You have completely missed the point.
We don't think our tradition is the only tradition around. We admire and respect the tradition that non-Sydney clubs have built.
The fact is a fair amount of non-Sydney fans don't give a f*ck about the traditions we set, better yet, the traditions the game is known for.

Ha ha, stop reading the expansion threads then!

Of course I want an NRL Perth team, I love Rl and live in perth, not exactly rocket science! Think you'll find if you could be 4rsed that most perth postings outside of expansion discussion threads are in response to questions or comments other posters put up first.

Anyways how is that tradition argument going again? still going to quit the game if they move a GF?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tradition =
the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, esp. by word of mouth or by practice

Fairly straight forward and a simple concept to understand I would have thought.

Why is it so many people who do not live in sydney are so keen to ignore the games traditions that are generations old.

Just over the hill from Penrith if that helps. Presuming you have been as far from home as Penrith?

to be honest perth red, all you are known for in these parts are demanding perth gets a team, and de-railling every thread you can to suit your agenda. this thread isn't about the reds mate!

Take a look at who brought the Reds into the discussion, it's not me, nor is it usually unless the thread is about expansion! Maybe the avatars are confusing you!

Tradition. Well here's another one. Newcastle Knights and the Wests Tigers play for the Allan McMahon Sheild which was named in his honour not long after he passed away. Wests Tigers well he played for Balmain, and was the first coach of the Newcastle Knights. So it's similar to the Warriors/Storm scenareo.

In that case, the NRL grand finalists should be playing for the North Sydney Bears Cup seeing as they were knifed out of existence 10 years ago.

Tradition gives meaning to something. Take the GF for instance. To Sydneysiders, it's a 100 year old link to every premiership of the past, to the great clubs and players who made our game great. To Clod 9 - the GF is a game between 2 good teams - nothing more, nothing less.

Tradition equates to passion - built up over generations. No -it's not the be all and end all. But funnily enough, we had a comp in the mid 90's that tried to function without tradition. It lasted about .3 weeks before it knew it was dead.

I would suggest that you couldn't give a rat's arse about anything other than getting an NRL in Perth.

That seems to be your traditional stance. f**k everyone else, put a team in Perth.

Not everyone thinks putting a team in Perth is moving forward...

Frankly all you are interested in is protecting the 'right' of weak clubs from being threatened by the introduction of new clubs that could eclipse in time your own. Truly pathetic

Who are you, and how the f**k did you get to be a moderator?

Which forum do you moderate, is there a knitting and crocheting forum here?

They really should have an IQ exam for mods here.

Why would I feel threatened by the introduction of new clubs?

I welcome it, but not at the expense of existing clubs. And I don't have a drama with existing clubs relocating either.

Apparently, not wanting to see clubs die means I fear change....

Try again...

Tradition is what this game is all about. Taking your kids to the footy & baracking for your team & bagging the ref. But our game is also built on being revolutionary. If it wasn't for this we wouldn't have the competition we have today. I personally would love to see a team from Perth in the comp, but doesn't mean I want to see teams like Souths or the Tigpies go!

But the most important thing in all this to remember, this is the people game!
