WA BEARS

[Perth Red]

Are you referring to when the consortium was told to bid with a licence fee three times and still chose not to?

No im referring to when they were told the business case doesn’t stack up so they went back with a license fee and was still told not interested.

 

[Gobsmacked]

The arlc’s mandate is to grow the game across Australia at all levels. If they stuff this golden opportunity to grow the game in WA at no cost to them then yes it is a disaster.

That growth will just be redirected elsewhere mate.

Like the Broncos giving the go ahead for the Dolphins? Or McDonald's giving the go ahead for Hungry Jacks?

The last organisation on earth the NRL will be taking advice from in regards to another NZ team is the Warriors.

Yeah exactly right … just like the Broncos that managed to sabotage the Crushers and ensure that there wasn’t a second team there for decades after they should have …

who is currently pushing the NZ2 bid? Who is going to provide the money ?

Let it all out mate.
You can maybe do some copy and paste from your last melt down.

 

[Perth Red]

There’s no evidence that WA have offered anything like $300m.

There’s no evidence they haven’t and plenty of media speculation they have.

 

[Gobsmacked]

Yeah exactly what right … just like the Broncos that managed to sabotage the Crishers and ensure they didn’t get a second team there for decades after they should have …

who is coming recently pushing the NZ2 bid? Who is going to provide the money ?

Do some research mate, there's been 4 bids from NZ with substantial backing.

Which we’re all rejected mate ..,; they are “in the bin” to quote PVL..:

They got no money mate

Is there:

- Any Govt funding?
- Any private funding?
- Any junior pathways?

1 - No - Central Government is an austerity Government & local councils nationwide are grappling with infrastructure issues & have little space for non-core.

2 - I assume that would all be well detailed in the bid documents.

3 - There's local rugby league in Christchutch, plus a rugby union talent pool that could have some juniors swayed into rugby league if they have a local NRL club team to aspire to (and the age-grade teams under it).

The biggest hurdle IMO is the Government funding component, but anyone with an ounce of knowledge about NZ's current political situation will know that Government largesse is NOT happening in the current climate under a National/ACT/NZ First coalition.

However, the the big three things NZ 2 has going for it are the new stadium in Chrisrchurch (which will be unlike ANYTHING currently in the league), juniors, and a sporting culture that's rugby (union and league) oriented, that naturally understands both games.. and doesn't have AFL dominating in the winter months

lol broncos are owned by news ltd who were keen to get more ptv viewers in qlnd and agreed to allow the least impacting bid on the broncos on the proviso broncos were on fta less. No vested interest what so ever in letting in another brisbane club after decades of blocking it!

hungry jacks and maccas are not administered by the same company,

nrl wanted to base ong in cairns, cowboys said no way, nrl backed off.

what made them the “least impacting bid” ? Who were the Dolphins competing against ?

 

[Perth Red]

what made them the “least impacting bid” ? Who were the Dolphins competing against ?

Firehawks who would have been called brisbane, playing all games at suncorp and competing as a city based club directly with broncos.

Maybe they just got rejecting solely on the back of the lame name …

That was a terrible name, reminds me of netball

The Orcas are putting in hundreds of millions of dollars.

We all know that's bullshit.

I mean if it was remotely true than the ARLC is completely negligent in ignoring their bid

Why are you sure their bid has been ignored?
It can't all be a WA Bears circus.

Sure. Just like I advocate for the removal of the Manly Scum Eagles from the competition.

You’ve shown your true colours with this post though.

Just ignore him, even Manly hate Manly, look at how they have treated their own current club legend DCE.
