The Entire History of the Most Dominant Club In the NRL! but!

[leeroy*NRL*]

Have to agree- NRL are going ahead in leaps in bounds it seems - I do think that AFL is doing better in non traditional markets of Sydney and Brisbane - than say, NRL is doing in Melbourne, South and West Australia. - but again, watch this space with a new team in Perth. V'Landy's should be offerred a shit load of cash to take over the AFL - god knows the current last few heads have been shit - AFLx anyone.

I stand by my statement that PERTH into terms of Crowds and Membership and tv ratings will be bigger than the Storm

SPORT is a business, i do not think PVL would go to the AFL money does talk i guess

AFL over pass 20 years, AFL has done a way better job in NSW AND QLD to vice versa what the NRL has done, that is 100%
on every level pretty much.

(things are changing though especially last couple of years.
with NRL targeting VICTORIA AND PERTH>> and the RISE OF NZ RUGBY LEAGUE>

I think Perth will do well initially - that is never the issue usually - it is long-term I think they may struggle - or that's where it has the potential to go wrong - or very right - they need to get the rusted on support for when the team does not go so well - Perth is somewhat like the gold coast - where we have seen teams struggle when doing poorly - and the population are bandwagon jumpers.

i dont think it will be easy, the PERTH BEARS CLUB will still need to be run very professionally to crack the market.

Just going off the stats
20,000 members signed in 5 days (and BEARS SHUT IT OFF) as these are for 1st in for ticketed seats at HBF PARK which only fits 20k
they are predicting a sell out every game
and BIG GAMES AT OPTUS> to reach very big numbers.
BEARS are expecting upwards of 40k members 1st season alone.
SPONSORSHIP at the Moment is at record levels. where there jersey is worth 6.5mill per season.
Grassroots bigger than Victoria.


this alone never happened to the STORM until 20 years later.

PERTH have beat STORM even before playing a game (in the stats) business sides of things

Yeah I think there will be a buzz - but remember - when you grow up watching one code it can take a whole - if at all- to appreciate or like the other as there is a tendency to compare the two when they are completely different. In saying that there are plenty of ex pats from South Africa and England to jump on board - plus it’s the new shiny thing - but shinny things lose their gloss after time/ but think they’re doing all the right things - and all they can- to ensure of getting a niche market long term. Maybe even more.

[leeroy*NRL*]

shall be interesting journey,
I like the BEARS CEO> they would want to keep him there long term.

Bears had to cap at 20k due to demand, as HBF park will only sit 20k

BEARS are expecting 35k to 40k members once opening membership to ticketed and at Optus Stadium in Perth Alone.
In NSW its really hard to know how much they will get
they will have option for NSW members to attend NSW games appartently.

TASMANIA will have no way near that number upon entry. 210k (Laughable)
be interesting to see what they can hit.

The Super League looks set to be saved, with an NRL financial package to bail out the cash-strapped English competition in a landmark deal.

Dwindling broadcast rights money and league-wide operating losses have left the code in dire straits in the UK, while rugby league in Australia goes from strength to strength.

And the NRL is prepared to lend a helping hand, with a $57 million rescue fund to result in the Australian league eventually owning a 50 per cent stake.
The Daily Telegraph revealed on Wednesday that Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V’landys will conduct a phone hook-up with his English Rugby League Commercial counterparts on Thursday night to ratify the deal.

Watch every game of the NRL Finals Series before the Grand Final LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1.

On the table for weeks, the offer will see the NRL pump $11.5 million per year into the Super League over a five-year period.

In return, they would take 10 per cent ownership of the league, increasing yearly by the same amount until becoming equal partners.

The offer was initially rejected by Super League clubs after the league initially confirmed an offer had been made in August, who believed the NRL’s offer was too low.

Leeds Rhinos chairman Paul Caddick has voiced concerns about being “swallowed up” by the bigger, wealthier NRL.

But with negotiations with English broadcaster Sky Sports dragging on and the current rights deal expiring at the end of the 2027 season and clubs’ losses mounting, the Australian offer has emerged as a crucial lifeline.
