Told them they couldn't go with Singo too. If money is an issue.......

I'm not sure that's true, I'm fairly sure singo is only involved if the Jets I.P is in play

I meant with the Jets too. Vetoed by PVL.

Should rebrand to the Eastern Rugby League if they keep making it hard for teams to fill states other than the ones they've been long standing in.

Just put a team in FFS. Perth would take off. Rugby had a good foothold there but f**ked it up with poor administration and club management. Whoever picks up the pieces will benefit greatly.

There's really only 2 cities worthy of expanding to that aren't "east coast" and technically the name was created when Adelaide Rams were in the game, so they were only missing one

I dont think the NRL is actually concerned about how the game will go in the West, this is more a last minute attempt to extract some more $$$

...And?
obviously the NRL wants a return of the Bears branding, not another blue team (jezus)

Pay to Play is fine but give the fans what they want and the dollars will come.

I agree 100%.

Given they fund the teams to the tune of ~$20M annually, its all bit silly anyway.

Why not just say, hey we don't fund you for Year 1 and 2?

That would work.

You could also have an incentive based licence agreement.

- 20m Guaranteed annually for two years
- 5% of gate sales for the first four years to the NRL
- Licence for 10 years
- 8 years of scaled annual grant money by the NRL based on financial performance but limited to four years. Say 20, 20, 10 , 5.
- Marketing to be paid for by the club
- Stadium fees offset by government and NRL for the first 5 years.

Then its up to the bids to back themselves to make it work. If the club fails during this time, they are penalised with a financial fee to be paid to the NRL and government if required.

In the commercial world, we offer incentives based on what is outlaid in an offer/bid. Basically suggests we want you to be here and we will give you X based on Y but if you don't meet the requirements, you only get Z and then the contract has the necessary clauses to make both (all) parties comfortable.

How about they don't settle for broke bids?!

Like only 120k tuned in to the Grand final in the West, so I wouldn't pull that thread

If I didn't have a season long reason to watch a sport, why the f**k would I watch the GF?

Fair point but the NRL made the declaration they want a side. I'd assume they would know who would tender for that licence. The comp needs more teams and geographical coverage so IMO there has to be a level of compromise. Otherwise just take it off the cards for now.

 

[The Man Shake]

The NRL has gone about this bid process horribly wrong. They're not understanding their target market. That target market being Cashies.

They need to approach Cumins with a deal he can't refuse.

First of all the NRL need to offer this Humphrey B Bear costume:

And follow it up with some replicas of the 2007 and 2009 Melbourne Storm premiership trophies...

For good measure, include the premiership rings of the 2007 and 2009 Melbourne Storm teams...

Chuck in a few signed Northern Eagles jerseys:

And to sweeten the deal, a large pot of the finest Winnie the Pooh honey...

Then V'Landys just needs to ask: give me your best license fee for these quality items!

Voila Perff Bears!

Perth were told licence fee would be required in July.
