Wonder if he’s had talks with bears people and hence only a one year deal
maybe they don't have the cash to splash for any longer right now but after 2026 can re-assess and offer more or this is to appease sua and keep him at storm with a shorter pap contract.

could be a similar situation to how roosters and angus went for a few years there. 1 year upgrades.

Dogs offered way more money and he brushed them

Possible, another reason they need it get the announcements out asap so they can start building the squad for 2027.

Wonder when they can start signing players

You would assume it’s right away

CEO, coach, players. In that order of singings you'd expect. Western Bears bid apparently had interviews lined up for the first two.

If PNG are coming in in 2028 then you'd hope they will allow them dispensation to negotiate with players off contract end of 2027 before the other clubs deadlines.

Pep Guardiola has only signed a one year extension with Man City. Does that mean he's lined up with the WA bears?
i know you're pulling the mickey but any player off contract end of 2026 would be looked at for a potential new club, if a new club comes in 2027.

it's not dumb to suggest there might be something however there still needs to be an official approval for the new club to actually come in first to even consider the above a genuine thought.

My secret sauce says Roger flew all the way to Sydney just to talk to V'landys at Peter's mansion at Mount Doom. He'll fly straight back home.

He's dropped every other state premier duty just to concentrate on the bears.

Possibly the first time the two big dogs have got together. It's getting closer...
wouldn't they have gotten together on multiple occasions over the last few years for matters? didn't pvl and co fly over to wa to meet with gov only a few weeks ago or so? or do you mean more as in to close the bid out and talk seriously?

I think he's allergic to flying West :) Cant say I've ever seen him at SOO or any NRL events here.

Rumoured but never confirmed. The WA Govt has had a working group led by Tinley, NRL working group led by Beattie. Them two would have met many times over the last 12 months.
