Mainly ain't Manly anymore

Im confused by the Perth Teddy Bears. They had all this money, big time backers financially, yet the NRL are making all the decisions and running the show..... Who actually owns the Bears in Perth??

The NRL do .....

The huge concern would be if Manly were to be defunct again and this time all the catchment area of talent will belong to the Perth Bears, since Rugby League is seldom played in WA anyway. Unfortunately it makes better commercial sense for the NRL.
My prediction would be that Penn eventually withdraws his investment from the club if he cant find a buyer and that would be the end of the Sea Eagles for good.

I don't think so, we're dragging in sellout crowds to every home game now. Don't think it will be to hard to attract another owner or owners.
