WA BEARS

[Pippen94]

Id they'd announced in early October it would not be an election issue. 5 months is a long time for the public to move on to the next issue.

we shall see, lets hope so.

Don't worry. Really

Liberals and nationals are a mess, they’ve got no chance. I’m more worried about what cook feels he has to say now he’s backed in a corner and what impact that has for the club in the future.

if they are all so chummy with each other … maybe they should have got the deal worked out months ago ..

Maybe but winning an election and being head of a state is more important to a premier I guess, you know with it being his job and all. Whilst that is happening NRL have a lot more to focus on than just WA. Lots of moving parts.

Anyways take it for what you will. There’s reasons people request NDA’s during negotiations and in this instance it was to avoid the issue becoming an election one.

Toxic Bear has never been more certain of something since 2007 when the Bears came into the NRL instead of the Gold Coast.

PNG and Perth bid process have leaked like a sieve to News Ltd ….. and the NRL have been pretty arrogant throughout… they haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory … let’s hope the teams actually turn out better than the clown shows which have given birth to them

You make a good point, hard to argue.

NRL wasn't asking for $120 million fee from bidders. Is that real figure?!

It’s not a license fee in any sense. It’s money to support and help grow rugby league in the state via infrastructure upgrades for fields, facilities and to further develop junior pathways both in schools and in junior club level. That’s always been the case, nothing has changed.

Harsh

Pvl extracted significant concessions which govts didnt want to give

If png case if was 60 million bribes to clubs and players getting tax free status

In wa case its similar funding to what the Tasmanian govt is doing for its side

A few articles said 120 million license fee

Cool, few articles said Cumins consortium was fait accompli.

Interesting cook may have used term licence fee when denying number

 

[Bukowski]

The libs were always going to make noise about it so he was smart to leave it for after the election.
The only problem will be if he loses power, which is very unlikely.

I’m not concerned that cook doesn’t win, but I am worried with his strong comments basically saying the 200m for a stadium upgrade is farcical and it won’t happen. Is he going to backpedal on this? What’s he going to say in a couple months time when he’s saying right now that there’s no need for a hbf park upgrade at all.

Im just hoping the deal will be done including a significant stadium upgrade and he’ll focus on it being an upgrade for many sports and he’s done a deal to bring more rugby league (tests etc) and other sport events to Perth etc so it warrants an upgrade beyond the nrl team.
