WA BEARS

[Vlad59]

The Sydney centrics really are ramping up their brain dead bias now. So the NRL is really just an extended NSWRL? If you want to understand why our game has struggled to expand beyond its traditional base it’s all there in front of you. These peanuts find any reason to disparage the Storm and insist that Perth must rely on a failed old second division Sydney club to justify its entry. They lie about participation and growth in these States. On and on it goes. Good old rugby league. Greatest game ever but inhabited by gutless administrators and too many narrow minded supporters to ever reach its true potential.

Take it easy grotd

Take it easy grotd

He has been off his meds lately. Peter Beattie only cares about old Sydney relics not what is best for expansion

Facts are NRL offical recognises the NSWRL clubs in its records.

Dolphins were created as a new club so aren't

Bears depending on their setup will either count Norths or not.

No different to when a US sport team moves and the record goes with them

 

[Perth Red]

You seem to have afl and rugby league mixed up

And you seem to be stuck in your nswrl myopic world.

And you seem to be stuck in your nswrl myopic world.

So you'd have no problem with head office deciding where the Bears have to spend their development money?

 

[Perth Red]

Who knows better those in an office is Brisbane or Sydney or those on the ground in Newcastle and Townsville?

why not both? State head office sets strategy and allocates funding,
grassroots clubs on the ground follow the strategy and use the allocate funds to grow the inr participation rates. If we are just leaving it to nrl clubs to get kids playing the game what about the vast majority of geographic areas that don’t have an nrl club?

Again people get mixed up. Wb mentioned number of kids playing the game.
We arent talking about elite pathway programs, which are very much the remit of the nrl clubs. But they in reality are a tiny % of the number of kids playing the game and do not influence the number of kids taking up the game.

Because of the extra layer of admin required for starters.

Again you think NRL clubs don't go outside of their areas?

Most areas junior numbers have gone up. Those who haven't have issues outside of RL and throwing cash at it won't stop kids parents moving away for work for example

I’m always happy to annoy those who can’t see past the Sydney skyline.

Off my meds hey? I see the game from a national perspective. You see it from a Sydney perspective. No meds required. Just common sense. One only has to look at how poorly the game had been treated outside its old markets to know why participation is so poor outside those markets. Instead morons here blame the neglected states for the lack of growth. Tell me I’m wrong and tell me why.

And you seem to be stuck in your nswrl myopic world.

Welcome to our competition

hope you can produce players and not be a bludger like Melbourne

That’s a mighty big chip you carry on those narrow shoulders. All those recreational drugs you told us you took really have numbed your brain.

 

[Vee]

So back to those Perth Bears .....

That's Western Bears...

He's not wrong but he's an old man shouting at clouds.

Done that a few times myself.

I’m right. And yes I’m shouting at the clouds. The damage was done for decades by pure neglect. Now we have dick wads here blaming the ‘affiliated states’ for a lack of development and participation they were never funded to deliver. Highly amusing.

This is from the NRL website

Ken Irvine has never played a single NRL game.

As a Sharks fan you would know that ET also hasn't scored 166 NRL tries.

The game recognises the NSWRL records because the game came from there

The 300 gamer list again is full of guys pre NRL

Need to wipe off all those broncos comps pre 95 it’s Sydney centric to include them

when they were playing in the nswrl comp

AFL wastes hundreds of millions on juniors and is stilll struggling for players

nrl is the opposite

we are lucky we have leagues clubs who fund much of the junior development allowing head office to instead build up its asset base and fund clubs to five million over the cap

clubs are the ones who develop actual nrl players unlike afl where there is a draft

participation numbers are just bs and are basically useless
