WA BEARS

[Colk]

Yeh I don’t think he really means all of it

it’s just Perth red keeps falling for the bait so he keeps repeating it

Maybe me as well

 

[Colk]

Billy just needs to tout the North Singapore Bears and he'll be considered a genius...

I’d prefer South Singapore. I think that is where the harbour is

You seem to be a strange person. Why do you want the game to be only played in one state?

Qlders want to see a return of the Qld based comp as a equal in parrallel to a NSW based comp

Solves a lot of expansion talk

 

[The Penguin #6.]

I’m sure WB would be jumping on board and touting them as the latest dead certs lol


let’s just catch our breath and remind ourselves why perth are still favourites

1. number of interested rich backers wanting to bid
2. Proven strong existing RL fanbase in a city of over 2mill that is growing rapidly
3. adequate stadium with a 21k capacity and 19k seats with around 14k of them undercover, good public transport links and short walk to cities main entertainment area
4. cashed up WA govt on record as ready to support rugby league if perth gets a club
5. despite minimal investment a jnr system that is the strongest outside the heartland states and is producing nrl and nrlw first graders
6. provides a positive 6pm sunday time slot with it still being a day game in perth boosting crowds and quality of football
7. opportunity to partner with qlnd cup and/or png partners for further jnr pathway development

as long as the consortium can tick the nrls boxes for investment and confidence then perth is a no brainer for club 18. If they agree to fund nrlwa a mill a year as well as run female clubs and can get a qrl cup partnership agreement then there is no reason the nrl shouldnt take a step to being national, as Vlandys has stated they want to do. Simple fact is we don’t need Bears if we have the above.

If we don’t then Bears might be the only option now, as bad as it will be.

I`m all for Perth being the 18th team because I believe that it is the lack of a truly national coverage that is holding our TV negotiations back but I read in an earlier post of yours that there are 3 potential rich backers with one of them being a definite that I have to admit I`m a little sceptical about.
I genuinely want to believe there is, but a lack of any public statements or publicity I find a little odd. Blaming the NRL for being conservative I`m not sure about either.
How real is this WA bid ?

It’s a good question and having been badly burnt in 2011-13 I can see why potential bidders will be keeping things behind closed doors for now. we have on record in The last 12 months three WA backers who have said they want to bid. I’m sure if they are serious they will have talked to the nrl.
Until the nrl announces what it intends to do with club 18, if they will specify a location etc then I doubt we’ll see too much bluster from the West, unlike some other possible bidders cough cough bears. It’s not a popularity contest to be played out on social media.
now,of course there is the possibility that none of the three can put together a strong enough consortium to bid, or decide it’s too hard, or get told nrl isn’t looking at perth. Time will tell.

Who are these Queenslanders?

In any case it’s an irrelevancy because the game isn’t going back to two state based competitions and if it ever did it would be the death of the game as a professional sport.

Grotd lol

He might want to kill a few Sydney sides but has he ever suggested a return to the QRL?

In any case, none of this (state comps) will ever happen again and if it did the game wouldn’t be able to compete. Essentially we would be like RU in this country.

Honestly sometimes I just sit back and look at different people trolling someone else on here it’s kinda funny

when I’m bored I’ll throw some stuff in

it’s way more than half people intentionally trolling

It’s good to know you dont believe half the sht you write and are just trolling. I’ll keep that in mind with your future contributions. You might like to find a different hobby.

Your one of the worst trolls on here

half the time you should know better too but you just keep winding people up with nonsense

 

[LimeRick]

As somebody who reads these for the constructive ideas, the trolling is exhausting to trawl through.

Regarding an NZ2 team, if it goes ahead I think they should backend the team's home games.

The Super Rugby finals end by the end of June, if the majority of the NZ2 home games were played from late June, there'd be little-to-no competition for local crowds.

Dont have to backend them all, play a home game once a month add the bye early before origin, then hammer it home hard with 6-9 home games after that june date, also rinse repeat this with the warriors too, and make sure they have their derby on early

They've put it out there already, perth need to create a bid now, unfortunately it seems like they want a corságe put on before wasting their time and effort lying about how theyll be a competitive force if let in, i have no doubt that perth reds would have been a success has they have not been locked under the arls payment plans, but back then there wasn't the professionalism in sporting comps as there is these days, and everything regrding travel costs is all underpinned nowadays, i reckon this consortium of rich backers is super gun shy... if they want a team its simple.... GIVE THE NRL SOMETHING THEY DON'T HAVE!!!!

PR if there is anyone more connected to the game in perth RL listening, get yourself the Easts tigers or Ipswich jets, etc to be your feeder club
Get yourself a proper roll out bid publically already, like Dumbass Dickson for Bears, or Andrew Hill for PNG, and protest all the things you say here on these threads....
Then to give the NRL and ARLC no choice but to pick you, throw in that your VERY RICH BACKERS are going to purchase a Private plane, specifically to be used for long flights for the NRLs pleasure (of course under pinning perths usage as primary) that sort out any travel costs for dealing with perth, townsville, auckland, melbourne, and SEQ.
totalling up enough money for an expansion team to pay for themselves, the only hitch is that there is fuel and maintenance cost regarding a plane, but that can get worked out...

i know PVL wants a plane specifically one just for the NRL, do this if you want the Reds back, so its a gimme statement and blows any other bid out of the water, should others come knocking

Isn't that when all the international Rugby is played though?

That's the real competition in terms of eyeballs, crowds, media coverage, merchandise etc?

That's the real competition to the NRL, not Super Rugby

I wouldn't say it'd be too big of an issue.

The Rugby Championship is six weeks. There's five weekends before that of zero union. Once it's on, it'll be competition for eyeballs and media coverage, but it's pretty easy to schedule the NZ teams at different times from the All Blacks (especially when they play in Argentina and South Africa).

In terms of people actually attending, there are so many cities vying to host the All Blacks that local matches are at most once a year. This year Christchurch is hosting their first ABs game since 2016. Pretty easy (you'd think anyway) to avoid the one weekend every few years that the ABs are in town.

As MugaB said, you don't have to play the whole season at one end, but just weight it towards the end. The international schedule is lighter, so it should be easier to schedule games without competition.

 

[MugaB]

Or just go with Perth, Adelaide and PNG, thus dont bother with Christchurch as another licence, but you can still do this work around for the warriors regardless, this gives them a straight run to the finals of home games consecutively and games every week not every fortnight but only during that time after RU has finished...
I also think that every team should be donating a home game next season to the warriors for the effort during covid being basically away for 2 seasons

That scheduling re:Christchurch is an anomaly due to Covid though isn't it?

You cant everyone without killing off some of those poor performing regional teams
