It's telling me that Perth is not ready for a pro NRL team

I've been to Perth a few times. Nice place.

But it costs the best part of $300 to fly there on a return trip from Sydney. So if you are the sort of person who likes to go to the footy with family... say a wife and a couple of kids... thats an expensive weekend when you factor in accommodation too.

At least travelling to Brizzy or Melbourne its only an hour or so on the plane and the flights arent much. You can even drive to both cities if you really want to. I wouldnt fancy crossing the Nullarbor in a car just to watch Perth v Cronulla though.


Perth in the NRL would be similar to London in the ESL. Great at first... big crowds... but they will soon die off after the novelty value has worn off.

And any casual supporters of any other NRL clubs wont go along to the game on a whim if they have nothing better to do. I've been bored before now and thought 'Nothing else to do... fancy a bit of a trip... I'll go and watch the game this arvo at the SFS'

I wouldnt say 'Bit of a loose end this arvo. Might drive to Perth. See you in about 2 weeks'

I wouldn't cross the street to watch Cronulla, never mind the Nullarbor!

haha, good attempt at a wind up though.
