do you have any proof of this, or just taking a wild guess like the other 95% of posts on this forum lol

What he wrote didn’t sound like a guess to me and the idea makes sense.

He's just making shit up like everyone else.

Makes sense considering NRL hasn't spoken to Cummins. Bears will run & operate Perth team.

Interesting considering the recently announced relationship between the Boston Bears and North Sydney. The new franchise could have a pathway system from the USA right through to Perth

 

[final say]

Anyone suggesting Perth Bears can't work...cough cough Brisbane Lions cough cough

You can see the survey topic if you have an account with the pollster.

Maximus said it doesn’t exist so that’s it really.

How was it worded mate?

It was months ago but every poll has a unique reference code and their survey area codes. It literally just said rugby league support with no summary and the Perth survey area codes.

There's really not a long list of organisation with a vested interest in paying for a private survey about rugby league in Perth. It was either NRL WA (which I doubt because of the cost), an expansion club or the NRL (most likely).

Cheers. I think if they surveyed Perth league fans that western reds would be more popular than Perth bears.

PNG Shit Bears?

If a bear shits in the woods.....

No one wants the bears except a few old coots living in the past.

Perth Bears- Actually Perth locals wouldn’t know who the Bears are, other than they now have a team and they're called the Bears.. being an AFL state will be understanding of relocations and how they work... so the Bears brand would be very marginal at best as negative.
The positives:
Instant direct feeder club and all associated coaches trainers ect.
All infrastructure in directors, accounting and administration are already in place.
TV ratings, as Perth ratings will be negligible..it will be a massive advantage to have interested Sydney locals keen to tune in. Outside of a Bears franchise a WA team would be a ratings disaster for decades.

It works and if PR doesn't support them, it shows he's not an actual fan of the game.

If no one in Perth knows who the bears are then is not real a strong brand is it.

Swans and lions were non existent brands in Sydney and Brisbane but they brought a legacy and a fan base for games back in Melbourne. It would be a stretch to suggest the Bears will have a similar impact as they’ve been out of the top flight for too long.

I have a horrible feeling that this June d-day won’t be as successful as the last one and that the Germans will be ready and waiting.

Sydney fans in general won't cross town for a non home game semi. But apparently Bears fans (men over the age of 50) are going to travel to Penrith, Cronulla, Campbelltown, boosting crowds in syndey.
People dont actually believe this shit do they?

 

[Foreign Legion]

Bring back Perth Reds, send the Bears to PNG

People from Mosman, Cremorne, Cammeray and the like are renowned for their love of travelling to places like Penrith and Campbelltown.
