Peter Beattie told the Cummins consortium twice they had to pay a license fee close to 20 millionIf this is to be believed, then why didnt any of the bidding parties know? You cant just ask people what license fee they WANT to pay. No one will offer something they dont have to.

Yes and outside Bears pathways what is actually in place right now? Nothing. There’s no assets, the infrastructure hasn’t been built, the start up costs are on the provision of acceptance and it’s not like they have money in the bank as an operating entity.WA govt was building that same infrastructure for the club
ns bears were supposed to be the same pathways Redcliffe have
a consortium was going to spend $30million on start up and running costs
Arlc give qrl that money to spend on grassroots
but yeh apart from that your correct lol
They were told, cumins was told a few times by Peter beattie, guess what... he ignored itIf this is to be believed, then why didnt any of the bidding parties know? You cant just ask people what license fee they WANT to pay. No one will offer something they dont have to.
Just explaining the articles are the same as posted already. That anything posted and linked to DT is the same as CM, HS and TA. That’s all.Some news ltd is subscriber only
Most of the good stuff is

It's how the png bid (fed govt) deal got funded, he scared them with WA bearsPvl is just talking up another qld team to a scare wa into doing what he wants

Peter Beattie told the Cummins consortium twice they had to pay a license fee close to 20 million
Cummins thought by putting zero he could pay a fee of a few million in the wash up
He gambled and lost
What negotiationNot yet - still in negotiation.
And it says something to me that every other bid has also failed so far. Except PNG. Something may be wrong with this process.
Mr pawnbroker isn't putting in $12 million is he.Is that any different than if Mr Pawnbroker cuts off the funding?
If only the ARLC had a former premier who knows how Governments work...
What negotiation
They obviously are not ready bids, just ideas, and hopefuls, the png bid had been carefully and slowly building for over 3-4 years now, even without all the money thrown at it, it would've been a well drawn out bid, they even got development teams work out and paid for by the govt early last year to start grooming that next Gen, for when the bid comes to fruition, Andrew Hill has been good for themNot yet - still in negotiation.

You’ve missed the update that was posted previouslyLiterally the ones still ongoing. Even PVL has said no bid is dead.
The equivalent to saying this is,That doesnt mean they want to be held to ransom either.
Nothing was forced. WA had full choice to go alone. They were advised against it so they didn’t. But who knows, they were also advised many times to stump up a licence fee and didn’tIf Bears want back in, why don't they stump up the shortfall that the WA government won't provide?
Will be interesting if WA fails to proceed. Will PVL also abandon the Bears or force another expansion applicant to take them on.
So they admit Perth with all the holes...
They run bottom 4 there 1st few years ( both expansion teams will be shit for a while )
Like Titans or Newcastle under Tinkler private investment ( Hell add 2 Perth national league sides in Glory and Wildcats that both had a change of ownership )falls through.
Then where does the Perth team sit?
It should be very hard to get into the comp and that side should be sustainable.
Why is this such an issue that NRL are being smart about this?
