Simple fact is the North Sydney Bears are not relocating to Perth. They are staying in Sydney. They are being foisted on as partners of the NRL franchise in Perth by the NRL. Their club, their teams, their juniors, their leagues club all remain in Sydney. The Sydney Swans were a complete relocation. The comparison is BS and claptrap by the insecure Sydney centrists who cannot imagine a new team in Perth not carrying the carcass of a dead Sydney NRL entity. The reason the afl has murdered rugby league by expansion is they take it seriously. NRL Victoria has been underfunded for decades by the NRL and yet peanuts here then complain about their lack of juniors. That’s how the minds of these peanuts work and it’s why the game has not reached its potential. Vlandys has been better than previous administrations except for expansion in new markets where has been better but still too timid.
