best ignored.

Just get used to the next few months from perf fans talking about how bad the bears are

The Bears were pretty good at doing that themselves when they were in the NSWRL/ARL/NRL. Hopefully any reincarnation of them don’t continue their history of continually finding ways to lose.

Look at their current situation regarding home grounds.

 

[Brian potter]

You really are an ignoramus. You have no idea what you are talking about.

You only support joint ventures because leichhardt and kogarah are even bigger dumps than shark park.

More information coming out regards Perth NRL bid;

MSN

Cumins is aware of the move, supported by V'landys, to bring back the Bears in the NRL in a liaison with Perth.

"It is not our first preference," Cumins told AAP.

"The people involved in the consortium are West Australians who love rugby league and would love to see a stand-alone team in Perth.

"If we had to make a concession, and a partnership was the only way we could do it, then we would look at that, but there are lots of downsides to those arrangements and the integration with people on the other side of the country."

Cumins said: "West Australians are very parochial".

"The history and traditions of the North Sydney Bears and Newtown Jets have no relevance to anyone in Perth," he said.

"People in Perth would be going, 'why are we playing games at North Sydney Oval?'"

Cumins said the reason he had not reached out to the Bears or Jets was because he agreed with Tinley that Tinley would hold those discussions.

"When, and if, it is appropriate we will do that,:" he said.

The bid headed by Cumins has five high-powered individuals as part of the consortium.

"We have met with Peter Tinley and the government on more than a dozen occasions over the last two years and they know our group well and what capacity we have," Cumins said.

"The government doesn't decide who the bid vehicle will be, but will work closely with whoever wins the bid.

"The last thing you want is several Perth consortiums trying to get the license. You want one co-ordinated group."

Cumins has other potential movers and shakers with significant wealth and acumen around rugby league keen to join the bid, which he has said "ticked all the boxes".

"We have been told unofficially we will need to raise $30 million and we are confident we can raise that money," he said.

The government working group in Perth on the other hand are convinced they are "NRL ready" now.

Forget the Bears, give them Adelaide whenever it comes up. I want a W.A. franchise with a W.A. logo.

The examples I’ve seen of clubs being transported to new markets have been pretty successful. Swans and Lions. Can’t see why migrating the bears to Perth won’t work if done properly. I’d rather Perth were stand alone but it can work.

This isn’t even a joint venture in the usual sense. It’s not two existing clubs. The Pommy Commy wouldn’t know the difference though.

I'm not all that familiar how the swans came about but i think the brisbane bears went broke and they and needed a vfl team to bail them out. It was through necessity for their survival.
Anyway, it's great to see they can finally see the worth of Perth to the NRL.

This Peter Bagel character has certainly excited everyone with his conjecture mumbo jumbo.

What would a West Australian know about Perth. I wanna hear from Billy Moore and Greg Florimo.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Brian Potplant is the expert on all things Australia. I want to hear more from him, especially as his pommy mate is watching pie games.

Billy Moore. Who was born in NSW. Went to school in NSW. Lived in NSW. But some how became a Queenslander

AFL South Melbourne bloods team. Relocated to Sydney. Became the Sydney Swans
Same as Melbourne AFL team Fitzroy lions.
Relocated to Brisbane. Merging with Brisbane Bear's. Brisbane lions

The Pommy commie? He’s a walking encyclopaedia of ignorance when it comes to Aussie rugby league

Relocated team's. And merging teams
Do work out

 

[Bukowski]

Relocated team's. And merging teams
Do work out

Like the Northern Eagles?

Relocated team's. And merging teams

I’m normally against both but I think there’s a strong case to be made for either the perth sharks or Adelaide sharks.

Nothing screams more of harmony, cohesion and stability than 50/50 joint ventures.
