What's to hide?!
Not part of bid so cant answer. If I was to guess, and Ive told you this already, having been bitten before and made to look stupid they may be chosing to keep their cards close to their chest until NRL indicates if Perth is an option. There has been commentary to that effect by both Cumins and Puddy in recent years,

which is not the same as saying they dont want perth lol.
You have no idea the context of it. Maybe they were directly asked : 'Would you like to see another club in Brisbane?" In which case they would answer that.
If you can point me to anywhere any tv exec has been asked "do you want a club in perth?" and they have said its of no value to us then please share it. Otherwise you are adding 1+1 and coming up with an orange.

So all we can say is that they want more se qlds. Don't mention Perth with broadcasters again then.

If you can give me any quote from a tv exec saying they don't want perth then Illl agree. Until then your taking answers to questions about who they do want, ie SEQ as some bizarre indication of who they dont want. Id say they are probably quite neutral about Perth in all likelihood. Has some benefits and potential but not an easy win.
The only bid they want is Brisbane 3 or nz2 sky nz

everyone else relies on east coast viewers

You’ve been shown quotes from fox and nein many times
No, there has been quotes that they see value in more SEQ content, that is in no way shape or form evidence they dont value anything else, or would oppose it.
Like asking me if I like tomatoe sauce, I'll say yes, doesnt mean I dont like or want BBQ sauce lol

Again show me one quote where TV has said they dont value perth at all, or oppose a perth team coming in, just one will do.

yes I have, they've been posted numerous times lol. But as expasnion should be about many things that is only one consideration. Given FTA paid nothing for 5he last SEQ club and PTV is questionable how much cash they actually paid I wouldnt think its that big of a factor. The real value is in content and the ninth and tenth game, less so in location.

..so don't ever say they want Perth
or that they dont, which is what you were claiming.
Ive said all along the value of perth to tv is in a good game slot time, metro market reach which is where advertising spend is and in potential for new market audience. How much they value that neither you nor I have any idea.

Not at all, I can say I really want something but if I arent willing to pay for it then how much is my desire worth?

But thats irrelevant to the discussion you're chiming into. Pippen said Tv doesnt want Perth, hes finally come round to understanding that we dont know that.

You’re the worst mouthpiece for a Perth bid

I could do a job a million times better than you
