WA BEARS

The NRL's demands of WA are ludicrous given what they're offering in return. The NRL are literally demanding more of WA than they've ever asked of anywhere else, and giving them the least in return. The NRL have also made it clear that they aren't actually interested in a WA side, and are only willing to tolerate one if it helps achieve other objectives.

At some point WA have to ask themselves if it's worth it given the ridiculous asking price.

If WA's smart they'll make a reasonable counter offer; something along the lines of they'll help fund a COE, reasonable upgrades to HBF with a decent deal on rent, etc, etc, but no Bears, all 12 home games at HBF, it's not the WA taxpayers job to fund your junior develop programs, etc, then wait and see.

If the NRL still turn them down after that, well, decent negotiators have to know when it's time to walk away from a deal... Step back, bide your time, and let PVL try to fob his tainted goods off on somebody else.

Lol

The Bears drove him insane from so many near misses, no wonder he hates them, they made his life a misery, somebody forgot to tell him it was only a game of footy.
Blokes like you have spent the better part of 30 years crying about your team being stolen from you only to turn around now and attempt to do exactly that to others. . . The fact people like you are ethically bankrupt parasites doesn't mean we all have to be.

Most of you merkins were absentee for decades until you thought their was a chance for the club to steal their way back into the NRL, but somehow you're the 'real fans'. Yeah, you can f**k yourself to the moon with that shit, especially when the club probably would have gotten back into the NRL after a few seasons like Souths did if pricks like you had kept showing up, but you didn't, and somehow it's everybody else's fault.

That tribalism runs deep. If there was only a way for the NRL to harness it?!

"Says the ex-Bears" so called fan
Besides the bears merged they weren't kicked our like lol@souffs were, you can't blame the norths fans for getting slumped with a merger that was heavily manly and heavily sea Eagles, the only thing about the Northern Eagles that was bears was black in the colors that's it

It’s actually been 25 years, during that time I was heavily involved with the Central Coast Bears in a volunteer capacity on most weekends during their campaign, I have also been a financial member of the Bears since before their demise.
I have tried to move onto other teams during this time but history has prevented me from doing so, I like the Dolphins and I have a small interest in teams with players that I know that play for them.
As an ex Bears fan you certainly show a lot of hurt towards them, it is more like you are a ex Manly fan than a ex Bear with 99.9 of your posts.
You should change your forum name to “That Bastard Chihuahua” with your constant yapping about the Bears, ffs get over it you flop.

bugger. here we were on a path to love and the great dame comes in here with a troll post and upsets people. fine trolling sir.

however I guess the real point is it doesn’t matter what you think dame, things are what they are and moving in the direction that their moving. what you arguing for or in this case against is utterly pointless as it’s a case of been there, done that.

let’s appreciate what is. ive never understood how critiquing a bunch of rugby league fans wanting to see their club back in the fold is a bad thing. they’ll be paying customers, they keep fighting not just for their team but for our sport. this should be appreciated not made fun of. it’s the backwards archaic view of people stuck in the 80s that set the game 30 years back to begin with. bring on the bears fans, west aussie league fans and if jets get up in ippy then those fans too.

just my view anyways. not that it matters much im just a simpleton rugby league fan and paying customer to the game.

I doubt he is a former Bears fan. If he actually is then his post read as self-loathing to me. Upset that he made a decision to not be loyal and follow another team in order to keep following Rugby League thinking it wasn’t possible the Bears could come back. Now that it looks like they are, he is regretting his Rugby League sl ut move.

all the crappola aside does anyone have updates on progress here with west bears?

reds? redbear? wb? matty? next week will be all about papua but maybe week after we might get a sniff of west aussie bears news then Christmas then nothing until at least 2nd week jan. anyone else feel this is how it’ll play out? maybe announcement around aussie day? or even 7th feb 2025? that date hold significance to bears.
