I was talking to Timbob, R&BB.
Still there is plenty of arrogance and petulance illuminating from your posts. Maybe you should detest yourself?
where? pointing out your arrogance is arrogant now?
So it's funny to assume that the Central Coast Bears cannot reach out to the 1.3million population within their catchment yet it's foreseeable that the Brisbane 2 and Perth bids will?
1.3 million now? on this trajectory, by the time you are admitted your catchment will be 50 billion.
Come on now, the CCBears have a better chance at signing up and bringing back many of these people then the other 2 bids. That is off the back of actually engaging the community.
are these people like Timmah who have said they won't support the Bears?
Unfortantely for you, the Central Coast Bears bid is very water tight.
Good for you. Unfortnately for you, the commission will likely judge bids on what they will add to the competition, and their impact on other clubs.
In my opinion you come in 3rd, maybe 4th if NZ2 can put together a sound business model. Note - my opinion only. I don't assert opinion as fact like some bulldog supporting coasties do.
Do you? Because last time I checked there was no Newcastle reserves team and the CRL asked you too? No, more like the Knights at the time didn't have the funds not to do so.
huh?
The CRL asked us to field a CC NSW cup side. I don't know what the hell you are actually trying to say here.
Manly & Newcastle do have NRL teams with regions of their own junior pools. Yet are more settled in pinching the resources from the Central Coast without giving back?
huh?
We want to give opportunities to kids from our entire catchment, which stretches from Woy Woy to Coffs.
We are the only NRL team in this area, and we want to give kids a pathway to the NRL.
You act like that is some sort of horrible thing to do. That is exactly the arrogance and petulance I am talking about - the notion that if kids from the CC can't play NRL for the Bears, they shouldn't be offered an NRL pathway at all. Punish everyone because you want to chuck a tantrum.
Last time I checked the people of Woy Woy considered themselves to be part of the Central Coast. That's before we get into football.
Last time I checked, the Central Coast didn't have an NRL club. Again, we want to give opportunities to kids from our entire catchment. We look after a very large geographical area.
So sponsors who spent a mint in trying to get a team to get up, representing a community they want to invest in.. if the CCBEARS don't get in they'll just say "oh well let's go to Newcastle?"..
True league fans would hope that sponsors are never lost to the game.
No, I'll tell you from a business point of view what they'll say "The NRL don't want us even after we spent this amount of $$.. then we'll go support a team in another code which actually wants us".
More petulance. If I hear one more time that "if the Bears don't get in the Central Coast will be lost to AFL/Soccer/Union/Tiddlywinks" I will scream.
So the Knights have done more on the CC now then the Bears because of the centurions which by your own admission was CRL's idea not Newcastles?
The Knights offer more of an NRL pathway than the Bears do. That is my only claim.
The Bears have by all accounts done a heap of community work on the CC. It is easy to focus on community work when that is pretty much your entire focus because you don't have an NRL team to run.
Newcastle who have their merchandise sold through out the CC.
It is, believe it or not!
Newcastle who are building the CC Sports of Excellence Center.
I am sure if we could convince the govt to throw slush money at us we would happuly do that.
Like I said you may not be a supporter but from a hating point of view you have just as much arrogance and petulance as anyone else in here. Unfortunately your so caught up in telling yourself you're correct that you fail to see it. It's quite hilarious.
I give you facts and opinions. I play I straight. Your mob are the ones carrying on like idiots.
