18th club, whose next?

[warriors 95]

NRL will run Perth with support from wa government & bears. Will attract investment from western Australia. Will be great success.

Hope so as the NRL really can’t back out now and leave Perth in the lurch.

 

[Bukowski]

Haven’t they done this already in some capacity with all of the bids?

Yes , but now that PVL has confirmed that the bears will be team 18 they should be talking to other bids. If there is a stronger bid than the Perth one they'd be silly not to have a chat.

It’ll be Perth/WA and Bears together mate. That’s it.

Perth bears are 100 percent

Just the ownership structure has changed

With some Sydney investors out and others in

Same with the wa investors

Most likely, but the bears should be looking at other options. Sitting in the corner waiting to be told what is going to happen could be risky.

And put at risk getting a licence back into the NRL?

No business IQ between your two ears.

No should, could, would etc. WA/Bears. That’s it.

The Bears have been publicly backed by the games most powerful leader to be the Perth team. It’s wild to suggest that should be put at risk by the Bears joining other bids at this stage.

Lot of people here live in the land of delusion where they ignore all the media articles and cling onto their own desires

16 days since Vlad announced to the press (before the bids!) they weren't happy with any of the bids other than PNG. tick tock.

Okay.

I would laugh so hard if it comes to light that all bids were contacted other than Cumins and his group.

 

[Canard]

IF there are other Perth bids, why would the League do publicly reject one of them?

If it was a multiple bid process, you would continue to negotiate with the preferred bidder and not let this play out in the press.

I also find it hard to believe that no information would have been leaked by other bids.

For mine, the NRL should run this team, for now, and get it established and then sell it to the highest bidder.
