I think a thread called "My thoughts on why Vlad59 needs a frontal lobotomy" would be much better.

I can't argue with that point.

How many bears threads are there now?

Almost as many threads as there are News Ltd articles on the Bears.

Will North Sydney Bears still exist at NSW Cup level?

Why not?

What is this thread? Can we talk some RL?

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Why not?

Fitzroy and South Melbourne don't exist at VFL level.

I can't argue with that point, either.

I blame the News Ltd media for pushing this crap about the Bears down everyone's throat for 20 f**ken years. It the Bears do get the licence and take games to Sydney then the media will have played a large role in it. For that reason I'm contemplating getting rid of my Foxtel subscription and just watching full game replays on YouTube.

If it is News Ltd media pushing the Bears as the solution to Perth, then it's hilarious given that a) one of Superleague's basic premises was that Sydney was oversaturated with top-tier league clubs, and b) as a result of merger talks it was agreed to cull or force the merger of Sydney clubs - the Northern Eagles shambles being a flow-on from that.

Do you want to know the reason why Sydney was oversaturated with top-tier league clubs? It was thanks to a prehistoric dictatorship that couldn't see that Rugby League needs to grow in order to become a global game.

News Ltd is a cancerous tumour sucking the game dry.

No mate.
Cheap flights weren't always a thing you know. Geography as you understand it was a completely different beast 100 years ago, even 50.
The AFL had a saturated Melbourne market too.
Supersonic Jets may change things further..everything is changing rapidly and constantly.

Advocates for the "Perth Bears" keep on comparing them to the Swans and Lions.

Absolutely.. it's just crazy that Norths weren't given some recognition for jumping before they were pushed (re: the Central Coast relocation they had in-process) and given all the support they needed to get the Central Coast Bears off the ground in 2000.
