WA BEARS

I'm starting to question where you got your knighthood from.

The Bears being back absolutely is a bigger issue than RL expanding to WA. Not a knock on WA but if the geographic positioning of clubs mattered more than it does then the NRL would already be getting eaten alive by other codes.

Rugby League expanding to a non-RL state for the first time in almost 30 years is the good news story.

The Bears might add a bit of mustard on top of that, but if it wasn't the Bears it would still be the biggest story in the game since the Dolphins inclusion.

 

[Canard]

Wait until you find out the make up of the board.

The second part would need approval from the NRL, which won’t happen.

If the Bears have a significant stake in the club (say ~49%) that's an even better news story, as they will be financially contributing to the operation of the team.

This level of salt surely must be dangerous to the health ?

That must be why most headlines are reporting it as the Bears coming back instead of WA getting a team.

That’s what’s triggering him

 

[Matt_CBY]

Seems extremely logical.

If you ignore facts

 

[Matt_CBY]

Why would any new owners keep your parasite club when they demand everything and contribute nothing?

Another ignoring facts

PVL wins again.

if nrl will appoint a board i wonder if any norths board members potentially get a seat? if not i wonder how it will be made up.

if 6 seats then maybe 4 west aussie gov employee's or gov appointed, 1 norths employee and 1 nrl employee. that still keeps is majority west aussie, wouldn't be a bad make up to be honest

I always look the headlines of Sydney media to strategically grow the game nation wide.

Whats your definition of “Bears” in this context?

North Sydney?

Gotta expect that in the Sydney media

 

[Canard]

According to the article, the WA Govt wont be involved in the running of the team, or funding going forward.

They are putting in some contra to build stadia, COE etc.

Very good outcome really.

 

[Canard]

North Sydney?

Yes.

 

[Matt_CBY]

Yes.

We’ll have to wait and see what the breakdown of the board is like, won’t we

if resurrecting an old, mostly unsuccessful suburban club that hasn't been around for 25 years and has fans made up of mostly 55+ year old men is a huge issue then the sport is in big trouble....

That 55+ year old fan myth has been busted that many times it’s not funny

You wanted a Perth team to send a message to afl

Now there is one you are sooking about something else

 

[Matt_CBY]

Random thought

Manly should play home games against Perth at Allianz Stadium and play it as an event game. Attack it to a public holiday or something and sell it out.
