James Bracey sees RED after Gal savages the Bears! | 100% Footy

I do have to say too, as a Perth Bears board member and a Perth Bears fan, I fear for what feels like an unofficial freeze on the player market at the moment while agents are looking.and wondering what's going to happen.I've loved hearing from Trent Robinson and Ivan Cleary, the authoritative figures in our game with so much experience, saying that they believe Perth needs, in some way, shape or form, with their pre -season now just a handful of months away, and their season starting next year, not in 2028, that they need some form of help.

My issue with the Perth Bears is, I'm not trying to have a go at you, but I don't see, you've done nothing.Have you seen?Have you seen?

Look at that list there, Gal.

Exactly, look at that list.And tell me that's nothing.Okay, okay, look at that list.So Tyrone Wishart's nothing.Nick Meaney's nothing.Liam Henry, Scott Sorensen.

Let me ask you a question.Premier League players are nothing?Which one of them blokes have you had on the TV?Jerome Leroy was all over.They play for other clubs at the moment, Gal.They can't.

When did you have them over?Jerome Leroy played for the West Indies.

But he didn't walk out in a P &G cheese polo and go, how good are the cheese?He walked out with Benji Marshall.Why did you not have...

None of them blokes have been publicised when they've signed...Well, the Bears can do that, but they can't, because they're contracted to other clubs.But the Bears need to do that.The Bears need to do something.Go and take them out on a beach over there, show them how good Perth is.Show something good about Perth.

You've done nothing.Perth's not another country.We all know you're doing something.It's in Australia.And you've done nothing.

What do you want them to do, other than... promote how good Perth is, promote how good going to Perth was for me. game is your only selling point unless you've got a player that isn'tcontracted to another club.

So you've got no way of marketing yourself.We're going off history at the moment.But that's got nothing to do with the Chiefs.

Why can't the Bears do that with all the players they've signed?

Well we can announce it but we can't get them talking about it.What do you want us to do?Why didn't you announce it?Why didn't you announce it publicly?

You want me to go and put a Perth Bears polo on Scott Sorensen and say come on mate?You can make no noise about it.

You're right here on TV every single week.

Promote what you've done in your club.I wear red and black undies on this show that no one knows about.In my opinion, you haven't done enough.

In my opinion, your club has not done enough.Turn it up.

Turn it up.

The proof's in the pudding.

The proof's in the pudding you have not done enough.I really, really, really want to know what your idea is.There's so many people out there that, oh, this is the problem, this is the problem.Come up with a solution.There's clearly a problem here.

And there's no doubt about that.The point is why the coaches were making no brace about competing right now with P &G, which I mean, take it or leave it, it's tax -free money.It's money that can change your life.That does make it exceptionally tricky for the Perth Bears to complete their roster because now players are saying, hold on a second, and we've all agreed on this panel tonight that the conversations changed over the week or so that Luiz agreed to go there.That does not make things easier for the Perth Bears and us as a game, we've decided to bring in the Perth Bears.And what the other two coaches that you alluded to have chimed in and said they need extra help, that conversation is worth at least delving into to make sure that they're a success when they come in, not an absolute flop.

And it's in the game's interest for them to succeed.I like this arguing with Gayle Fink.

This is so good!I can see why you like the opinion of this girl.Let's not forget, every club's also getting $4 million because the Chiefs come in.No one's complaining about getting the $4 million on top of it because the Chiefs are coming.We're all getting that too.Yeah but what's that got to do with the Perth Bears?

Well that's another event where the Perth Bears are also getting it.

Our situation at the moment.

The Perth Bears are also getting that too.

So you've just got your first lesson in club management.Don't argue with the media.Correct.Just let it go.Let it go.

I am positive that change will come and the right people are listening and hopefully, hopefully...Come on Bears!
