Triple M footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water. Triple M NRL Daily for Liquorland. Legendary. Choose to drink wise.
Here we go!
Unknown 0:13
The NRL is on Triple M. And we've got all the goss. Behind the scenes news on and off the field. From press conferences to inside the locker rooms. On Triple M, this is NRL Daily.
Anthony Maroon 0:34
G'day everybody, welcome to Triple M NRL Daily. Maroon is my name and the journalists are in today, of course, Reedy and Riccio. So it's all thanks to Liquorland.

What are the latest developments regarding the Perth Bears?

Anthony Maroon 0:43
Choose to drink wise. Just a quick reminder, you can give us a follow on Apple, Spotify, Listener or YouTube and leave us a review on Apple. Normally, my dear friend Chicka White would be here today, but he's otherwise occupied.
Paul Gallen 0:56
I think that's a junket. I think it's called a junket, isn't it?
Anthony Maroon 0:59
Mate, you know what? Like, about 10 years ago, he walked into this building, cheeky little turd, and he started having a fight with this woman, this other girl here, over a laptop. And I said, who is this kid? He just got here and he's fighting. Anyway, it turned out it was his sister, but he's just... Oh, hold on, hold on.
Paul Gallen 1:18
Are you accusing him of nepotism?
Anthony Maroon 1:20
Yeah.
Paul Gallen 1:20
This is dragons liking.
Anthony Maroon 1:22
He's greased his way up. Greased the wheels. Yeah. Good luck to him.
Paul Gallen 1:26
Hey, good to be here, Maroon. Yeah. It's great to see you, mate. Thanks, mate. Good to see you wearing your kid's shirts again, too.
Anthony Maroon 1:31
Yeah, like, you know, this is a bit loose, this one, probably, but, you know.
Paul Gallen 1:35
I imagine you're like Ron Burgundy, you know, 1001. Is that you?
Anthony Maroon 1:40
That's all I do. They call it the Broadbeach workout. Curls and bench. Yeah. That's it. But no, see, this one's broken.
Paul Gallen 1:47
Oh, wow.
Anthony Maroon 1:48
So it looks bigger than it actually is.
Paul Gallen 1:49
It looks like an apple. He's pointing to his bicep right now, everyone out there.
Anthony Maroon 1:53
Great work on Agenda Setters and NRL 360 last night. That was a good blow-up between Brace and Gal on Channel 9. I love Brace, guys, but I thought... Gal made so many wonderful points. I'm just going to throw a bomb in here and walk off and leave it with you. This Perth franchise were doomed the day they chained the North Sydney Bears to them. We know mergers don't work between clubs in the same city. And now this poor club... Surely they could have found the corporate support to do it on their own in Perth. There's so much coin in Perth. Then they get a coach. God bless him. We all love him. He hasn't coached an NRL side since 2001. And this is their starting point, Reedy. Wow.
Paul Gallen 2:43
You haven't missed them, have you? I'm a bit more positive than you are, Maroon. I'm not positive at all. I like the Bears alliance because I think it instantly gives them a supporter base. I think that's, particularly when they come to Sydney, I think the Bears supporters, North Sydney Bears supporters, deserve a team to support. And they've jumped behind the Perth Bears. So I actually don't have a problem with it. I think this merger may work.
David Riccio 3:05
I think if it wasn't for the bears, I'd have even more concerns. Okay. So just stay with me on that. If they were the Perth octopuses or the Perth- Octopi, is it? Octopi. Perth whatevers, we would dead set be going care factor zero. Well- I think the Bears are giving them a spotlight for us to hold on to, a platform. And do I have concerns? Absolutely. I've got concerns that Mal Meninga won't even get to the start line. I really do.
Paul Gallen 3:37
I don't think their merger with the Bears is the issue. It's going to be a massive problem down the track. Their issues are instability in the front office, concerns over where Mel's 100% in with his footy team because obviously he's lost a few of his key lieutenants. I think they're the issues. The Bears Alliance isn't a problem. What's the problem with the Bears Alliance?
Anthony Maroon 3:59
Let me tell you what the problem is. All right, we've got two merge sides at camp. They live in the same city virtually. Yeah. Okay, so if it's not a problem now, let's fast forward. Let's go three or four years down the track when somebody at the North Sydney Bears office who played for North back in 1992 is not getting his way and causing all sorts of dramas.
