They won’t get one hundred percent
Best they get is 50 percent

Norths nsw cup team will be seperate to the nrl team

I wanna know if the Perth team use 1908 or 2027 as the foundation date
If it’s a new team then it should be 2027 (but they will definitely go 1908 and recognise the existing first grade premierships). Which then begs the question of which team would be the “original” Bears, the first grade or NSWCup team?

How many juniour clubs has norths got?

Again it's not about what numbers Norths have alone, It is giving a new club on the other side of the country. The best shot at getting a piec of the 100k plus juniors in NSW.

Throw in they are running 2nd in NSW without NRL contracted guys, improving the depth pool outside of the Fulltime contracted players

Bears juniors are beating established nrl players

they are ready for the step up

and that’s without an nrl team their juniors will explode with the bears back in

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

There is a lot more to an NRL club than having access to some juniors or reserve graders - that other clubs can come and poach at anytime. The coaching setup will be more important. Perth will need to get that right early on, like the Dolphins with Bennet and Woolf.

Coming 1st in NSW Cup now actually, and have a NRL pathways featuring Harold Matt’s, S.G.Ball (men’s) and Lisa Faola, Tarsha Gale (women’s).
Next Year the Bears with have a Jersey Flegg side again.
In the local North Sydney Competition the Bears have 8 clubs, as the competition has been rebuilding steadily since the area has struggled since 1999 when the Bears were shafted from the NRL.
But then it is more about growing numbers in WA and providing a strong NRL pathways via their East Coast representative teams.
Butt Wrinkles will always be negative no matter what positives are put in front of him especially if it is connected to the Bears..

The Bears competition is a comparatively weak one. It’s barely grown this year at all in fact. Beef it up all you like. There are much better stronger and sounder clubs out there than the Bears who could provide a much stronger feeder base than the pack of parasites in North Sydney.

It should be 1908, as they’re merging with the NS Bears. It’s not a full relocation, more like an expansion and the HQ is moving to a different city

Ironically if they had any morals or brains and had stayed on the central coast then they would be bringing something to the table.

There’s no point having a connect to NS if it’s not the same club. If the juniors aren’t tied to WA then there’s no point being the Bears, as we’ve seen plenty of times, NRL clubs change their junior/pathway clubs regularly. The Jets have partnered up when Cronulla, Warriors while the Bears have been feeders to Easts and Souths.

what’s stopping WA Bears partnering with another NSWRL team and dumping the Bears

Let’s hope nothing. The sooner they are rid of them the better
