The Penrith project - applies to WT too

People need to get over this relocation crap, it only every reared its ugly head via Elias. The grub had his fingers in the Rozelle debacle, then once it fell apart obviously put feelers out to WA to make sure he kept his scum fingers in the pie and hit the media up to try and float it. In essence its a proposal pushed by a nuffy that is continually regurgitated in the media by outlets not known for substance.

Apart from Backdoor Benny (think about that widely accepted nickname for a minute) and the rotten seed he planted, where else has the relocation rhetoric come from? Nowhere, its always WA.

If I remember correctly, part of the NRL deal regarding the mergers was that all merged clubs were impervious to relocation requests from the league. So unless you see Wests Group actively pursuing the move, drop the drivel, as its nothing talk.

Oh and Mac, a regrouped and cashed up Norths consortium floated a tender for a licence up the central coast yet were beaten by the Gold Coast. They havent gone away, and will be actively pursuing inclusion in the next expansion window.

Exactly, and in regard to the relocation rumour that keeps appearing lately, there is no hard evidence that this is being considered, and no reliable sources whatsoever. And as others have said here before, the premise for WA being a perfect fit for a Wests Tigers relocation is because we have 'Wests' in our name, and WA is West.. I see the logic :unamused:

This has nothing to do about re location - it is about having a positive plan for the future ala Penrith. The problem is at the moment we are in no mans land and while ever we stay with the current situation we will never become one of the powerhouse clubs of the NRL. Penrith has realised this and set the wheels in motion. If we do nothing as we have done for the past 15 years we will be left behind.
