The multimillionaire behind Perth's NRL bid says he would welcome a relocated Cronulla franchise with open arms if the club folds in the Shire.
Tony Sage, the owner of the Perth Glory A-League club, is lobbying the ARL Commission for Perth to be given the next NRL license in an expanded competition. The state has not had a team since Perth Reds were axed in 1997.
While Sage's initial talks with the league have been based around the formation of a franchise from scratch, the mining magnate has revealed he would be prepared to take over and relocate the Sharks.
''We would take them tomorrow, without a shadow of a doubt,'' Sage said. ''We would pick them up and fast-track something here. It would work for the NRL, it would mean one less side in Sydney.

Smells like Tinkler again. No f**kn fanks!
What's the point of going to Perth anyway btw? The development should gives us a cashflow so in the long term we should meet our revenue targets as required by the league. The support is clearly at the Shire still. Open up a new franchise that the league would have to pour millions into just to say we can compete with the AFL over there? Its folly imv regardless of our situation.
