Did dimwit read the article?

The bears influence on this is going to be f**k all and he's prancing out bears' jerseys.

“Abdo pointed out in his email that they hoped to have the process finalised by the end of the season”

so all 3 teams should be known by the end of the year

Perth (provided somebody stumps money)
PNG
Nz2

Easts Brisbane will take a place if Perth can't raise the funds.

This is crazy - everybody knows jets are green, white & gold!

But it might clash with the royal blue with white and green trim Sydney away strip

30 million that’s a bathroom in Cremone point

or half the Perth cbd

You’ve triggered him.

And once again we see why

CC Bears should be the #1 bid and
Ipswich Jets(Green, white and blue) #2 bid

De-merge Balmain & Wests #3 bid

Doesn't add a 2nd NZ team, though - unless one of Balmain or Wests relocates across the ditch. South Island Tigers? NZ Magpies?

Expansion bombshell: Bears non-negotiables no more after they had no chance of getting a team with ridiculous demands.

The Bears dropped their non negotiables months ago if any of you dopes would listen.

I thought I’d read that somewhere.

So no logo, no colours and no game at NSO.


If so what's the point?

I'm pretty sure they'll keep the Bears name and colours with a splash of yellow. Everyone is freaking out about this, but in reality it's a smart move. Regardless there will be a Sydney and even a small Brisbane fan base that will travel around locally for away games, which both Titans and Dolphins don't have. So I think all the people who are having a hizzy fit should just chill the frack down. This is good for the game.

Dont need to add team in these locations

Just have teams use these regions as junior feeders

And in return play a NRL game and a trial there

Rotate SOO with Perth and Adelaide

Bring back the 9s for Christchurch

Just throw in some local government funding to buy a home game

They dont need a spash of yellow

Perth wore red & black for many years

I'm eager to learn what type of match will be hosted at NSO (preseason or regular season), because Western Australians are about to pick up the tab of likely over $200million for a new Western Stand at HBF Park and a Club HQ / Training facility. Much more than The Bears are worth.

Same said choosing the dolphins was a mistake and they would fail

Yes because the Perth bears will own hbf park lmao

The Reds always had some Yellow/Gold on their ARL and Superleague jerseys. Maybe you're thinking of the Wildcats (post '94)

OK, setting aside the positives that a NZ rivalry would bring to the NRL.. de-merge the Tigers to effectively give Sydney one MORE NRL team? Not gonna happen.
