A team losing every game season after season is a shit look for the competition too.

They (allegedly) paid $20mill a few years back for a test match, origin, nines and a couple of nrl games.
*Under the terms of the final agreement over Perth, it is understood the WA government has committed to spend:
- $35 million on grassroots football over the next seven years;
- $25 million on content over the next five years; and
- nearly $6 million on helping with costs of the new side.
While the WA government will not pay a licence fee, a further $20 million will be committed to a Centre of Excellence with a promise that there will likely be an upgrade of their home ground - HBF Stadium.
This masthead understands that the ARL Commission will run the new Perth franchise for a minimum of five years before it becomes a member-based club.*
Some good detail here that I haven't seen in other articles. The most intriguing one to me is the 25 million dollars for content over 5 years.
Interesting what it could be for, assuming it would cover 2 origin games in that period plus a double header and game at hbf each year.
From memory they paid 5 million for an origin and double header for 1 year a while back which would leave a lot of value to be recouped in other content to reach 25 million. Could they get magic round one year or something similar. Maybe just some more double headers and games at hbf until 2027?
can someone post full article? What are some clubs furious about?

He seemed to do a pretty good job building the Parra squad from bottom of table to a grand final? Yeh he isnt mr personality but then not many coaches are! As long as we go with someone who is experienced and has a track record of being able to build a team then that will be fine for our first few years.

Clubs offered $500k sweetener to get Perth NRL team over the line
Rugby league’s governing body has agreed to a revised bid to revive the North Sydney Bears as the NRL’s 19th team, in Perth, from 2027. But the other clubs need to sign off.www.afr.com
Yeh Ive noticed that. Either they think they can knock Malaga up quick, but seems unlikely given the site works for the whole precinct needed, or they just arent mentioning it and have hidden it away in the Ken Allen field project funding thats been committed to Freo council. Given the sensitivity around total spend on this wouldn’t surprise me if it’s just been secreted away. Or they could have come up with a different temp option and be hiring somewhere I suppose?
Sounds like it was $500k for Perth entry plus 500k they will get regardless due to financial performance I. 2024 (which is a built in license agreement)
You can bet your bippi once we get to 20 teams , there will be 2 Conferences. Sir Peter the Spartan has hinted as such.
Brad Arthur strikes me as a Brian Smith-ish "turn around" coach - the kinda coach who can lift a club from cellar to comfortably mid table/regular playoffs, BUT somehow can't instill the attitude to win in playoffs - especially Grand Finals.
Unless you are named Lachlan Galvin.
Barring some fortune or Devine intervention the chances of Perth being title contenders in the first 5-10 years are very slim. We need a coach that can install the right culture for the club from day one, have a vision for the clubs teams at all age groups and be strong in building pathways and who can get the very best out of avg players. History would suggest finishing above 13th in table for first couple of years is a win and getting into a top 8 position in first 5 years is a big achievement.
