Expansion only exists to increase revenue & juniors..

...that is all. I find it funny when fans say NRL needs Perth or Adelaide. Unless a city can tick the aforementioned boxes they are not needed & in fact should be avoided. Fans are too obsessed with game becoming "national" but that has nothing to do with the game getting stronger & richer. A non heartland team may require decades of funding & never generate a return or develop a junior.
So the Melbourne Storm should never have been admitted in the first place.

News Ltd like they did for the Storms first 13 years
He's trolling, most NRL clubs dont generate tens of millions a year. They spend $25-30mill of which $17mill comes from the NRL. Any new club will need to generate around $12-15mill a year in football club operations to stay viable.

20k members, 15k crowd avg, reasonable merch sales and a full sponsorship portfolio achieves that. A new club should not need extra funding if its run right.

I expect a well run Perth club will conservatively to be abale to generate:
$4mill gate and membership + $10mill sponsorship + $1.5mill merch = $15.5mill FC revenue. + $17mill NRL grant = $32.5mill operational budget.

WA Govt giving us a good rental rate on HBF park will also see the revenue go further.

Yes but rugby league has always been more established in WA than it is in VIC.
You mentioned lack of juniors and new teams running at a loss which sounds a lot like the Melbourne Storm especially during their formative years.

As a single State club Perth will have plenty of money and if the Bears are involved even more guaranteed backers
