The backers behind the Bears bid to return to the NRL have been carrying on for years how they have the money to get the Bears back into the comp, but then they try to low ball on the bid.

It's a shame because I was looking forward to the Bears re-entering the comp even if they weren't going to be the traditional North Sydney Bears anymore.

I wonder if Brisbane Tigers are going to try and pounce.

Particularly after he's had a suckle at that sweet, sweet government teat.

The last report on expansion that I saw basically said that Vlandys was disappointed with the financial aspect of all the bids, none of them met expectations.

The exception was the PNG bid, which of course has $600 million of tax payer cash attached to it courtesy of the Albo Government

So Vlando's comment was “All I will say their bid is extremely short. I will have more talks with the WA government, but not necessarily the current consortium.”

He's going after more tax payer dollars.
