New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

Haha that’s a massive brand adjustment to reflect their new home, logo and kit changed. Look at how many ns fans are whinging about a dash of yellow or the logo being modernised to incorporate something WA. under a wa ownership I’m sure it would have, under vlandys ownership I’m less sure.
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.

Has the ownership structure been announced?!

Let's wait till expansion details are revealed before doomsaying.
Find me one source or even a rumour they are relocating. They aren’t. You know it. They are staying in Sydney. They will remain a second division Sydney Club. The comparison with the swans is rubbish and you know it.

Who cares about wa ownership? News ltd own majority of broncos and they aren’t brisbane based. your obsession with wa must own something actually blinds you from the fact that the best owners should be the owners, no matter where they’re from.

the nrl side would be operating out of west Australia. who cares what the reserves and junior sides do. it’s the most cost effective way by keeping them in nsw where they’ll play in those comps, which they would be playing in those comps regardless anyways if they were all based in wa but would mean they wouldn’t need to fly out 3/4 grades worth of teams most weeks as opposed to just 1 (nrl side). its a mute point

once warl has its resources to be able to actually be a half decent comp then maybe push for a full relocation. until then it’s a worthless business exercise and a colossal waste of money

any ways there’s a west Aussie bears thread why don’t people ask one of the bears people

It's a moot point. Nobody cares about feeder team. Storm use sunshine coast & the Rabbitohs use Townsville Blackhawks in Qld cup.
North Sydney are only part of WA expansion team & we don't know makeup of ownership.

Nice deflection. But at least you are admitting they are not relocating. And we know that because they aren’t. Pretty simple really.

Prior to the WA consortium imploding Perth red presented North Sydney as a very minor stakeholder. Now Vlandys & NRL have assumed the role previously held by the consortium, Perth red is saying something different.

that’s because Perth reds is a liar it’s been proven time and time again in my short time on here so I can only imagine how long it’s been happening prior

Perth Red's original argument was that the Swans moved their reserve team. Clearly, that's not example teams follow in today's world.

I couldn’t care less. They moved their first division vfl team, and the club no longer exists as an entity in Melbourne. There is a team playing in the amateurs called the Bloods. That’s it. Sydney swans is a true 100% Sydney team. The comparison is nonsense.

Perth red stop being a baby

You know your going to be a fan of this club and will have season tickets

You didn’t mind nrl ownership of the club

Your mate got rejected bc he’s a dope and tried to white ant the bears

You can just buy tickets like anyone else rather than relying on freebies lol

Remember when the so called experts didn’t like David Moffatt because they blamed him for the death of Balmain

Oh the irony

The nrl would never allow this

But a demerger would be a good thing for Balmain and wests tigers

The easiest solution is merging with easts tigers

Moffatt knows his is a losing bid now and needs something like this to overtake the orcas
