WA Govt see value in NRL

[Perth Red]

Great to see the WA Govt getting behind RL and seeing the value in bringing NRL games to Perth. Bodes well for their support in the future when we have a team.

Have everything crossed we get this game, will sell out and be a classic I reckon!

Honestly I don't agree with moving that particular match but glad to see they've got the guts to go for it. Obviously they understand value of what getting an NRL team will mean.

More like they see the $'s, as the article says they can earn 4 times what they would earn at Brookie if the Govt plays ball. Can't blame them given their financial losses last year.

The fact that they're even equating a Rugby League match with $$$ is a good sign.
