Billy Moore planning for the return of the bears to Sydney

 

[bad boy bubby]

You said yourself as long as the bears hold less than 50 percent ownership it will be fine

That has absolutely nothing to do with this person's state. There are some major anger/combatant issues going on.
If this place helps him release it than I'm all for it.

 

[Bukowski]

Well then tell how Perth will be a success with brand new pathways when even Storm will be 10 years into there's?

I am here for the discussion. Everyone likes to bag the idea yet no one puts forward how it can work

Unlike Melbourne they invest in ball, flegg, state cup teams in Perth from the start.
But I've been through this with you. You can't possibly see how a team can work outside of Sydney. Despite there being many clubs outside of Sydney and Melbourne that have already done it.

But he’s an ‘expansionist’. He said so!

 

[Matt_CBY]

You are shifting the goalposts, you were given the source, now it’s ‘outdated’. Billy Moore is still involved with the Bears, the hosting games at NSO push is still there no matter the host location, none of that has changed.

Billy talks about Perth multiple times in that interview. It’s not like they haven’t backed down on their push for ‘two games at NSO’, it’s in their recent release on their own website. Billy just let the mask slip for a moment - if they can get some games at NSO over the line as part of the bid, they can look at having more because it’ll apparently be such a financial bonanza.

Stop trying to legitimise old sources.
The environment has changed since that interview

One out of ten

 

[Bukowski]

I think 'bring back the bears' is a nice idea much like PNG. But the closer you look at it the worse it looks.

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.

 

[Vlad59]

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.

He’s literally written thousands and thousands of posts attacking the existence of the Storm and the idea of a Perth team. Good luck rationalising with him.

 

[Canard]

I'd have them in this round. Rightly or wrongly time will tell, Then NRL is hoping PNG, Vegas and NZ x 2 will help get Amazon, Netflix etc to the table for TV.

Brisbane Easts would get the local TV execs hard but at some stage that will peak here.

Time will tell if this approach was better.

It's insane that you think PNG will appeal to Amazon.

Christchurch will barely register, but PNG is just a nothing burger for any TV

 

[Canard]

The clubs just aren't going to support rapid expansion as the media is spruiking.

It's team 18 and then nothing for some time.

I see lots of salty Perth and sharks fans

email pvl he’s the person to direct the bitterness at !

Now lets break that down further.

WA has 2.6m. How many of those would be in the 13-16year old aged group that would need now for a start in 2028?

1% maybe. That gives you 26,000 kids.
You can probably wipe off atleast 50% of that for kids that aren't suitable or into sport.

leaves you with 13,000.

Now of that 13,000. RL is fighting with AFL, cricket, Basketball, soccer, hockey is pretty popular.

Given there are zero players in the system. You need to find 100 that are of a better standard then those across in the East.

The NSW System alone has 400 in just the Harold Matts comp. That is without QLD.

Those in NSW/QLD when their junior comps end in May. Go off and play schools games against each other.

Those in Perth have no meaningful games as there is no school program.

You expect that setup to get a new team into the top 8 regularly?

I never said they did, I said that is the reasoning.

Time will tell if it true or not

And there you have it.
Your blindness and tunnel vision has you cursed. Sorry to see that.

 

[Wb1234]

Clubs are whores

they will agree to anything if the price is right

 

[Canard]

I never said they did, I said that is the reasoning.

Time will tell if it true or not

Surely the main aim is growing the game, and expanding the player base, expanding fan base etc.

Appealing to Silicon Valley streamers is a "nice to have" but desperately unrealistic at this point of our games lifespan.

How many different ways of writing the same thing do you have to flog here before you convince yourself?

Stop shifting the goalposts, you asked for the source, you got it.

Billy Moore is still working with the Bears - https://www.northsydneybears.com.au/the-club/board-of-directors/

The push for NSO games is still there - https://www.northsydneybears.com.au/update-nrl-bid-june-2024/

Importantly, with a couple of games at North Sydney Oval and away games in the metro area, Bears fans would be able to attend up to nine games per year here in Sydney
