WA BEARS

[ThornlieBear]

he has new hope that they are still negotiating…

Based on what though?

I see Perth Red didn’t respond to the question.

 

[Perth Red]

What was the $300m WA Government investment in Oct and what are they not getting now from them?

HBF upgrade

 

[Canard]

At the risk of adding to the conjecture, the following quote taken from The Wests article posting not long ago is the pertinent bit for me:

"Mr Cook said the league should have prioritised negotiations with a consortium of business owners.
It instead chose to switch its focus to the State Government after the AFL’s talks to expand into Tasmania"

Whos fingerprints do you see there ?

The Liberal Party.

 

[Perth Red]

The Liberal Party.

Vlandys opened the door, Libs just walked through it.

Oh my.

Huh ? How did he open the door ?

 

[Dragonwest]

Huh ? How did he open the door ?

Both parties were suppose to stay quite during the election run-in.

PVL leaked to the media potential costs ... the Liberal Party jumped on it as wasteful spending.

By NRL delaying the decision and making it an election issue. There was no commentary over here until the election loomed. Then the Libs and their newspaper jumped on the NRl media leaks to the Sydney papers.

Deal done in October its all over well before election made it a political football. They had the choice to accept the WB bid and the Wa govt support of it in October. They didnt, and here we are.

Just like happened in NSW regarding Stadia at the State Election.

I'm sure people will blame "the AFL" for that though.

FMD …another one !

I’ve been critical re PVL about a lot of things …but that’s not one of them ..

He didn’t leak it to the media during the election ! There was no new information in the article ..it was two journalists rehashing previously published info following PVL and Cooks meeting in Sydney in November …blame the journalists

 

[Perth Red]

Roger Cook on next.

And if the deal got leaked cookie wouldn’t have changed his mind once the libs put pressure on?

There is no reason to believe that if the deal had been done in October it would have changed 5 months later.
He was backed in a corner during the election and has had to come out looking like the deal isnt that much money and WA isnt being taken for a ride by the NRL.

You are deliberating lying now just like you have a hundred times before

Care to elaborate?

Not again …

Putting aside all the dick measuring its hugely disappointing that the NRL remains an East Coast only sport and that our only expansion outside QLD in 30 years is totally reliant on govt handouts.

 

[Dragonwest]

Nothing new ....
