WA BEARS

[AlwaysGreen]

Forgot the most important bit - in a unanimous decision the board decided that only caramel Tim Tam's would be served at future AGMs.

 

[Bukowski]

Keep in mind some are “proposals” and others were explained in minor detail. Also need to reiterate that this is from Norths AGM. Chair speaking to members.

Perth Bears confirmed NRL ownership.

Perth Bears likely board make up explained. How many seats from NRL, WA & Norths.

Perth Bears likely future logo explained.

Perth Bears likely Norths financial input (if the request is approved then the % will surprise a few people here who have been critical of what Norths would offer financially).

Perth Bears proposed operational involvement %.

Reiterated and confirmation that there’s no chance this Perth franchise ever leaving or moving away from WA. It’s 100% WA.

I take it the name is Perth Bears. Much better than Western.
I'm more at ease with things if norths are putting dollars into the club. Previously it sounded like they were getting a free run.
Thanks for sharing

It will be up to NRL discretion to approve the request or not. Financial contribution ranges from a moderate % to a quite substantial %.

The key takeaway is that Norths do want to contribute financially.

You say that now.
I remember at the start of this process Norths were warned off from providing any ownership dollars and from having a board seat to match.

Warned off?

and what do norths want in return for this investment?

If I had to guess...
- Token board position "Heritage advisor etc.."
- Norths themed branding red and black
- One Sydney based home game on Heritage round. I would play Manly at the SFS on a Sunday. Would be another event game for the NRL and one I think the Perth Bears will do well out of financially. Also a pre season game at NSO.
- Aligning of junior and reserve grade with North Sydney with the eventual goal of replicating teams in WA.

I feel that is reasonable as it's no threat of the club ever moving back east. Will be always a WA based team with heritage links to NS. At work have a lot of WA clients and have always felt sympathetic to the Bears plight, so if it all comes to fruition I will get a basic membership to help out

People act like a statement like this is enshrined in the Constitution.

If the club pushes for it and NRL allow it, any club can move.

remember when you said you'd never support a norths relocation to the west?
I still have the od chuckle every time I see your little Bear avatar, fun times.

Mate, Norths are you... that's how this works.

That mention about bears potential financial involvement shows how much bs is said on this forum by people who just make stuff up who said this wasn’t happening

Why does anyone invest in an NRL team ?

 

[ThornlieBear]

I’m with Ricky Stuart after last weekend, that was horrible, I turned it over at halftime.
No team in the NRL would’ve over come that officiating display.

Hmm and nothing to do with the fact that Manly were playing...

 

[Wb1234]

and what do norths want in return for this investment?

The team is getting

1. Strong pathways of Sydney juniors which is under-utilised

2. Potential funding from Norths league

3. Stadium upgrade

4. Free rent for a year

5. Govt funding juniors in wa

Rather than whining maybe you should be thankful that Pvl has put together a bulletproof bid

Which is what you claimed you’ve wanted all along

"Why aren't Norths investing anything if it's their brand being used?"

Norths:
"We intend on investing"

"What do they want out of it!??"

C'mon mate.

Don't tease us like that.

Can you please expand on any the information regarding the Board make up and the logo in particular?

Be interesting to see what the contractual obligations are around the team staying in WA .. the NRL owns both the team and runs the competition… so these mightn’t be worth a lot at the end of the day …I would hope Cookie boy gets something squared away instead for his $300m investment..

Easy one is a penalty clause if the team moves the arl is liable for all wa costs

Pvl won’t want to lose his hotel empire lol
