I read it one of two ways. One he’s sabre rattling to get more money out of wa govt to support the game/club, or two the clubs have more recently told him they want money to agree to expansion and now he’s having to backtrack on the bid criteria to try and get that money to hand out.
good luck getting the nz bids to find more money by the sounds of what we heard of their funding models!

Im sure just bringing in one Team could be an option - PNG … gives them another game to sell.. the same outcome if they go to 19 , but cheaper

Does halftime count?!
Paul Gallen and Cameron Smith yakking away means we can partially zone out for a few minutes.
Totally agree, great game so far.
Damn V’Landys and Abdo, how many kick in the guts do Bears and WA league fans need.
Maybe this will lead to more North Sydney involvement $$$, if not the WA Govt may need to put their hands into their pockets $$$.

Or maybe they tell him to get fcked and let’s see him find two better options?

"But both provided a key update into expansion as bids are in doubt to expand the game.

“The financial aspect of the bids haven’t been sufficient,” said V’landys.

“They need to invest more, they haven’t invested enough.

“I think they’ve taken it for granted that they’d get a license.”

Given this was made right on GF eve with all the excitement this is an extremely odd time to make such an announcement.

And to make such a statement publicly tells me that negotiations must have reached an impasse, why else would come out and say such a thing. Not looking good I fear.
