WA BEARS

[Perth Red]

I'm agnostic on if we take on the NS records, minor detail in the grand scheme of the challenges ahead. Id suggest we will as part of our agreement with NSFC but WA people will celebrate any premiership as a maiden one for the Western Bears.

It's just a sporting club relocation. It doesn't need to cause an aneurysm.

The comparison is that both clubs were kicked out of the NRL and then made their way back. One didn't include a relocation. It's. Not. That. Complicated.

Actually it is because nobody in their right mind would agree with you. This is a new WA Club.

I’m thinking this WB bloke is an 85 year old Bears supporter with advanced dementia

I think some of these North Sydney guys are living in a dream world …the hammer is gunna drop soon I suspect

Then you are being generous.

If I've got dementia I'm glad I can at least get my head around the simple concept of a relocating sporting club.

I suspect there will be a lot in Perth that think differently …and that’s the teams real market

 

[Wb1234]

didnt you like the Western Reds? I did.
Out of West Coast, Western or WA (and I dont like just Perth as it excludes regional WA) Western is good. Id have preferred West Coast but as a nod to the Reds Im happy with Western.

Western reds yes I did

club will be called the bears on tv

if they used Perth maybe not

Yeah sure. Good luck convincing anybody that this is what is happening.

Middleton is a guru of rugby league history

I take what he says highly

 

[wb2027]

I won't need any luck because it's an extremely easy premise for any normal person to get their head around.

Yep. The old market is basically dead.

Keep telling yourself that. It’s a Perth Team. That’s how every body will see it. You are part of the passing parade.

Quite the opposite. There's sound commercial reasons to keep the NS side on board. We want Norths LC to pump more money into NSW pathways and as many NS fans as possible to buy Western Bears memberships and merch.

Western reds yes I did

if they used Perth maybe not

all clubs get called by their moniker 90% of the time on tv.

Second this.

Sounds like Middo was asked for an opinion. He will follow whatever the game decides though.

Never said it's not a Perth team. It'll be a team that existed prior to moving to Perth. Swans have 5 premierships, only two since they've been the Sydney Swans.

I’ve no problem with that. Given some of the nonsense written here their remaining fans will be easy meat

And now every April I sit on me porch
And watch the parade pass before me
I see my old comrades how proudly they march
Reliving their dreams and past glories
But as year follows year, more old men disappear
Sameday no one will march there at all

Im guessing this is the guy that did the Titans and WC Pirates logos. Reality is the world has moved on in sport and the clean simple digital friendly logo is now expected.

Northern Eagles logo is the best of the bunch from a visual perspective, that’s saying something.

There are obvious issues with that logo though for what it was meant to be represent.

Didn't mind that short-lived Steelers logo.
