They are starting to get a little desperate now … bagging out their own pollster who tipped them to win the election ..just to try to find a very long stretch way to attack the NRL ..lol

As part of the agreement, the North Sydney Bears will relocate to WA and be known as the Perth Bears, with speculation former Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur will be announced as the coach.

Is there any news about what the pollster had to say that got them a bit upset ?

Should be interesting to see them asking questions of Cook and PVL tomorrow in the press conference … could be some fireworks …

Great news.
But excuse me if I wait for tomorrow’s announcement.

With NRLWA funding going from $1mill a year to $6mill a year (TBC) and the profile of an NRL club in the city you would certainly expect so.

Pvl getting all that extra funding for grassroots league in wa is a huge win eh ?

On top of giving them an nrl team

So 2027 OR 2028?

Some doubt over the starting time ?

$30mill. The Bid offer had nothing to do with what WA govt is offering, they were offering that anyway. The bid was offer was to pay for start up costs and license, which the NRl will now have to pay.

But f**k it, happy days!!

Hahaha
PR loves a drink!

@Perth Red some of us here have been pushing for your mate Peter Tinley to be part of the board. There’s other local WA candidates that have also been put forward.

As I stressed months ago - this is a WA club that will have competent WA people on the board. There will also be some Bears flavour on the board as well and you’ll need that in a competition that has its heart beat in the dog eat dog world that is the Sydney centric scene.

 

[wb2027]

I'm glad he wasn't treated like a cash cow, that way the only details in his announcement were to do with cash.

 

[Canard]

So whats the word on the official team name? Perth or Western Bears?

Whatever the name, this is a great result for RL and the only true expansion we've undertaken in almost 30 years!
