18th club, whose next?

There once was an angry bear.
But no one really cared.
Manly killed it with a shot,
its body left to rot,
but it still thinks it should be heard.

Youve got me on a roll @Red&BlackBear lol

Oh oops. I made a mistake. Ai isn’t that bad

 

[Vlad59]

There once was a Bear long dead,
who had ambitions over their head,
it was really a shame,
they over rated their fame
and ended up with their fans misled.

There once was a turd called Perth Red
Who was a complete dickhead
Obsessed with spite
He wrote absolute shite
And ruined every league unlimited thread

It’s still a good contest in cup. It’ll be a good game in the future if it goes through. Rivalry bring ratings. Ratings bring dollars.

It was generally a good game for Manly. As a rivalry, it was historically somewhat one sided.

Historically one sided, yes Manly had more wins, during my time of watching in the 80’s and 90’s it was always fairly even between the two clubs, no matter where either of them were placed on the premiership ladder.

 

[Colk]

One sided ?, geez you watched different games to me.

Well, if not one sided, then very much in favour of Manly

Head to Head - Manly Warringah Sea Eagles vs. North Sydney Bears - RLP

Let’s not forget Manly were the silvertails $$$ of the 80’s

Some of the games, looked at individually, were close contests and great games in their own right, plus you had some good wins in the 90s, but overall historically results went in Manly’s favour.

If the WA govt is happy with either bid team

There is no way the standalone bid gets in when TV, ARLC and other stake holders are asked.

Given last 2 expansions we have had.

The new 'plastic' team on GC was a fail

As opposed to bringing an existing club to the top grade as we have seen with Dolphins

 

[T-Boon]

WA Bears would be a great addition. Let’s do it.

 

[MugaB]

PNG Mariners?

PNG Pirates, colors of black red and gold

The game at bear park will be a shut out with no manly fans in

Its the Perth bid they need to be convincing not Vlandys. theres no way he will parachute a Sydney club into Perth over a local perth option. It'd be one sure fire way of it being a disaster.
Hes appeasing sydney media. When push comes to shove if Cumins group tick the boxes and Bears dont offer them what they want to hear who do you think is getting in?

There's only 2 ways Bears are getting back in in Perth.
1. The Perth bid has no option but to partner due to NRL insistence or not being able to meet NRL's criteria
or 2. The Bears offer the Perth bid something so good that they are willing to change direction from a preferred 100% Perth club.
Cumins seems pretty confident he can achieve point 1.

Cumins hasn't spoken to anyone

 

[MugaB]

still cant spell his name lol

I think it's mean to be a joke, cum-mings

The ARLC via VLandys has already said that perth isn't dependent on the bears. Has the broadcasters said they want the bears? It was claimed here they wanted Brisbane . Who's the other stake holders?

If the Perth bid comes up with the money then that's it. Done deal.

It was in the news about a month or so ago that channel 9 and Foxtel both want the Bears,
I’m sure it would be on here a few pages back if you want to revive your memory.

Yeah and I've been told for months that Ch9 wanted B3. But believe whatever you want.

 

[Centy Coast]

Here is one Perth player I believe could handle it in the NRL, Joondalup Giants Prop forward Joell Irvine, big, strong, tough forward and with a surname like Irvine it’s a shame he would be to old when/if the Perth Bears get off the ground.

Omg it was in the press, look back through this thread, you are so frustrating to talk sense with.
