WA BEARS

[Vlad59]

It’s embarrassing that he’s leaking this sht through news ltd. got to keep his paymasters happy I suppose.

This is a game that lives and dies in controversy. Nobody does it better than PVL. It keeps the media cycle focussed on TGG and that’s fine by me.

I read it one of two ways. One he’s sabre rattling to get more money out of wa govt to support the game/club, or two the clubs have more recently told him they want money to agree to expansion and now he’s having to backtrack on the bid criteria to try and get that money to hand out.
good luck getting the nz bids to find more money by the sounds of what we heard of their funding models!

Im sure just bringing in one Team could be an option - PNG … gives them another game to sell.. the same outcome if they go to 19 , but cheaper

If the WA team needs more cash sell off the bears assets, assuming they have any.

After all the Vlandys ball licking on here if we all we end up with is a club no one wants it would be hilarious lol

There's an unused trophy cabinet

 

[Matt_CBY]

Now Vlandys has publicly opened the door and criticised the bids the western bears and wa govt need to tell us what’s in the bid and let us judge for ourselves if what they are offering is ‘enough’.

No they don’t. Your judgement doesn’t matter. It’s the the judgement of those running the game.

I sincerely hope that there isn't one post in this thread whilst one of the greatest GF's is happening.
Anyone who does post during this time will show who the non-rugby league fans are

Yep. The game in't on, thems the rules

 

[Foreign Legion]

Maybe they need to host a P Diddy Party to raise capital.

Does halftime count?!
Paul Gallen and Cameron Smith yakking away means we can partially zone out for a few minutes.

Totally agree, great game so far.
Damn V’Landys and Abdo, how many kick in the guts do Bears and WA league fans need.
Maybe this will lead to more North Sydney involvement $$$, if not the WA Govt may need to put their hands into their pockets $$$.

Or maybe they tell him to get fcked and let’s see him find two better options?

 

[Mother Nature's Son]

"But both provided a key update into expansion as bids are in doubt to expand the game.

“The financial aspect of the bids haven’t been sufficient,” said V’landys.

“They need to invest more, they haven’t invested enough.

“I think they’ve taken it for granted that they’d get a license.”

Given this was made right on GF eve with all the excitement this is an extremely odd time to make such an announcement.

And to make such a statement publicly tells me that negotiations must have reached an impasse, why else would come out and say such a thing. Not looking good I fear.

 

[Bukowski]

It's a bit embarrassing for PVL. They were trumpeting 11 bids but it turns out no one wants to commit enough money except Albo.

Mebbe the bidders needed to bid better?

Mebbe. But his fingerprints are all over the WA bid, I would have thought he knew what was needed.

Is the Bears curse striking again? It’s barely been a week since it last struck.
