Message: [QUOTE="BruiserMk1, post: 3658195, member: 8872"] As someone who lives in Perth I'm excited by this prospect. I will always be a Broncos supporter, but to be able to get to more NRL games is a real plus for us rugby league die-hards over here. My main concern is how the roster is built and where it comes from. Unfortunately there is only 5 premier teams in Perth, with other competitions situated in the north west. The junior competition continues to grow with record numbers each year. I really hope like [USER=8770]@Wolfie[/USER] mentioned the NRL give the new franchise all the opportunities to grow the game at a grassroots level, especially important as it will be in a predominantly AFL state. The biased media, AFL fans have never helped our cause here in the west, the new franchise will have it's work cutout for them. There is also a strong union base, many are one eyed but a lot like both codes. There will be new fans of the franchise with others choosing the bears as their 2nd team. [/QUOTE]
