WA BEARS

I agree but i also get the feeling that both parties know that if it doesn’t happen this time then it probably never will.

I can see a compromise coming between both parties.

We can only take someone out and pay for dinner and have a dance so many times before you seal the deal or move onto the next person.

Let's hope this ends well for all parties and we can then all start arguing about team 20.

Way beyond believing anything until its officially released anymore. It is getting to D day it feels though.

Taken so flipping long. .Has the final decision gone to the Bunker for the go ahead ?

 

[taste2taste]

No one wants this announced more than Lachlan Galvin.

It’s about the only thing that will get him off the front page.

Well he is contracted for this year and next technically. Then Galvin to Perth 2027 storyline?

Hopefully the Bunker stays well away as they would f#$k it up and make the wrong decision.

So one AFL club merge, and one relocate.

A total of two.

The reality is a announcement of this nature is going to be leaked to the media well before we hear it.

The fact that there is zero media about it suggests it's not close.

Have a listen to the RL Digest. A lot more merger and relocation talks were considered in the mid-late 90's.

Balmain to Melbourne
Balmain to Central Coast
Bulldogs & Parra
Bulldogs & Wests
Easts & St George

Western bulldogs playing out of a brand new 25k stadium in Liverpool would have been interesting.

I’m not sure that one was too seriously considered from my memory … because it was perceived as a take over of Wests by the Bulldogs…

Bit like the Dragons where the old Illawarra fans get to watch their socks run around every week now

Wests own 90 percent of the Tigers now

 

[blue bags]

Dragons used SCG for home ground for 2 years
I believe. Had big idea's in those days
To be a bigger Sydney club
I remember the eastern suburbs juniors
What was left of them. Combined with the dragons juniors.

 

[RedVee]

From memory, the talk was Wests - Dogs and Parra - Balmain.

Wests & Balmain circumvented those by getting together rather than being swallowed by the others.

I remember both Parramatta/Balmain and St George/Roosters trying to make things happen. Geez imagine the hatred for that possible Manly/Roosters team lol.
