Brisbane3 - What is needed to make it a successful bid?

Newscorp outlets have been gushing over the prospect of the "Western Bears" coming into the NRL - ironically, given the Newscorp-pushed drive to reduce the competition to 14 teams was a big factor in losing the Bears & Reds after the war - pretty much billing it as a dead cert to be part of the next expansion phase.

Meanwhile the same outlets have been pretty muted about another Brisbane expansion team, reporting about Newtown & Ipswich getting together but none of the hype that the return of the Bears in a new frontier has been getting.

Funny, huh?
Not much to be excited about though, it's like they are waiting for a rival suitor, maybe easts to kick up a stink... Bears was always newsworthy, even if they seemed hopeless about how they went about trying to return... now they are, Jets not so much, they left the comp in 1983, they weren't forced out like most of the other clubs were by the 2000s with the mergers/cullings.. there has never been an appetite to see them return to top flight, not like the bears, rams or reds
