Perth Officially Confirmed to Join NRL in 2027 or 2028

this makes total sense and puts PNG on the front foot - NRL needs PNG to be successful before the Bears

Perth should be going after Michael Hagan

Burgess, Kevvy or Arthur are poor options

They really need the Walker brothers... their creativity and innovation would draw the crowds in for sure. Sign the son/nephew up too.

Mal needs to take the PNG job. Man is a God up there.

I totally agree, but unfortunately, with the PNG funding arrangement, any head position with that team is basically a political appointment.... and Mal can't cope with that.

Arthur would still be fav imo for Perth bears

Sam burgess maybe as his assistant

No way the nrl is that dumb to put an u proven coach in such a key club at inception

I will be a member, but will continue to be a member of Newcastle. I'm a devoted Novocastrian. Red and blue, through and through. But Perth Bears will be my 2nd team, for sure. I've been in Perth since I was a toddler, and was here in the Western Reds heyday. I'll be going for Perth every day of the year except when they play the Knights.

I hate myself too

how good is it that not only Bears Perth is a gay club, but Perth Pumas (original bid name for Reds) was a swingers club...

Plenty of bang for your buck.
