Leagues messiah turns out to be nothing more than a leach and a snake oil salesmen
The Western Australian government believes the NRL should never have severed ties with the Western Bears consortium that pitched for a franchise, as new details emerge about the latest Perth offer the NRL rejected.
The NRL is on the brink of walking away from talks to install a North Sydney Bears-affiliated team in 2027 after an offer from the WA government fell short of expectations. The development is poised to leave the Bears in limbo and result in the NRL going into negotiations for the next broadcast deal with a pitch for 18 teams rather than 19.
WA Premier Roger Cook accused the NRL of treating the state as a potential “cash cow” and claimed he needed to protect the interest of his constituents. The details of the deal he put forward to the NRL can now be revealed.
They included a commitment of $20 million election commitment to a centre of excellence at the Malaga Sports Precinct development, situated 13km from the Perth CBD. There was also a commitment to expedite works to establish a high-performance centre for the Western Force, with elements that included exclusive access for a NRL WA team.
There was also a commitment to invest up to $35 million over five years towards grassroots development, through the secondary school system and the Clontarf Foundation.
The government was also prepared to provide a game-day support package, akin to those given to other professional sporting associations.
However, the government never intended to enter into a joint-venture arrangement with the NRL, nor be involved in the day-to-day running of the club. The state government felt that the NRL should have continued to negotiate with a private consortium headed up by Cash Converters boss Peter Cummins. Those talks broke down after the bid team opted not to offer a license fee, at a time when Rugby League Central sought a figure of about $20 million.
“This week, we made an offer to support a potential NRL licence in WA,” Cook said in a statement provided to this masthead. “It was based upon support for grassroots development of the game, while protecting the interests of WA taxpayers.
“Given our location on the Indian Ocean rim and in the same time zone as 60 per cent of the world’s population, the strategic value of a Western Australian side should be self-evident to the NRL.
“Unfortunately, like some people from the east, the NRL only appears to see WA as a potential cash cow. I love rugby league, but as I said during the election, I will always do what’s right for WA.”
Earlier this week, Cook intimated that he wanted the Albanese government to chip in for a stadium in its bid to establish an NRL team. The federal government has already committed $600 million over a decade to fund a PNG team in the NRL from 2028, as part of soft diplomacy in the Pacific to combat the rise of China in the region.
However, further federal funding appears to be a moot point after the offer the state put to the NRL fell short of the mark.
It is the latest setback in head office’s bid to give Perth its own team since the Western Reds became a casualty of the Super League war almost three decades ago. The NRL rejected a private consortium headed up by Cash Converters boss Peter Cummins after it opted not to offer a licence fee. Rugby League Central had been seeking a figure of about $20 million at the time.
That led to the NRL negotiating directly with the WA government, which was recently re-elected. League officials were seeking an investment of about $120 million over the course of a decade for Perth to join the competition.
Should the price tag have been met, the plan was for the NRL to run the team in its foundation years before handing control to the club’s members and elected directors.
The WA government was to assist with pathways and infrastructure projects, including an upgrade of Perth’s HBF Stadium from a 22,500-seat venue to 27,000 seats.

while jews are trying to build a temple in Israel for the messiah to return, the Christians/Catholics are waiting for Jesus to return, the Muslim's waiting for prophet muhammad to return to save them! but you NRL fans thought V Landys was one, your messiah had finaly arrived! well sorry to say he didnt live up to the hype, he turned out to be a dud, a turkey and salesman that promised the world but sold em the snake oil, like a preacher on late night television who has actors pretend he can heal people legs!
whos to say those care bear, they are unwanted in NSW would be wanted in WA, forcing an unwanted team to another state and expecting them to be liked is like putting unwanted garbage in the neighbours bin as it smells to much in your own

there will be a team, PVL is just an arrogant idiot! even the WA government has come out where the issue is! the nrl wants everything, trading facilities, home base, grass roots funding, stadium up grades and running of the team. the WA government has come out and said yes to most of things except wanting responsibility, management and running of the team and have clearly stated where the issue is
the AFL works wth governments and puts there own money in to running and managing the team & accepts the responsibility the NRL does not!

true judging by reports, NRL has went hard and asked for alot.makingnrlfansgowacko wrote: Wed Apr 09, 2025 2:18 pmthere will be a team, PVL is just an arrogant idiot! even the WA government has come out where the issue is! the nrl wants everything, trading facilities, home base, grass roots funding, stadium up grades and running of the team. the WA government has come out and said yes to most of things except wanting responsibility, management and running of the team and have clearly stated where the issue is

but putting grassroots a side which WA have agreed to on a smaller scale.
asking for a Stadium Upgrade which does benefit 3 codes plus concerts.. is not too bad of an ask.
IN saying NRL probably went HIGH so they could meet half way..

its far deeper than stadium up grades. its something you NRL fans struggle to understand and just cry about the AFL, something that you NRL fans well especially the other 2, appear to not have the ability to understand!
