The Actual 18th Team: Perth Bears

[Peter C]

Mate, I'm 73 years old .... and I have been hearing that complete bulldust about not enough players for 73 of those years ... and yet every year at least 30 new players debut ... and at least 10 of those are tagged future super stars of the game,

You're right Woodsie, but they all want to go to the farking Roosters

Good memory if 6 month old woodsie remembers hearing that as opposed to sitting there dribbling and pooping yourself.

Though at 73 I'm guessing that's also what happens now!

That's fair.



Though it's been awhile since I lol'ed at one of my own posts. Maybe being a part of it can give one solace?
No, I didn't think so.

North Sydney Oval needs an upgrade to host NRL games. The mayor wants to make it happen

Excitement is building about the prospect of the Bears returning to their spiritual home, but the venue needs at least $10m worth of work to bring it up to NRL standard.

The Perth Bears having 1 home game at North Sydney Oval every year will most likely be locked in to be against Manly. This would effectively mean that we would never need to travel to Perth. Not a bad result. I would imagine we'd get a pretty good fan turn out too. Looking forward to the old rivalry making a come back

The Bears will need to be successful from the start so expect even more home town decisions than is normal in the NRL.

Mal Meninga is the latest rugby league great to put his hand up to take on the position as the inaugural head coach of the Perth Bears.

The Australian Rugby League Commission has announced the appointment of Anthony De Ceglie as the CEO of the Perth Bears.

The highly experienced and credentialled De Ceglie, who until recently was Director of News and Current Affairs at Seven West Media, brings a wealth of executive leadership experience and a history of business innovation. Mr De Ceglie was previously the Editor-In-Chief of the West Australian newspaper.

Looks like a strategic appointment in the WA media war ...

The Wallabies star eyeing off code switch to Perth Bears

With less than six months until they can start signing players, a Wallabies star with North Sydney Bears links could be one of the new Perth NRL team’s first recruits.

It's true that WA deserve their own team and one that's not affiliated with a relic of the past.
I would be happy to help try to split the supporter base of this new WA NRL franchise into factions to create a division between their Perth based supporters & North Sydney Bears supporters. North Sydney supporters too big for their boots already.
Ideas welcome.

Far Eastern Transvaalians. With an even stronger Indian Ocean whinging pommy bastard element.

But the footy side may want to join the club. Will they get a discount and will that form part oi their cap

 

[TJ55]

Lets be honest this has nothing to do with Perth its all about North Sydney, i can see this venture fizzling out and Bears fans will be crying..yet again

Well in their statement they asked people not to sign up if they were looking for an nrl team. So guessing like most of us they don’t like the north sydney bears either
