WA BEARS

[ground zero]

Whats the Bears fetish wanting to give Manly a chance not to have to travel to Perth every year. Remember Northern Eagles. Yep Manly shat on that. Make Manly fly to Perth every year. Billy Moore. Silly Billy.

Glad to see that the original requirement to play 2x Premiership games at North Sydney Oval has become just 1x Premiership game in NSW, which can be at any venue (with NSO, AS & CC being the preferred)

At least now with the Westerm Bears able to pick any ground, they can at least make sure the token game is commercially viable and played in front of a decent sized crowd.

Looks like Peter Fitzsimmons

That’s a horrible thing to say regardless of the subject matter.

 

[Perth Red]

Gotta love how mr " I'll never follow the Bears " Perth Red now has a Bear as his avatar lol

If you got your head out of your arris you’d know I have said all along I’ll support it if set up right.

no more than one game at nso
Branding changed to represent perth
Perth owned
Club admin based in perth
investing in growing Perth talent.

so far, if the terrorgraph, is to believed most of them have now been agreed.

Am I the only one still disappointed that it appears one home premiership game in Sydney looks to be locked in (in addition to a pre-season game)?

One pre-season game, sure, no problem. I have zero issues with that. But a home premiership game as well? Being played in a market that has literally hundreds of games per year already being played? Nope. I don't like that.

As long as Perth don't have to give up a home game for Magic round or have to take a game to the bush, then they would be getting 11 Perth games regardless which will be the same (or more) than most of the league (and the same as the AFL sides and far more than the Farce)

No need to look for negatives in what is overridingly a positive move for the sport.

I don’t like it either …. But I think eventually got to move on…

Like it or not the North Sydney side of the venture is worth cultivating, the Bears had some blue-chip sponsors in the day and demographically it is a very wealthy area.
I know people like to mock these chardonnay-sipping supporters but frankly League doesn`t have enough of them.
So as we have seen with the Vegas venture there is nothing like playing for premiership points. So if we are going to cultivate this crowd a home game in full-Noth Sydney Bear`s regalia is probably not a bad way to start.

Classic Perth Red gaslighting. I didn't expect anything less.

Sydney is the biggest Rugby market on planet earth, pulling them along for the ride won't hurt!

He’s correct of course. He’s been very consistent from day 1. You of course just change basic things like your place of birth without even blinking an eye.

At least he can now shut up and stop bagging out the other clubs now that he has got his precious Perth team.

He will at least stop bagging the bears

 

[BuffaloRules]

He will at least stop bagging the bears

will he ? I dunno ..

gotta feeling the legacy Bears part of this team will get all of the blame and not much of the credit for what unfolds on and off the field …

Crowds will dictate if it continues though.

 

[jim_57]

Sounds all good. I wonder if this means norths in NSW Cup but flegg, ball etc from Perth and norths.

Could keep the NS pathways as is, then add Perth junior teams to Mal Meninga & Cyril Connell Cups in the QLD comps?

That's a good idea, covers a lot of areas.

 

[ground zero]

Adelaide Sharks are next. 18 Teams. Played at a stadium with no rentaloos.

 

[jim_57]

Souths first game back was about 36,000, surely new Allianz would sell out for the Bears

If they have to have a regular season game in Sydney I’d prefer Allianz and they try and fill the joint, at least while the novelty is still there. Could get involved with Eora round maybe.

A game in NSW should be on the condition that Perth never host Magic and get 11 games in WA which is in line with Melbourne, Auckland, Gold Coast etc. Perth might want to make sure they have a game at Optus that outdraws Allianz though or you’d never hear the end of it.

Optus outdrawing Allianz wouldn't be hard, you can fit the Roosters fanbase into a London phonebox.
