WA BEARS

[Centy Coast]

Looking forward to the new Perth Bears logo, hopefully it's not shzzit.

I know that the Bears submitted a 21 page document to the ARLC earlier this week which featured a revised Bears logo, it should look good.

Actually … must admit I saw two of the shall we say older fans on the nine coverage at the NS Leagues Club shedding plenty of tears when Cook formally announced they were back … noticed the lady was wearing a life member badge .:. you would have to be a total arse wipe not be touched by that

 

[Perth Red]

What a day of celebrations in the East and the West. Bring on the mighty Perth Bears!

Shook Vlads and Abdos hand and thanked them for the club on behalf of all Perth bears fans. Still pinching myself it’s finally here! Time for a beer!

I hope you bowed in front of Vlad , stating how could I ever doubt your brilliance.
I hope you enjoy all types of beer warm, cold , dry , local , imported or craft. Just rip into it you Pommy B

Front page tomorrow …Cook refuses to release data on expected East Coast visitor numbers

Tell him to use the union calculator. Always a good stab in the dark and the naive always believe it.

Congrats to Perth and the Bears. It's bloody awesome to see Perth Reds and North Sydney Bears come back as Perth Bears. A fitting name. It acknowledges both sides to form as one.

And congratulations to all the fans here on LU, who are connected to this new club. Enjoy it today, and 2027 is not that far away.

Happy for you brother, and all the other WA league and Bears fans. Despite your pommy whining and negativity its great to see you get a team after all these years.

Cracked a beer for my grandpa who would be over the moon with this. I can't believe the Bears are back. The comment about the hype is true. I don't remember this buzz for the Dolphins or PNG. Titans had huge hype though to be fair.

I'll rock a Bears jersey to that first game in Sydney vs Manly. Just on the jersey stuff you have such a cool backlog for Perth fans with retro jerseys from 100 years + of Bears stuff plus you could also rock some retro reds stuff. You would hope the Bears would include some reds things in the total package as a nod to the fans in the west who also lost their team.

You would hope the NRL would let the Bears talk to players off contract now (Cobbo, Staggs, Will Kennedy etc). Let those guys find 1 year deals now but sign for 2027 like the Warriors etc could for 95. Who will be the next Sean Hoppe?!

New Perth Bears Forum required methinks

Do tell...

I really hope that is a throw away line to de-escalate Rugby. I can imagine that the Force would be keen as the writing is on the wall.

Already a red flag that the two sports are to share facilities ... they are direct competitors and should have nothing to do with each other. Bears should only be concerned about signing the best junior talent across both codes.

That idea surely won’t get off the ground, it’d need Rugby Australia approval.

“The deal with the Bears is that they’ll get at least one home game in Sydney,” V’landys said.

“We’ve honored the agreement with North Sydney and we’ll be mad to not have a game at North Sydney Oval because it’s historical and I think it’ll promote Perth more than any other team.”

Has anyone asked what “at least one home game in Sydney” means? Surely Cook has demanded a minimum number of WA home games?

 

[Gobsmacked]

Am I the only one not impressed with the idea of playing at an oval... a shit oval?
I think I could tolerate 1 trial there or a training and autograph session ..

DCE is said to be signing for 1 year at the chooks...

That was Ros Dare, she has been a Bears supporter for donkeys, she also volunteered her time as their merchandise person for many years.

 

[RedVee]

Congratulations Perth people and Bears people
