Its not the return of NS based in Perth at all. It's a new Perth club using the Bears brand.
Vlad also said bears have 200k members lol

I didn’t say north Sydney you just dreamt it up

Good to see a Perth team deciding to play one home game at north Sydney oval by coincidence

lol

return of a brand, being used by a brand new club.
Its not a relocation, its not NS's return, its not NS Bears moving to play some games in another city.
NSO was by insistence, not choice lol

If Balmain had gone with trigaboff they could’ve gone alone too. Harry was ticked off they didn’t go to him to jv the league club development rather than some random developer Benny Elias found.
Garbage
Balmain chose to go with Elias' developers in 2009, 10 years after they merged with wests.

10k? If the Vlandys 200k dont sign up then we want our money back!
what if the perth tv crowd doesn’t significantly rise above 8k like it currently is? Does that mean we ship bears back to another town and say see ya later we see aussies? works both ways except if ya a blind englishmen from hull with strong opinions on subjects he knows little about. you wax lyrical a lot but you fail to see your own numbers are rubbish at the current, all west aussies are is based on future possibilities and not because they’re banging the door down. I’m for west Aussie bears 100% but let’s not pretend that their case is 100a% undeniable. it isn’t, it’s all based on predictions and those predictions could easily fall flat faced and be incorrect.

it’s no wonder nrl want west Aussie gov to invest in pathways and infrastructure because imagine nrl invest on everything and the local public don’t turn out or bother watching after a couple lean seasons.

does anyone know for sure if the bears will one day fully commit to west aussies as in move all their operations and lower grades over and north sydney revert to more a third grade club and historical area? we are just in the assumption that only nrl club will be based there and fact is at the start it will no doubt but everyone is just guessing on what will happen 10-20 years down the line once west Aussie league infrastructure is actually good and sustainable. it would make sense if there’s a target date of say 2040 to have everything bears based in Perth tbh. maybe ask one of the bears people here that know what’s going on with the north’s clubs

anyways off topic this is for expansion threads my bad

For ALL Wests Tigers Fans
Press Release
7th January 2025
Wests Tigers Unite Welcomes the announcement that Independent Directors will be appointed this month.
Wests Tigers Unite would like to officially recognise and thank Shane Richardson, Barry O’Farrell, Julie Romero and Simon Cook for their open and clarifying statements via the Behind The Roar podcast. It is both gratifying and refreshing to openly see Wests Tigers and HBG representatives working together for the betterment of Wests Tigers.
We look forward with anticipation and hope, to the independent directors being appointed at the end of the month and the constitutional change that will go along with that as recommended by the Crawford-Barnier report. We also anticipate and look forward to the constitutional change necessary that will support independent directorship at Wests Tigers.
We, at Wests Tigers Unite are committed to ensuring the long-term success of Wests Tigers in its current entity. We acknowledge that our campaign will reach its conclusion when an independent audit is completed, finding that the recommendations have from the Crawford-Barnier report have been implemented in full and that assurances have been given in writing that there will never be attempts to reinstate Western Suburbs Magpies or Balmain Tigers to the NRL again.

They had Marina go as an Independent chair she was useless

The issues stem from how wests leagues deal with internal bickering

how good is luai's positive energy that he has brought to the tigs. you can already see it via the body language and even players who seemed over it and had drastic drops in form (ie naden) have apparently come back better and more enthused about 2025 at the tigers.

hopefully things are on the up.

The glimmer of hope appeared last year when they got rid of Pascoe and Hagipentalis. Richardson has us in the right direction.
