WA BEARS

[Mother Nature's Son]

PNG didn't matter though did it? It's all reliant on Government money and means nothing to Australians

I think you`ll find there will be a lot of Australian sports fans having a casual and otherwise interest in how this PNG team goes. Most Australians are well aware of the poverty and issues facing that country and will be interested to see how they fare in one of this country`s major sporting codes. Effectively they are a team representing that nation.
I remember a poster saying the fumbleball sites were buzzing after the announcement of the PNG NRL team, certainly far from all positive, but interested in the concept nonetheless.

They’re not though. As it currently stands, WA taxpayers are essentially paying for the codes infrastructure via pathways and development systems implemented both in school programs and junior footy clubs whilst also paying for the upgrade of local facilities and HBF stadium.

NRL are paying for the club.

Therefore the positive media spin will be that WA taxpayers are funding 1) junior sports (where the predominant funded code just so happens to be rugby league however the facilities won’t be purely for it alone) and 2) required upgrades to HBF where 3 local clubs in the shape of Glory, Force and Bears call home.

I know the facts. . You don't know how certain sections of the media work?
$500 mill for a NRL club. That's the headline.

The quicker people get onboard that the Bears are/will be Perth the better for everyone. Bears won’t be allowed to leave their new location. It’ll mean certain elimination from the NRL & no way ever of coming back. The club will be Perth focussed that has great away support from the hundred thousand of Bears fans there. Potential to be the biggest club in the NRL. I can’t wait, bring it on.

Cant wait to see what the membership packages might be.

I’d like to know the facts if you’re able to share them. Can’t wait.

What red and black said. My point is parts of the media will run with another storyline.

Oh sorry. I missed interpreted your post.

I know well and they’ll sell it as they sell it. Whoever wants to believe a headline alone without digging deeper to the core facts and truth, well you can’t help that.

But I believe they’ll spin this positively for as long as they can/want.

The people that said the nrl desperately needed a team in Perth sure are negative on how much media the team announcement will get in wa

Sound afraid that bc it will get more attention in Sydney that this will overshadow the media attention in wa

Nrl is Adelaide away from having the “national competition” this forum pined for for 20 years together with the bonus of two other nations as well

I can't see this sort of thing having much impact on a WA election.

I can't either but that is what Pollies do

NRL

Bears wont have direct rep on the board but Tony Crawford who the arl put on the board of north Sydney fc probably will

Will get some wa people and be interesting who else they get from Sydney

I know he lives in Newcastle and is old but John Quayle would be a good choice on the board

More important who the ceo and coach are

I think you're naive of you think all the Perth media will give this positive attention.

Will be very interesting to see how it gets announced. Will vlad fly to perth to do a joint media conference with Roger? Will Roger announce it on his own with the focus on stadium and jnr sport spending as red bear suggests? Will vlad announce it on his own as bears coming back? Going to be interesting to see.

It will be announced live from North Sydney oval with Billy Moore and Jason Taylor cutting the ribbon. There will be a performance by Shannon Noll.
