Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

[Iamback]

I like how the Bears are building. Wishart, Meaney, Curran, Sexton and Henry are proper first graders. The two poms are question marks but they did their research - Dom young, KPP and all the raiders fellas have done well in the NRL recently. Vea’ila is a good upside player who is stuck behind a number of good players. He would be a first grader at a number of clubs. You still haven't signed any older players who can be landed - guys like Cam McInnes, Talakai, Billy Burns, Toby Rudolph and BHU are just guys at the sharks who you could add in for good value. Some "star" will end up being squeezed out like a Matt Burton that you can try and get. Young talent is still on the market and you can always land some journey men like the Dolphins did. Gamble on some upside players who have struggled with injuries like Kade Dykes, Tom Chester.

Wishart on 900k (was mentioned by Paul Kent) seems mental but he gives 100% and deserves a starting spot. The cap will keep rising and you have a spine player for 5 years. They need to go and find their version of Isaiya Katoa though.

Perth should have a higher cap to get started but given they don't I like the moves they are making. They are buying 7/10 players from good systems to build a base for the future. It will be interesting to see how PNG builds a roster given the tax stuff.

Exciting times to be an NRL fan. The Bears logo today was a good buzz for mid Jan! Now release a jersey in Vegas.

Cap certainly should be 20% higher for them and cover relocation costs for players.

NRL owning them has probably forced their hand in trying not to give them unfair advantage

I’d png are being allowed to offer players accomodation free I don’t see why Perth shouldnt be the same. Ok Perth isnt an shthole like PNG but still. Are the nrl changing salary cap rules for png to be able to offer free bed and board?

The loop hole would be that and Tax Free is from the PNG government and not the club

The nrl salary cap does not allow clubs to pay for accomodation Outside the cap.

And the club isn't here, PNG government wants a side and to improve that side. They offered the tax breaks and the compound.

Is it any different than a TPA? Easy enough to put a $ figure on it and get it approved.

I am sure it works out less than a car would be

Constructive as ever pissandtears, what did Perth do to deserve your attention? No club of your own?

Honolulu weather is much nicer than most of the US, people don't move there because it is in the middle of no where.
