Well if the WA govt are covering them why wouldn't they have done so for the first bid?
Smells like ulterior motives at play.

Of course it does.
It would be the worst f**king disaster if the Perth locals started to look for reasons to undermine the WA team, assuming that the Bears don`t over play their hand in this. We have to give them (the Bears) the benefit of the doubt presently. Take note @Perth Red .
Said from day 1 of this I’ve no interest at all in supporting a fifo north Sydney club. We’ve gone from a WA owned and run club to rumours that it’s now going to be ns investors owned. Hmmmm it’s Almost like Vlandys wanted this all along?
Why do you think they’re FIFO? They’ve stated that they will be permanently based in WA.
Needs to be specifically cumins bid for him to get his kickbacks.
Depends on the brand, under 35s are hardly pining for Betamax.
Clearly isn’t interested in what’s best for the game in WA.
And again I’ll answer you the same, I want a WA nrl side, owned and run by WA For the benefit of rugby league and its fans in WA.
And if there wasn`t enough WA investors to get it over the line ? As you`ve said ad nauseum, if it doesn`t happen now it`ll be another 25 years.
Depends if they are spending THAT money on the club set up or a licence fee first, then the remainder on club setup, the smart play is to get in the door first then get into loans, more investors, whilst the ball is rolling, either way WA owned or not makes zero difference to consistant content being played there a hbf park
Even the cumins consortium wasn’t going to be fully own by WA people.
Aka Sydney kings

So good enough for the WA Gov`t but not good enough for the NRL. Looks like everybody`s on different pages here.
So much for will be sorted "late this week, early next" @Red&BlackBear
That article had some great gossBEARS TALKS IN HIBERNATION
The West Australian Government has confirmed that it is willing to work with the NRL in the hope of Perth being part of an expanded competition.
The Western Bears’ hopes took a massive dent when they were formally rejected by the NRL just days after the grand final.
Since then, however, the NRL has been busily working with government officials to try and salvage the plans for Western Australia to be the NRL’s 18th team in 2027.
The NRL has written to WA premier Roger Cook to let him know that talks between the NRL and the consortium had broken down.
The NRL Is now going to explore a different model in terms of ownership which may be similar to that of the AFL running the new Tasmanian side.
It is understood the government replied, where they detailed they are keen to work alongside the NRL, but need a better understanding of how the new franchise would work.
They will now wait to hear from the NRL in the next fortnight.
The WA Government was fully supportive of the consortium bid led by Cash Converters boss Peter Cumins.
That bid has been rejected by the NRL but the government is holding out some slim hope that the parties may be able to come back to the table.
