Perth Bears or bust?!

@Pippen94 was right.

PNG relies on fed money. Nz2 has a small population base (although larger than titans, Canberra, newcastle or cowboys). Brisbane South is hindered by easts & jets not coming together.
Of course, Perth has the biggest knock against it with the great cost of being a club on the other side of the continent. Norths gives team some financial security but I'd be calling twiggy.

If you're a Western Australian, do you get behind a Sydney club playing 10 games in Perth, or do you support the truly local Western Force?

Trick question. Western Force won't exist in 10 years.

If I was Twiggy I would use this snub from V'landys to rally parochial Western Australians behind the Force.

Gee. Their crowds might double to 5000.

The news today was great.

I logged on just now to read the tears.

The only thing about the Perth Bears option I don’t like at the moment is the two games at North Sydney Oval. Make it one game, and make it at Central Coast Stadium as part of the footy country tour.

On another note, Central Coast Stadium could host up to four games a year during the NRL season.

1. Perth Bears v Manly
2. Manly home game
3. Roosters home game
4. Souths home game

If I was Manly I’d do a deal to be the away team against Souths and Roosters and take the mentality of turning it another ‘home ground’

I'd rather dig my eyes out than sit down and watch another game of Rugby Union.

If the Bears do end up in Perth then all 12 home games must be played at PRS. It's outrageous that there's talk of taking two games to a shithole like North Sydney Oval.

V'landys is a dickhead.

Agreed. Have your annual preseason match with Manly at NSO only.

Potential for a Derby at the SFS if the economics stack up.

I wouldn't even have a preseason game in Sydney. The Brisbane Lions and Sydney Swans don't play any of their home games in Melbourne.

You accuse others of being unhinged and abusive, yet you're quite unhinged and abusive.

just to the wannabe tough guy boomers who want to see Walsh get hurt cause he wears nail polish or some shit.

There needs to be a crackdown on players targeting Walsh. NSW has a long history of trying to inflict serious injury on Queensland's playmakers by tackling them late and off the ball, often from behind.

NSW players used to hit Thurston off the ball all the time without any repercussions. There was a second rower from Parramatta who used to do it all the time.

If NSW continue to use these grubby tactics then Queensland should select a plodder and tell him to do the exact same thing to the knees of Turbo, Teddy or Clearly. It's only when a NSW plahmaker ruptures an ACL that the media will take it seriously.

You're got to be smart about sponsorship
Big money in Sydney
Northern areas of Sydney is very financially. And big companies. Money
Very rich area Honey pot
You cannot ignore the sponsors
South Melbourne. Swans
Fitzroy lions. Brisbane
They did. Do whatever
Perth Bear's Can do it their way. Something very different. New

It'll be interesting to see how many people from the North Shore become members of the Perth Bears.

I now live in the lower north shore but will always be a Manly fan, but I’d def get behind the Bears as my second team and go to all N.Syd oval games for sure.

Will North Sydney Bears still exist at NSW Cup level?

Good question

 

[flippikat]

I can see them being a feeder club for the Perth Bears (ie letting the current deal with the Storm expire), makes sense for keeping the costs of running NSW Cup manageable.

Plus it means that the Perth side & the Norths side of the operation need to have some degree of co-ordination - not just in logistics of bringing players between top tier & 2nd tier, but coaching strategy & development.

Long team I can see North Sydney Bears as Perth's feeder & *maybe* Newtown Jets as the Storm's feeder at NSW Cup, as the Sharks will at some stage want to bring their 2nd tier "In house".

I say "maybe" with the Storm, because with air travel more convenient & cheaper between Melbourne & Sydney (compared to between Perth & Sydney), it might be desirable AND feasible for them to have their own NSW Cup based in Melbourne.

If that happens (Sharks & Storm going "in house" for NSW Cup), then the Jets are in some trouble.
