So it's not about Norths juniors now? FMD you move the goalposts. If it's not about their juniors then they offer nothing.
Where have I said it is about Norths juniors?
Given you are slow I will dumb it down.
Most of the recruitment for NRL clubs is done at Schoolboy carnivals etc.
Perth won't get exclusive access to these kids, They will be competing against every other team.
in 90% of cases the player will choose a team in their home city to play for.
Being partnered with a Sydney or Brisbane club improves their chances of getting a few of the top 50 rated guys.
Perth side of the partnership will no doubt lure some great talent locally from other sports.
You add that with a couple of promising guys from the East that are in the Norths side of the team and you can talent better than only relying on player pool the size of some individual clubs.
As well as being able to get fringe guys from other clubs to switch. Train with Bears and Perth hopefully play well and a long deal to make moving to Perth worth it.
Now it doesn't have to be the Bears but no other NSW team can offer that. Brisbane teams want to run the Brisbane 3 licence.
That is how we have got to the bears.
So no it isn't about Bears juniors as a whole but the opportunities it opens
