NRL officials are privately fuming over a perceived attempt from the consortium to “low-ball” head office in the business proposal they recently submitted.
The NRL has informed the Western Australian government that they refuse to consider or work with the consortium behind the Western Bears bid in a major hurdle to the game’s expansion plans.
This masthead recently reported that colourful Sydney Kings part-owner Paul Smith and former NRL executive Paul Kind, who run Total Sport and Entertainment, were in secret negotiations with the consortium. Their inclusion as owners in the proposal blindsided the NRL. The NRL has been clear that a prerequisite for a team in Perth will be a link with the North Sydney Bears, and that won’t change under new negotiations with government.They have informed North Sydney officials that their decision to cut ties with the consortium will not impact on their hopes of returning to the competition, should a Perth team be introduced in the competition from as early as 2027.
