Hopefully it gets announced mid january. I think Cook will spin the hbf park upgrade and RLHQ as much as, maybe even more. than getting an nrl club if announced pre election.
People here won’t be happy about the gov paying for a prof sports club, but announcing $400mill for jnr sport and hbf park will be an easier political sell. Be interesting to see if the opposition use it in the election against him.

The license fee will be a political killer if they have actually paid it. Sports Infrastructure and jnr sport is a fair spend for state gov, giving a rich prof sport $20mill for a club license much less so. IF, and I don’t think they have, they have paid the license fee out of tax payers money that could bite them hard.

Wa govt have been a huge pain in the ass to deal with unlike the feds and png

They had no problems quickly sorting out a deal where a Melbourne afl club gets paid one million a game but giving money to a Perth nrl club is a so called no no


Based on that deal an nrl team is worth at least 12 million pa in funding from the state govt

40 rugby league players in Perth is going to be good for lawyers as well so that’s a positive.

“What makes the North Sydney Oval thing worse is that prominent NRL media is all behind it and encouraging it

There's a clip out there of NRL360 going "suburban rugby league, how good will it be, kids can sit in the fig tree, but they will play the majority of their games in Perth"

It honestly felt insulting https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1H95v1QR6B/


Anyone got that video lol

Cause they are AFL puppets
WA bitch Muppets
AFL is popular in WA. I know this because the peanut gallery provides regular updates.

It makes sense to outlay money for something that is popular.

Something, like funding an NRL team has far more risk. Therefore the WA government is making sure it is financially viable before committing.

Once the bears are confirmed he will disappear from this thread like he did png

Always on the wrong side of history

And a chip on the shoulder when it comes to rugby league

Bestest fan ever !!!

Remember when he was saying the bears were a dead club and would have nothing to do with this bid

They are alive and kicking !
