NRL on track to open Perth stadium as first sporting match

[carcharias]

There'd be no rl in Perth if it wasn't for the guy who owns the multi million $ cash convertor business. And yes the red, yellow and black is very png'ish. Nice colours though I'd prefer we eventually went with scarlet red and gold as the two primary colours

I know
Hock shops are classy establishments.
Good on him.

Does he sell cigarettes too?

Reading some of the Perth fumbler comments,they are getting their t*ts well and truly in a knot.
The entitlement code, runs this country we understand.

If Greenberg was responsible ,he needs a salary increase,if not whoever was deserves credit.We have been ridden roughshod at times by other codes via the media, this time karma makes an appearance.
Loving it.

Will be a interesting start to the League year with this double header in Perth plus Wigan and Hull FC in Wollongong and ANZ...

 

[DlEHARD]

I'm really considering flying over for this.

I hope the Warriors are one of the teams, to tap into all the Kiwis over there.

Fumblers promoting their sport in NSW & QLD... "It's all about giving the kids a choice..."

RL promoting in fumble country.., "how dare those thugby types do this.. We already have the most bestest game in the world and this is an insult..."

Could be worse, we could be reliant on sucking the money out of problem gamblers in pokie dens!

Not sure what that has to do with drug addicts selling their mums wedding rings.

Like I have said several times... The Perth media is the most rabid anti RL in the country...

Interested to see how this plays out over the next 6 months...

Maybe nrl do have some brains after all

Let's not jump to conclusions just yet

I don't know all the ins and outs, but from the little I've scanned over it seems the NRL didn't set this up, the construction delays lead to them falling arse-backwards into a better outcome.

Not to take away from them building up their stake in Perth and happy days that it turned out better than expected, but its not like they've pounced on an opportunity.

Classic case of good luck over good management. At best a bit of both.

No anti NRL sentiment in how the double header has been reported by local news.
One AFL guy in the media against it doesnt mean they all think the same.

Rams had a better turn out then reds back in 97 and no financial issues. Bring them back first i say

Funny as there was a 1/2page positive story on page 2 about it in the West Australia today.

Melbourne Storm and the NZ Warriors will be the opponents (but which one that plays Souths and which one that plays Canterbury are yet to be decided upon).

This is not yet official, but is effectively locked in already. I suppose it won't be announced until the 2018 fixtures are released in, I presume, October.

Correct,but the fumbler's best when when they brought GWS in according to Len Sh*tty" We are not aiming to take over and are not in competition wiht the other codes, but become another choice to the children".
Then they throw up goal posts around Sydney,take over grounds, spend millions trying to convert young rl/soccer/union kids.
Imagine the Storm doing that?
Yup ,living together in peace and harmony, just like the Rohingas are with the Burmese.
If bulls*t were battleships, they'd make the US 7th fleet look like a Lego set.

As Paul Kent stated this mob are not looking at the now, but want to take over the show in 20 years.

IMO this Perth stadium decision is fighting fire with fire.Just a small missile in the arsenal.
Put a NRL club in Perth ,and get the media on side.

The NRL rely on that scenario. It's saved them sooooo many times with origin deciders. The people who run our game are significantly inferior to other professional sporting administrations.

Having said that, this double header is a good thing, but ultimately completely pointless if it isn't followed up with an actual team there in the next couple of years.
