PNG's back.

1 point

 

[Perth Red]

Png isn’t his idea

he was supporting Perth

albo is the one convincing him

Don’t let albo steal his thunder!

Out of pistol Pete’s “ideas” it’s hard to know if pacifika 2025 or college football players was the more ludicrous, it’s been a fun week though lol

I love it. Whether you like him or not, he’s so much more fun than Greenberg and provides so many talking points.

 

[Gobsmacked]

I like this idea. Although the logistics would be difficult lol

Really would be cool right.

Nothing in that interview even comes close to contradicting what I've said. In fact it confirms most what I've said, and confirms a lot of my suspicions and fears for a Bears lead NRL side.

'We've got very few non-negotiables. We want our colours back, our badge, minimum 2 games at NSO, and we will fund the rest.'

'We'll go wherever the NRL wants us to to allow us to do what we want to do'

'Our colours, our badge, our history, and two games at NSO, which will be a financial bonanza for the game so we'll probably end up having more'

He's not saying that the Bears will give up their brand or agree to be a minority partner in a club, he's saying that so long as those non-negotiables, and the others he didn't mention but are out there, are met that the Bears are willing to base the team wherever the NRL likes to get back into the NRL. In other words, they'd still own and control the club, but the NRL would be free to dictate where it's based.

He didn't even mentioned or consider the possibility of partners or a merger, it was all about what 'we' (the Bears) will do.

BTW, it's at least 2 games at NSO this time, and he openly admitted that they have ambitions to play more than that at NSO in the future. Even mentioned that he'd like to play a game out of the CC in the future lol. That's a really bad mask slip from him, he must have got too caught up in the excitement of the game.

Where are these PVL 'quotes' BTW. They'll be gold if they're even half as self incriminating as that interview was lol.

“Billy Moore says his organisation is happy to work with a Pasifika team, a New Zealand franchise or one based in Perth if it means their colours, logo and two home games a year in North Sydney are included in any expansion bids.”

You spend a lot of time worrying about future of potential expansion clubs. Here's solution; don't

 

[Wb1234]

Don’t let albo steal his thunder!

Did you vote for albo ?

cause he’s the reason Perth is going to miss out

 

[macca_saint]

“Billy Moore says his organisation is happy to work with a Pasifika team, a New Zealand franchise or one based in Perth if it means their colours, logo and two home games a year in North Sydney are included in any expansion bids.”

One game a year at NSO against Manly for Heritage round makes more sense.

 

[Perth Red]

“Billy Moore says his organisation is happy to work with a Pasifika team, a New Zealand franchise or one based in Perth if it means their colours, logo and two home games a year in North Sydney are included in any expansion bids.”

No he didn’t he said the bears were happy to play in any of those locations, there’s a massive difference!

 

[The Great Dane]

The article I’ve quoted says two home games and no mention of ownership

You didn't link an article.

You linked an interview, and Billy completely undermined your claims in that interview.

Where does it mention ownership

go on

I hope so just for the shts and giggles that will come with watching the nrl try and make a pacifika team work

Always has to mention AFL.

Federal Govt. funds Pasifika Bears, WA Govt. drops a bucketload for Pirates. Sounds like a win-win.

I read the article

I have hearing problems I can’t understand that interview I tried listening now

 

[macca_saint]

Who else can we hit up in State or Federal politics to fund a side?

 

[Perth Red]

Gws

Funny that i was just thinking this Pacifica club has the real possibility of taking over gws‘s mantle as worse thought out expansion in Australian sport lol

 

[Wb1234]

I hope so just for the shts and giggles that will come with watching the nrl try and make a pacifika team work

The only reason Perth is a chance at an nrl team now is govt involvement

now your mad another govt has gotten behind a rival nrl bid

albo has the desire and money to make png a success

You’re forgetting the Macarthur Bulls
