The bears offer a scary logo and the chance to play at a picturesque oval.

And the wisdom of Billy Moore.

Well no junior numbers are irrelevant because it counts kids u10 which don't help NRL teams. The amount of schools playing was the info I was after.

Not to mention the raft of incomplete results on the Play RL website. In particular the u15's age group which is where the Harold Matts players would come from.

Hell that website has nothing below u13's.

U13's has 10 teams
U15's has 5 teams

For example a google search came up with this.

Dated from 2020 and not current,

Not exactly enough information to show that Perth alone will be able to compete with the other 17 sides in that regard.

So google doesn't have all the info, As I don't live in Perth.

I am also of the opinion that the new team needs to partner with an East coast club.

I assumed those who were against that had information to go with that... I should of known better on this place

So Captain Google concludes Perth needs a NSW nursemaid to cuddle them into the NRL. Whodathunk? Give it up you silly twat. Your agenda is blatant and you are boring.

Perth aren't in a position to dictate terms. Neither are there Bears.

If Vlandys want the Perth Bears, it will be the Perth Bears.

If Vlandys doesn't want to give the Perth Whatevers a team because a new franchise is too risky, then there's no Perth team.

And if Perth are too stubborn, it wouldn't surprise me if we end up with the New Zealand Bears instead.

And you know this how? the only quote we have from the man himself literally said perth isn’t conditional on a partnership with the bears.

I know you and others want to put your head in the sand about the risks - happy to rightfully point out the ones in NZ 2 and PNG mind you.

If the franchise is seen as too risky then it doesn't happen. There is Brisbane 3 if they need to even up the comp.

Perth, PNG and NZ 2 are better longer term but none are must picks no matter what

Depends how determined the Perth bid is to go it alone really

Nope, I can see the challenges a Perth club would have. But that doesn’t alter the fact that Vlandys has said the opposite to what you’re claiming.

id suggest what ever the wa govt is offering is enough for the arlc to take the risk. Whatever they’ve offered has caused them to do a 180 backflip from a couple of years ago on Perths chances And has now elevated them to fave for club 18.

If anybody has their head in the sand it’s you captain google!

You are saying the Bears are in a position to dictate, in this post.

I took it as both working together. IF Perth can't convince the NRL they can go alone.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Only Wally Lewis can dictate terms.

Nailed it

Perth standalone has way more risk than png with 600 million backing or nz2

double standards from the Perth mob are glaring

I am not going to rank the risk levels of the bids BUT the Perth bid have been speaking to the NRL.

It is up to them to convince the NRL they can standalone

Let's see, 1 bid has the following risks, among others

High risk of riots and players being murdered
Lack of infrastructure
Most fans being unable to afford to attend games
Inability to survive without handouts
Players unlikely to want to play there
Long travel times for 80% of opponents

The other has the following, among others

Long travel times for all opponents
Players unlikely to want to play there
May have too small a fanbase

Yep I can see how one of them has way more risk than the other.

I mean that's a take.

You would have to be a brain dead idiot to believe this, but you know that's why you're the forum idiot.
