If Perth don't want bears maybe Adelaide should step in. Adelaide rather than Perth means a lot less travel for away teams too!!

SA State Govt needs to be invested in a team and be prepared to put money in just like the WA Govt have been

Poolside Pete would be all over that if the NRL approached him.

In saying that it might force our government to make Coopers Stadium bigger if we got a team here. Love the joint but far too small and bugger all cover from the elements.

Well, this was planned to be the Rams jersey if they survived into 1999.

The blue is rather Newtown-ish, so a blue shirt with red & yellow trim??

I think the first step has to be the NRL taking games to Adelaide every year.

One a year, maybe even two - to guage support & build the sport's profile. Then once the Government there see the NRL doing that they may be a little more forthcoming in tangible support/incentives.

That has to start NOW - and actually, should have been in the NRL's thinking & strategic plan for some time.

I mean, just look at how regular games in Perth have helped keep the game on the radar there.
