An increase in funds from $ 35 million to $ 50m from the Western Australian government is reported to have taken the FAB -based BAAR exclusivity with the Prime Minister and the Australian Rugby League (ARLC) commission agreeing on a deal on Wednesday.

The 19th proposed NRL team appeared dead and was buried a few weeks ago when Arlc rejected the WA government’s initial offer of $ 35 million, making an angry Prime Minister Wa Roger Cook fall to the state treatment like “a cash cow“

But quiet negotiations for the following period seem to have been fruitful, with Sydney Morning Herald reporting first that the parties reached a deal Wednesday morning.

Within the sources they told the newspaper that a meeting between a NRL club subcommittee was set up for Thursday, where the other 17 NRL clubs will have to sign in the agreement. The Rugby League of Player Association will also have to agree with the expansion proposal before signing a binding engagement by the WA and ARLC government.

Western bears would play from HBF Park updated and centrally located (rectangular stadium pertela), which currently shares tenants with super rugby pacific Western Force and A-League Glory. A ‘Center of Excellence’ of the $ 20 million Rugby League would also be built by the State Government in the Malaga Sports area as part of the agreement.

After sharing in discussions earlier this year, Bears Director Billy Moore told reporters He was “very hopeful, Western bears will not be dead.” It seems that his optimism was justified, with more details set today if Nrl clubs approve the expansion.
