Is fat boy Crapon there?

I really hope that is a throw away line to de-escalate Rugby. I can imagine that the Force would be keen as the writing is on the wall.

Yeah … I gotta feeling that was a bit of a throw away about sharing players with the Force, and I think that media dude sniffed it out and PVL then walked it back a bit …Probably the one thing he got wrong I think

Already a red flag that the two sports are to share facilities ... they are direct competitors and should have nothing to do with each other. Bears should only be concerned about signing the best junior talent across both codes.

I still think twiggy could end up owning the bears

The force are on borrowed time

Pvl said something about working with him down the track

And yeh I think Pvl is just trying to fit in with thy other wa sports they won’t be sharing players

 

[Wb1234]

Paper says the Perth bears have to submit a report each year to wa govt as to how the govt money is spent so it looks like they will be controlling how it’s spent

 

[taipan]

Dolphins, Bears, PNG... 2022 - 2028. Wild compared to say 2012 - 2018 or 2002 to 2008. Great to see the game growing and not at the expense of exisiting clubs. Grow the sponsorships, grow the revenue, grow the player pool and grow the game.

They should build a PVL statue at League HQ.

I understand he will be nominated for the Nobel Peace prize , bringing sport into undeveloped areas and uniting the locals.

I'm stoked.
I don't need to go into the details again but having a WA team back in the NRL is personally to me a wonderful thing.
I've been open in the fact that I did want/prefer a WA team without Norths.
After talking to my Norths supporting mates today I've changed my stance.
They are so happy, and my best mate, who lives in Spain, is over the moon.
I was very apprehensive but I'm now in full support.


One thing,
What other sport could get this type of hype from a "new" team coming into a National Competition in Australia?
I'll answer that:
NONE

Well done by all.

Bit of criticism over the Perth paper …

Apparently the front page thing was bullshit ..

[i0Nic]

Do we have any confirmed information about stadium upgrades and the 200m figure?

 

[Bukowski]

If they did I missed it …it’s possible … they confirmed the Chairman and two others from WA …I don’t think they commented about the others on the board …

You should watch a replay of the whole thing … tough gig ..Cook and PVL were grilled …but they seemed to handle it ok …

Yeah, can't wait to get home

 

[Perth Red]

Is fat boy Crapon there?

No he sent a woman who wouldn’t shut up. She just embarrassed herself lol.

 

[Wb1234]

Cookie is a smart operator

He could make a good replacement for Albo once he wants to move on

Handles the media very well

 

[Perth Red]

Shook Vlads and Abdos hand and thanked them for the club on behalf of all Perth bears fans. Still pinching myself it’s finally here! Time for a beer!

 

[bad boy bubby]

Cook was great.
He had an obvious passion that was real.

Maybe not all pollys "want a cracker"?
