Clandestine group. Unnamed businessmen (all male for some reason). Wanted talks with jets & bears - did that ever happen?! Everybody has come forward. Wonder if Perth group just media creation.
So despite the fact the consortium have been in the paper, despite the fact the dolphins ceo has been talking about how they are sharing info with the consortium, despite the fact the nrlwa boss has talked about the consortium numerous times, you still dont believe there is one? You are cooked lol

Who's CEO of Perth bid?! Backdoor Benny again?! One thing I know, when things kept secret it's because parties have nothing. Like secret wmd's in Iraq which turned to zilch.

I was wrong - Perth had 2nd lowest average attendance after mariners with 80 less fans a week. Nobody claiming mariners were dudded..

So why are ARL clubs excluded? And why are you suddenly talking about overall attendance rather than home when talking about how many people in Perth would watch the team?

Tigers
Eels
Panthers
Souths
Roosters
Dragons

should all be kicked out of the comp cause they couldn't even average higher attendance than a Perth team. Imagine not even being better than Perth? just abysmal...

Just showing the absolute zero relevance you have spammed these pages up with. What was true in 1995-1997 is not true in 2028-2035 when Perth may enter the comp.
You want to talk about cherry picking? How about you cherry picking one half of the game in a year when a war was raging as some sort of evidence about what will be a reality thirty years later. You're an idiot.

And since the redevelopment of hbf park to 20k they have averaged just under 15k or 75% capacity to nrl games even with some outliers due to weather. They have the crowd record there as well, higher than sports that play there permanently all while not having a home team.

Then you have to consider the appetite for nrl is so high the last 4 nrl games to be played in perth have drawn 83k and then add in 120k for 2 SOO games and there is no denying (other than trolling) the current viability of a perth club.

For comparison here are the last 4 crowds for topline rugby league matches in PNG: 14k, 7k, and 7k, the other 2 games were so low they didnt list a crowd.

All this before mentioning the strong corporate sales in perth versus whatever was mustered in PNG which we can infer would be next to nothing because the Aus government is having to underwrite the PNG bid.

And the 14k was buy 1 get 1 free.
