WA BEARS

[Perth Red]

Nah, it benefits the NRL by increasing viewership across Sydney TV audiences, also benefits those away Sydney crowds.
Add to that the overall sense that the game is healing from the SL war. Then of course WA benefits from the pathways in place and tapping into a rich 100 year history instead of being simply a pop up brand.

But sure besides all that..

No one in perth cares if NS have a hundred year old history lol. Sure adds 20-50k tv audience in Sydney and a few hundred to Sydney crowds I suppose. But let’s not pretend, vlAndy’s remains nsw myopic and cares more about getting a dead Sydney club back than he does a Perth club. Perth id just an opportunity because of govt cash, like png, not a growth strategy for the game.

Poor response

The original post asked what the bears bring to the bid

@Gobsmacked pointed our all the benefits both to the team itself and also the game of rugby league

Yeh but in W.A. you have Perth red and his mates as neighbours

In sure the png facility will be built on the beach with exclusive beach access for their players

Meanwhile the Perth boys will be holed up in an industrial area of Malaga

I know you're stupid but there's no need to show it at every opportunity.

That's not true. Look at the comments Politis has made about 20 teams. Pretty much speaks for NRL administration.
