I've had Wests supporters try to talk to me (a Bears supporter) like they think they have empathy because the same thing happened to them. It wasn't the same at all for Wests.

Perth bears is way better than northern eagles

 

[AlwaysGreen]

They're both shit ideas.

 

[SirPies&Beers]

They're both shit ideas.

yeah but a shit redundant dude like yourself doesn’t know good ideas from his butthole so your opinion means nothing here alwaysjealous

As I mentioned …expect something on April 1

 

[Wb1234]

Pretty good way to start the season with 2 new teams added and hopefully Vegas sells out

Bears returning will get a lot of positive media

From the company who started super league and ultimately got them kicked out in the first place.

But all is good in peanut land.

You really want peanut to take off, don't you?

That’s a bit in salting

You talk sense most of the time so you're not a member.

Happy to make you an honorary member.

News Ltd killed off Perth and the bears

Yet they are only making a big deal about the return of one of those

What happened to the “vision” ?!?!

John robot would be rolling around in his grave

I believe rolling was one of his robotic functions.

Fan disinterest killed Perth. If club was making money reds would still be around.

I just find it weird they would kill off Perth and then go and move their players (plus Hunter mariners) to the storm and then keep a dud club like Cronulla in the nrl

What if they’d chosen to back Perth instead of Melbourne. Thatone hundred million they pumped into the storm would’ve turned things around

They must’ve known stuff about Perth they didn’t make public

At the time Cronulla ranked 5th overall so they were very safe.

On paper it made more sense consolidating two expansion sides, one that was bleeding money in travel costs and the other that was only born out of SL not being able to secure the Knights, into an expansion area like Melbourne who were long overdue.

Still flaming?
In their final year disinterest in Perth was so low they outdrew Wests, Souths, Illawarra, St George, Hunter, south Queensland and Penrith.

The ranking criteria was a bust

Cronulla have been broke until a few years ago losing millions pa

Think they included news Ltd grants as part of their revenue whilst for arl clubs they got assessed without these grants

Other than going to super league Cronulla offered nothing to the nrl

Not over clubs like Gold Coast crushers Perth Souths or central coast bears

Storm were losing many millions pa for decades till they became profitable recently

We’ve ended up with a solid club in Melb now that’s a good thing
