WA BEARS

[i0Nic]

I think if there's an announcement it's gotta be within January. Once we hit Feb it's all about the preseason and Vegas, there's too much going on to fit an announcement in.

If I was a betting man I'd say an announcement will be happen next week, which will also serve as a great lead into the media coverage for the pre season and Vegas generating more extended media coverage for the NRL.

rubbish that was only after red bears said it was done and posted it here. lol

Nope it hadn’t been made public here

And I wanted to test red to see if he was full of crap or not

Sadly for me he passed the test

So we only have to read another 600 meaningless posts in the mean time?

With things like the Australian Open in the news cycle wouldn't such an announcement get very little coverage though?

If the team is scheduled to come in 2027, they are already right up against it time wise. Thats less than two full seasons to get their shit together, and no you cant compare a new team in a non-RL state to the Dolphins lead time.

Surely its more like 2028 at the earliest now?

maybe february 7th that date is when norths were created in 1908.

 

[Perth Red]

I knew a deal/agreement had been done back in December and I tested Perth red and he knew all about it but hadn’t spilt the beans

He’s not totally clueless

It’s not as black n white as you portray it

dont waste your time Pie is a dck.
When its done and dusted I'll share who my source was, not that I need to justify anything. Either believe me or don't, no skin of my nose.
I told you all direct from my source after the Cook/Vlad meeting that he told me there was still a lot of hurdles to overcome, and here we are 4 weeks later still no announcement as those hurdles are being tackled.

Its pushing it unless the ARLC is already working in preparation on board members etc.
The Western Bears planned to be operational by end of October with board, CEO and coach in place. We'll be lucky to have the 'whatever' Bears with that in place by April you'd think even if announcement is made in next week or two. meaning less than 2 years lead in. Not ideal but NRL may just take the early pain or have a fastrack strategy, who knows.

only dck is a bloke who feels the needs to lie online about stuff because if he doesnt then what does he know? who cares if you dont know anything about west aussie bears, its no biggie. but to lie about having secret government agents as sources is beyond a joke. no shame in being a simple fan like rest of us cob.

 

[Dabbabi]

What hurdles are the ARLC & WA Gov working through at the moment?

I don't think clashing with the Australian Open is such a big deal.

for alls we know nrl could already have people buttered up for board positions including chair/ceo once its ready to go. the western bears looked like they didn't have enough cash to even be sustainable thats why they got rejection, so what were they intending to pay their staff in? monopoly money?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The announcement will come when it comes. You blokes are like kids who can't wait for Santa Claus to come.

There was issues about how much junior funding the wa govt would fund

Wa govt probably wants guarantees the team will remain in Perth

Apparently it’s all been sorted a month ago just getting documents drawn up and signed by the various parties who come back from holidays soon

Five bucks says Tony Crawford is on the board

Are you telling me that the various parties weren't working around the clock over Christmas sorting this out!!!

Obviously not true rugby league fans.

 

[Iamback]

Yes but it isn’t interesting.

neither are convos with your alt... yet here we are

 

[Iamback]

How dare public servants take Christmas off.
How dare the govt wait until an election campaign to announce this....
