WA BEARS

[Perth Red]

and back to the bears.....

 

[Pneuma]

Honestly given the pastings he cops it’s good to see there’s some people that have been gulled into his pro afl rhetoric

I just find it all a big joke. This is all a bit of fun. Like you I couldn’t care less what anybody here thinks of me.

And back to the Bears.....

I'm pretty much just regurgitating, but I hope the Bears aren't involved in any bid.

It just creates a bit of uncertainty that they might be dragged back to Sydney one day.

Perth is the obvious spot for the next team, massive untapped market, new timeslot, but I hope it's done without any connection to the Bears.

I'm aware. He's not pro PVL. Personally, I think he could be doing better as well.

PR's comments are still about rugby league. I'd rather read his content about sport, than content just attacking other users. You know what they say, play the ball, not the man.



I'm an optimist. I believe you can change for the better. I'll give you another shot before popping you on ignore.

f**k ignore, report the merkin

By the way have you noticed he has toned down the anti V’landys rhetoric recently? I think he’s learned his lesson to some extent.

Yep report me. I will miss you all!

I have him on ignore and you can tell by peoples responses when he’s posting his usual I hate the nrl bs

I saw a few posts recently which were quite positive

someone must have stolen his login details

You pretty much mention him in every second comment. Even when it's not about him, or from him, you still reply "But Perth Red likes him".

It's bordering on obsession (not just from you). Just put him on ignore and let the expansion threads live in peace.

"Because there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, or anywhere else. Whole families destroyed, simply because they were born different from those in power. Well, after tonight, the world's powerful will be just like us. They will return home as brothers, as mutants. Our cause will be theirs. Your sacrifice will mean our survival. l'll understand if that comes as small consolation" - Erik Lennsherr

You have the exact issue that I have with get rid of da donkey... insanely repetitive negative agenda fueled dribble that derails every thread, my advice...
Call out every post that is factually incorrect, then rest knowing that you tried your best to show the other posters here that you meant well...
Everyone has a voice, and if half the people are sitting on ignore to each other then the whole thread is unreadable anyway, coz one person will drone on about the same repetitious topic without anyone calling out their BS... we all need to be tolerant...
That means even you... and Pneuma behaves like a child simply because PR won't, but he is right PR does have a tendency to repeat comparable issues with AFL and loves to belittle anything regarding the current league administration, it gets a bit boring when most expansion threads are getting rerouted to the same topic, by the same handful of posters with an obvious agenda

That’s the most annoying thing is putting people on ignore yet they still get so many bites that it makes threads unreadable

it’s the same bs it’s so boring

it’s middle aged men acting like kids it’s embarrassing

This won't last...
As soon as there is another press conference regarding saint peter, the threads will blossom with offshoots of failure from the ARLC

 

[Perth Red]

anyway back to the bears.....

f**k ignore, report the merkin

Didn't @Te Kaha say that @Pneuma is an alt from some one who was banned?

I agree that the Bears offer nothing but trouble for Perth.

If the Bears said they wanted to relocate to Adelaide -- after Perth got a team of its own -- then that would bring much needed attention to rugby league in South Australia. That's the only way North Sydney can benefit the NRL because there's no sign of the ARLC doing what needs to be done to get a team into Adelaide.

 

[Perth Red]

I agree a it the Bears being more trouble than good for Perth.

If the Bears said they wanted to relocate to Adelaide after Perth got a team of its own then that would bring much needed attention to rugby league in South Australia. That's the only way North Sydney can benefit the NRL. There's no sign of the ARLC doing what needs to be done to get a team into Adelaide, so the Bears bringing it up would lead to the Sydney media talking up the move.

Its kind of frustrating and I do sit on the fence a bit IF conditions were right.
In the current list of demands by the NS Bears there is no way it will work and I would not support it at all. In fact I'd not even become a member.
However if we were talking a genuine relocation like the Swans then it could have a wide range of benefits and actually create another potential Storm in size and strength.

20k WA members + 10k Sydney members
dedicated grassroots pathway in Sydney for NSW young talent paid for by NSLC
Perth + Sydney sponsors
massive merch sales
Instant heritage to adopt
Tv audiences in WA and NSW

There's a lot to be said for the potential.

But for it to work the club would have to be based FT in Perth, would have to change brand to include Perth or West Coast in name, would have to change club colours to include some yellow and most importantly would have to be 75% + owned by a Perth consortium. It will not work as a fifo NS Bears playing some games in Perth.

I see zero signs from NS that those conditions would be acceptable so best we leave them to find somewhere else to latch on to and keep progressing our own Perth based bids.

Enjoyable thread this one

 

[mongoose]

Will Perth get behind the Bears? lets say the Bears actually loosened their demands and committed fully to Perth would Perth want them?

Yes

Maybe with a few Boomers who might remember them, but realistically how much support is a failed Sydney team who hasn't played in the NRL for 25 years going to garner in Perth?
I mean there is less time between Newton withdrawing from the comp and Norths being removed.

I would say it's far more likely they will engender a lot of distrust and bitterness towards the "East Coast" game.

The bears and Perth have a lot in common

literally they both collapsed and ones selfish actions caused the extinction of both

Its not the preferred option by a long way judging on fans response here but as long as the club was a genuine WA club, not FIFO NS, then yes I'm confident the WA community would get behind them. Perception will be absolutely everything. WA is arguably the most parochial place in Australia (largely due to our splendid isolation and dislike of East coasters telling us what to do and taking our money).

If the NRl thinks a NS Bears rocking into town will be accepted they'd be kidding themselves. They'd be mercilessly mocked and seen as a pathetic attempt by an east coast competition to make a half arsed attempt at growing into WA.

For it to work it would have to look, smell and act like a WA club first and foremost. From a WA perspective there is no interest or care about NS. It would be about a WA club, whatever their name is.
