WA BEARS

It’s a great choice of words because it’s true, none of the cash is going directly to the NRL.

$120m for the pathways programs & upgrades to facilities etc will instead be budgeted for in conjunction with the ARLC’s assistance to who gets what within the state.

$200m stadium upgrade costs will be handled within the government department that manages that sort of thing.

Furthermore, it’s also true that the WA Gov aren’t funding any part of the NRL club. As mentioned ad nauseam here - it’s the NRL who will be directly funding the proposed club.

In election campaigns, sometimes the wording and explanation (or lack) of things is everything. Cook’s words in that article are all 100% true but had the journalist asked more in depth questions or poked a little deeper for information than it would have been harder for him to mince things.

interesting summary. totally agree, it would be arlc who look after states development of the game anyways. so cookie can say he isn't giving any cash to nrl while actually give some cash to arlc. dont think people who arent rugby league buffs are any the wiser to differentiate them.

That's why they are politicians lol They know what to say without saying anything they can be held to lol But hes only saad what theyve said all along. They wont fund a club directly or subsidise the NRL. Been pretty consistent on that for 2 years.

And cookie was worried talking about rugby league might be a negative for his election prospects

pollies being pollies lol. If it hadnt hit the media he wouldnt have apologised, and given WA has just become a base for American submarines it probably wasnt the wisest thing to say, even if we do all agree!

Vance wouldn’t have apologised if the roles were reversed …. Having said that …these days you can’t take the risk that our “allies” wont withdraw from the ANZUS treaty or something because they were offended …what a world we are living in …

Because Vance is a knob lol
and as you say Trump is a little man child who would put his country at risk if he felt offence personally. Sad times indeed for the USA, and the rest of us potentially.

Trump is messing up with Ukraine. Outside of that is the change we need. Just like we need the WA Bears in the NRL.

Ukraine and Europe want a full withdrawal from Russia, Ukraine into NATO and a weaponised border. Why would Russia do that without WW3? Its a impossible outcome or WW3. Meanwhile thousands more Ukrainians die.

Trump is right, Ukraine need to make concessions to stop the war. Trump is taking advantage of the situation to get resources. You don't think European nations won't want similar?

Supporting Ukraine is fine ... but what is the end game?

Yeh like Europe should have just handed Poland to Hitler. Sheesh. End game is Ukraine not being taken over by a foreign power leading to a possible cascade effect and European war.

I hit the streets with my clipboard and asked the general public “Do you think Vance is a knob?” 90% said yes.

You know, 90% of people on LU think you’re a knob. I haven’t yet jumped on the bandwagon. I’d like a Perth team, too.

But…

You’ve been waiting 20 years for a team over there, yet can’t wait less than a week for real life to pay off?


Sometimes clever people will bluff beyond what the stupid people are willing to call, in order to get what they wanted originally.
