WA BEARS

[Chief_Chujo]

So good enough for the WA Gov`t but not good enough for the NRL. Looks like everybody`s on different pages here.

It's almost like the parties have different stakes in the game. A poorly thought out Perth ends with a dead club, another black eye on the game and could shut the state off from expansion forever. For the politicians, whatever the outcome, its just fodder in the election cycle.

It will still have wa investors

Just probably not Cummins

The wa govt doesn’t care they just want the inbound tourism

It was poorly thought out to start with from PLV.

He asked for expansion tenders and rejected one of them. How is that poorly thought out?

He placed a non negotiatable onto 1 bid and failed to tell them them they would need a license fee.

His fingerprints are all over the failed bid so he needs to take responsibility for his part.

They were told a license fee would need to be paid during the tender process. Cummins was a genius and put zero thinking he had pulled a swifty. f**k he could have put $1mil or even $500k and they could be negotiating right now. Imagine the disrespect and arrogance, after you've been told that a license fee is necessary, to put a donut to the question. It's no wonder the ARLC walked way.

The non-negotiable of the Bears is based on the success of the Swans/Lions relocation to expansion areas. Again, the ARLC have a lot at stake in expanding west.

He also didn’t tell the arl during negotiations they would need Sydney investors and one of those would be someone who had been sacked by the nrl

Yet, this is where we are. Poorly thought out from the start.

Literally just asked for tenders for a relocation of the bears. Tenders were under NDA as well. So don't blame him for what you read in the media.

If you think a relocation of the bears to Perth is a good idea. It's not, and this is the result. He's scrambling for new investors . LOL.

I'm sure people said the same with the Swans and Lions. Reality is, every expansion into dominant heartlands from both codes has failed, except for relocations.

Storm?
The 2 AFL cubs had licenses in the AFL.
Norths are NSWRL, they don't have a license to relocate.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Storm?

Questionable. Have had a positive effect on ratings(in Vic) but they've been dominant for two decades.

Now you're just getting technical lol

Storm are not successful? LOL
Anyway hopefully Petes well thought out idea can find someone with $50mill.

 

[Trifili13]

Has anyone opened any of the others bids? Or did they also leave the licence fee question blank as well?

I said it's questionable. Had they not been dominant for so long I wonder where they would be. Reminder they were a money sink propped up by the game for a long time, even with their success. Swans or Lions would be massively more successful with the same period of dominance.

The other bids don't leak like a sieve. Another mark against Cummins.

“The bid that they put in was significantly short,” V’landys said.

Pistol himself let that one out the bag.

What? Quoting directly to media isn't leaking lol

Oh, so your worried that Cumins leaked something to the media that PVL had already said publicly?
