Can we swap for Seibold?

We better start recruiting players now. Contracted or not. Cause we have zero chance once they enter with the money that will be thrown around

And PNG the year after

**** the Bears

WA should have their own side

I'd say that too as I hate the fukers, but beating the Bears is always a great weekend. Almost as good as beating Parra and Storm.

The day the bears first play Manly at Brooky i will attend and wear an Eagles jersey
That will be a spectacle to witness

It will be hard to hate the Bears this time round but I’m sure I’ll find a way…

Want a bet??

Yeah I reckon I can step them up to most hated almost instantly. Bunch of whinging losers.

The way they’ve gone on, every year , for 26 years is ridiculous , might even hate them more than the Eels

DCE to the Perth Bears in 2027 via French Rugby League in 2026? Brad Arthur poaching some MWSE pathways players, perhaps? Turbo asking for a release to the Perth Bears as a marquee signing for 2027?

Perth should have never been dropped all those years ago, same with Adelaide.

I don’t think using the Bears name is going to help, those fans are long gone and would have been better off having a new name.

I disagree. Many of those ex fans have either lost most of their love for the sport or follow another team half-heartedly. I have several family members who are mad Bears supporters. They have never chosen another team to support and will be over the moon with this news.
