WA BEARS

[Wb1234]

I sure the long term plan is already in place, I doubt Billy had much to do with it lol.

This would make a great novel or tv series

 

[The Great Dane]

No he said if Perths license got revoked the arlc would have a few months to get another Perth team up from scratch

Yes, that's true.

 

[Wb1234]

The only one making up fantasies is you.

The funny thing is there are actually people that believe what you write is credible

words fail me

if the club gets its license revoked it signs up all the old players and does a rebadge

and that’s even assuming the nrl don’t retain rights to the ip in the event the club breaches it’s license conditions

The bad press from the Sydney media of the Bears, who'd have been stringing a story for a few seasons, being kicked out again is not a place the NRL would go.

Like said there are two very simple ways of all these hypotheticals being a moot discussion

1. Give WA a license without the Bears
2. Bears have a very minor ownership stake in the new WA club

Either of those things solves the relocation threat problem.

 

[Wb1234]

Yes, that's true.

Why would the license be revoked ?
If it was why wouldn’t the ip remain with the arlc?
How hard would it be for the arlc to sign all those recently unemployed players on new contracts?

None of it is as simple as that, but I honestly can't be bothered.

So that 20 years of bears plotting will be for naught !

Now you're just being disingenuous.

Dane taking the L

I'm not the one whom seems incapable of understanding the difference between a club folding and breaching their license.

 

[Perth Red]

Perth only needs the Bears if these two things are in doubt:

1. Financial sustainability. Can the Perth club generate enough fan and corporate revenue on its own to be sustainable?
2. Player development. Can Perth develop WA players and have a feeder club arrangement in place with a QRL or NSW cup side to develop players?

Basically any Perth bid that can show a strong business case meeting those two points doesn't need the Bears.

Dane taking the L

Refusing to waste my time on the clueless and dishonest isn't taking an L.

You’ve made posts after that

guess answering simple questions is too difficult for you

The Bears won't accept option 2., which leaves only option 1.

When there's 1 or 2 games a year? And every single person who likes league goes?
Play every week and it'll be 10k average like the last time you had a team.

You have to love these forums sometimes. Let’s face it the competition could put a team anywhere in a place around 500k or more in Australia and New Zealand and it would work and potentially flourish.

You could put a team or two in NZ, Adelaide, Perth and another one in Brisbane and they would all work.

Honestly don't think Perth or Adelaide work. Melbourne have been successful for 25 years or something in an AFL town of 6 million.
They're are a success.
But 6 million!
Successful on the pitch the whole time!
So in AFL territory it's going to be extremely hard even with the luck that you have the best coach and Players almost ever!
Adelaide and Perth can't technically fail because of the grant but they will be an overwhelming net loss to the NRL.
