WA BEARS

[ThornlieBear]

TBH, the standard of the NRL is so shit that I barely watch it anymore.

Most people are too afraid of sticking their head above the parapet to admit it, but the six again and other associated rules have completely rooted the game. The NRL has gone from debatably the tightest competition in the world, to an ungovernable mess and the rules making refereeing oversight literally impossible.
The NRL is basically just an all flash, no substance, product for undiscerning consumers these days, and if we're being really honest the NRL is intentionally tailoring itself for specific demographics in NSW and Qld that I'm not a member of.

Wigan vs Leigh and Hull FC vs Leigh in round 1 and 4 of the Super League are comfortably the highest quality games of RL I've seen in years, which is quite an indictment on the state of the NRL IMO.

Shut down LU now. No one will ever out do this absolute dribble and lies.

And it is for NRL games. Other cubs use worse grounds.

Doesn’t mean new clubs should.

If you read my last post closely it's clear that I haven't given up on the Perth side yet either, but honestly, for both Perth and the sport's sake, I hope it falls through for the time being. Better to leave it and get it right in the future than knowingly push ahead with a bad situation just to get it done as quickly as possible. Perth doesn't need the NRL as much as the NRL needs Perth anyway, so be patient, the NRL will be back sooner or later, and hopefully with a better offer next titime.

I think you right here, it won't be till Vlandys is gone though.

Is Bear park suitable?

He admitted his not a rugby league fan and therefore has no place on this site.

He’s a jaded brumbies fan

He claims afl is bigger than league in Canberra.

And claimed the brumbies are averaging 15k

Total bs

Why did Cook pull the stadium money ..: was it the criticism from the AFL paper ?

Yes I would assume so, if that is correct.
It’s an easy cut to the overall funding and takes a $300mill plus committment to $100mill. That would be a much easier sell for him with wa public and if you have read that we were going to have to spend $300-500mill like some media reports had, but it turns out it was ‘only’ $100mill spend it makes him look good. Such is politics bs and the cost of not getting the deal done last year.
when scaffidi started talking up hbf park and comparing it to commbank in the election period I started to get worried about their commitment to a significant upgrade.

now the interesting question is how much of a deal breaker is it for nrl? If there is still $100mill on the table for a training centre for club, free stadium rental and grassroots is it enough?

Is Bear park suitable?

Depends on the goal posts. Wasn’t suitable for the Bears in 1997 but was fine for Souths in 2004, or Roosters during the SFS renos.

Who would vote for someone like that?

No that’s not enough.

 

[The Great Dane]

So why is he not tipping it in now?

All the Bears "insiders" where full of shit

They're not full of shit. They're just delusional.

The Bears really believe their own BS, and the noisy tard wing of the Bears fanbase eats it all up.

I've been saying it for decades now; the biggest thing holding the Bears back are the Bears themselves and the entitled f**kwit portion of the fanbase who're incapable of moving on from the past.

It's difficult to have any respect for them anymore when they've spent so long trying to steal other people's teams after spending decades whinging about having their own stolen. There's just a total lack of principles around the joint anymore.

You could’ve saved yourself a few paragraphs and just said “I don’t get it”.

Youre surprised at a politician not sticking to their word? lol what planet have you been living on?

then fine move on. Life goes on and another opportunity may present in years to come when we can have an actual WA club.

How many of these kids posing as Bears fans does this site need?

He’s a jaded brumbies fan

False.

False.

False.

Total bs

I agree, you're totally full of shit.

Misrepresentation and character assassination is all you've got. It's quite sad really.

There’s a certain irony to a Swans fan calling out other fans for liking a different code lol

Pot - kettle - black.

You’re on ignore now for spreading false information and lies.

Don't get what?

That the Bears are run and largely supported by disingenuous morons pining for glory days that were never that glorious to begin with?

Mate I lived it, the Bears have f**ked almost everything they've touched since 1995, and most of it was avoidable if they'd just set emotions and egos aside for a minute.

Whose team 18 ?

It was hilarious you thinking the nrl should still consider the Perth bid without any stadium upgrades

That stadium in chch just gets better every day

Where and when did I say I was surprised?
