Perth will do alright question is. Who is going to play/sign in png? ?
The PNG national squad always does OK, plus the grassroots are already established. Plus, the entire country loves the game. I'd be more optimistic of PNG fielding a compettiive side over Perth.
Parramatta's SG ball side would beat the Perth bears.
thats a side of bunch of rejects, you would almost think BA was coaching the team.
they will do it hard for the next few years.
at least we all know parramatta won't get any more spoons for awhile.
Perth is better off raiding, the junior system and get some young talent.
With Mal's coaching Bears by 50+
The one they call the 'mini-bus'... (half-a-coach). LOL
