You like shifting the goal posts don’t you

This has been covered many many times on this thread

Bears are integral to the bid
Not shifting any goal posts. You said there was a team in Perth before that didn't have a problem attracting players. So I said why do they need the Bears now to attract them.

Attracting adults possible.

kids to leave school or part timers with jobs in Sydney. No chance

link up increases the chance to get these and stay competitive

Not sure why the discussion? rightly or wrongly Vlad has made it clear that Perth has no choice but to accept a Bears partnership if it wants a club. Mind you way its going Vlad might be long gone by the time Perth gets a club anyway! Bring back the Pirates :)

There are reasons for that.

In theory it makes sense. Most of which there won't be a right or wrong until it happens.

As for the Pirates. The Bears push would be the clubs, Unless flights become really cheap then Bears will be preferred

Yes, numerous times and everywhere except the absolute desert areas.

Anything else Mr Nosey?
It just seems that you can’t understand why players would go to WA, I just had to ask.
Most players would be able to live normally out of the media spotlight as I have previously pointed out, if you are a keen surfer the place is packed with quality surf spots, the City is young, when we were over there the boys couldn’t believe the talent (females) over there, cheap housing etc, etc.
Great City for many young league players if you ask me.

Sydney has zero talent everywhere is a sausage fest

Going out at night is an awful experience

When we we had an SG ball side we would get 4-5 east coast Jnrs each year come over to join the program and have a shot at being in the NRL shop window. Adam Quinlan, Waca Blake and Curtis Rhona were all kids who came over for SG ball and went on to have professional careers. We've seen plenty of WA kids go the other way for a shot as well.
I'm not concerned if players will want to move to Perth to play NRL. beautiful laid back city with plenty going on, incredible weather, amazing nature and cheap (relatively) housing. NS partnership gives them the option of developing in our systems on the East coast closer to home until they are ready to join the West coast set up at a snr level. Has worked well for Melbourne in Qlnd.

That was a side that was losing by 60 most weeks, The aim is to get quality not East Coast cast offs
