WA BEARS

[MugaB]

The club would need to play all 12 games in Melbourne to have any hope of being accepted by Victoriansm. Its odds of winning over Victorians are as low as a joint venture between Brisbane Tigers and North Sydney Bears being a hit in Brisbane.

My main take away from all this is the ARLC will need to invest a lot of resources in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth if it wishes to grow a sizeable fanbase and player base in these markets. Storm are still treading water. The litmus test for them will be when their success dries up. Bellamy cannot go on forever. The other clubs are catching up with the Storm off the field.

I cannot see the ARLC investing in non-RL markets.

They dont need to, its the clubs job to do that...
Aka the bears to promote and provide their investment and involvement in that area if they are playing there, the ARLC just need to hand them a licence, which entitles them the access to the grant.
All the clubs are autonomous, they dont answer to the arlc, its actually the other way round, and the governing body, the NRL are there to set the rules and keep each club abided by them, but as far as resources, thats all the clubs now, they all do their own thing

As for 12 games in the market city, i doubt thats a necessity, for areas like Melbourne, when the storm are already there, and Adelaide where there is a low percentage of RL fans, its one loop hole these bears would use to get "their heritage NSO" matches

If Bears get the licence they will probably relocate back to North Sydney after a few years. I wouldn't blame them for returning to North Sydney. They have to do what's best for them.

Wollongng an hour south, penrith just under an hour west, Newcastle just under 2 hours north too...
I love your passion for CC, and the bears, but they shant be allowing another defacto Sydney club back in NSW, look to another city, Melbourne could share its 5 million pop, adelaide has 1.5m, there are options greater than CC

You don’t strengthen your argument by mentioning places an hour out of Sydney with nrl teams

that’s an argument for central coast

I cannot see a second Melbourne team being viable. It would be another GWS, but 100 times worse because the Storm aren't as culturally embedded in Melbourne as the Swans are in Sydney.

Zero chance of a second Melbourne team for 50 years

let the first one start producing decent nrl players regularly first and growing tv viewers in visitoria

This is exactly right. This whole story is nothing but a little bit of drama to keep the news firmly on RL. He throws out ridiculous figures and the consumers of “channel 9” style media outlets lap it up without any reasonable question.

Imagine suggesting face to face to the people of Melbourne, the idea of sharing a top flight sports club with Sydney, playing a few home games here and a few home games there. It’s laughable. There is no way Melbourne II is anywhere near the realistic discussions of the next three licences, or the next five for that matter.

Rougjly an hour is how far the titans, bronx and redcliffe are away from each other,
10 teams within that hour radius is not an argument
needed WB, so yeah the opposite

Melbourne storm have been in more GFs and won more than most teams, and they have no juniors, professional clubs run well don't need juniors, the game needs them, the storm just need a solid pathway, which they've lined up constantly for over 25 years... great governance

Because the populations of Sydney and Brisbane are the same

Sydney doesn’t have too many teams

I could easily argue a north Sydney bears team would be stronger than the storm or any Perth team

What happens when Bellamy retires and they have no juniors

Vlandys thinks it does lol

reality is without the NRL diverting more and more money to clubs a number of Sydney ones would be unviable. Most of them have had to find revenue from elsewhere as their FC operations are too small. Too many mouths, not enough rice in one city.

Not only that, they also had a tremendous leg up from being owned by News. The fact they have retained Bellamy since Mews left has been a god send. His departure will be Melbourne’s acid test.

You sound like the karens and the aus govt 60mil,what happen when funding get cutt of,
