Bet you think covid was a government conspiracy huh ?

How is Nick polities wanting the bears to come in mean they lose their presence on the north shore ?

lol

your club has been kissed on the dck and you don’t even realise it

the Perth bears will sit on top of a north Sydney bears pyramid

and one that will be growing in size too

coupled with central coast juniors it’s a gold mine

Nick owned a ford dealership and then invested in property
go look at what happened with the swans in Melbourne, it'll answer your question. As a Swans fan Id have thought you'd know this?

as a fan of theres I thought you would.
The swans no longer have a footprint in South Melbourne nor do they have a sth melbourne team in VFL. Whose to say Bears wont end up the same?

Roosters to North shore is spitting distance, you think Nick hasnt got his eye on it? lol so naive

Why didn’t the roosters get that area whilst the bears have been in hibernation ?

uncle Nick wants to give back to the sport he loves. This is why he’s pushing expansion he knows it’s good for rugby league

because the bears arent in hibernation, they still are officially recognised as controlling that area by NSWRL. Its no stretch to think that Roosters would be very happy to see Bears based in Perth lock stock and barrel and that region be handed over to them. ala what happened in Sth Melbourne with the Swans relocation.

Uncle Nick wants to make the Roosters bigger, he's a businessmen, its what they do.

So when they return it will still be their area lol

I told you the roosters aren’t a development club

they have no interest in norths juniors or area

again, the nswrl/NRL have been quite happy/negligent to let the Bears maintain the status qou on the north shore, leaving it void of NRL direct presence/attachment outside of Manlys little enclave. Talk to the Bears fans about why their jnr teams are so sht.

Its not a stretch to see that the Roosters will hope that the Bears moving to Perth will eventually lead to a south melbourne situation where they no longer have NS as 'home' and therefore can move in and take the region over.

Roosters region stretching from Bondi to Gosford is a game changer for them in fan catchment and player development. Roosters have nothing to lose and lots to potentially gain advocating for NS to move to Perth.

lol so naive, uncle nick hasnt become a billionaire by playing nice.
The Roosters have had their claws on the Central Coast for over 10 years now and only produced Sandon Smith through their pathways, that is absolute rubbish.
Sandon Smiths Kincumber side a bad team, in the age group above them the Ourimbah Magpies won virtually every year from 10/1’s to 18/1’s (lost 12/1’s 6-4) yet haven’t developed one NRL player though they have one player with the Bears NSW Cup, another with QLD Cup side Burleigh Bears and another with QLD Cup side Wynnum-Manly, Bradman Best was in this age group playing for Woy Woy.
Canberra young gun Ethan Stranges Entrance Tigers team a few years younger had a similar record to Ourimbahs, they didn’t play as many GF’s due to structure changes.
As WB said development is not in the Roosters dna, they could adopt a junior nursery like Penriths and they will still purchase 98% of their players.
It’s just what the Roosters do.

@Perth Red as usual you are being a dope

Perth has a real chance by adopting a development club mentality like Penrith to surpass lazy clubs like the roosters

the north shore and Central coast are there for the plucking

The clubs still lose their players prior weekend …

Origin should be Stand Alone Sunday night game …play the Women's Origin on Friday night ( gets a bigger TV audience than a typical Friday game ) NZ v Tonga or Samoa on the Sat…

Its not perfect but neither is it currently…

23 games + 1 bye + 3 Orogin weeks - 27 weeks
Yep a Sunday or Monday night Origin game gets around that
