Western Australian team is coming. One way or another and it’ll still be Bears.

Ownership model and business people behind will be different that’s all.

The moment WA businessman started looking at Sydney investors for an WA owned side - something wasn’t right. Especially when they outright rejected far wealthier people who have ties to Bears. All comes out in the wash eventually. Better things await by looks of it. It’ll still be WA club for WA people. That won’t change.

Everything was cloak & danger from start. If you're backed by big money, then you reveal the backer.

When the logo was presented by WA Consortium of their vision of Western Bears which was quite literally rejected by ARLC and PVL immediately, I think that’s when ARLC went - “hold on WTF is this?”

Oh well. Then all of a sudden a former NRL Chief Financial Officer and Chief NRL State and Club Affairs Officer was a randomly appointed on the Norths board..

If it comes down to paying the 60 million bears could do it and own it all

The arlc could still appoint an independent director / also wa govt to ensure it’s run properly

Norths have the people behind them plus their own assets to raise that money
