why am I not surprised? Hopefully his son turns out to have more brains than his father!

Hoppa is total, utter, unadulterated pure scum.

Hope he ends up in Long Bay

Seems like a nice bloke. Bit of brown finger. Bit of bull boxing. Smashing people in the street.

trademark is my favourite club

ive spent many sat nights till early morning there

great spot

to be fair loads of guys that get rejected from that club wanna fight the bouncers

Trust me mate.

The bloke is an idiot.

What's he doing in that area anyway.I know his got a family to look after, but working in the Cross is a no no.

Mostly Tongans and Samoans on the doors up the Cross. Always been the same!!

I'm sure with his profile "good or bad or ugly" he could probably get a descent job in RL.Working in the Cross does not help his cause Especially when he has a family.

he's a thug who knows how to box. Bouncer in the cross is right up his street I would have thought!

Ummmmm not really JB

The thug bit is right

The 'knows how to box' bit is wrong

He has got about as much chance of being a successful boxer as Perth have of getting a place in the NRL anytime in the next ten years

Ouch!

WA is a nice place...but it should stick with AFL and leave the decent stuff to the east coast. It didnt work in 1997 or whenever it was..it wont work now.

Certainly not yet anyway...

haha, sorry to disappoint you Barrie but Perth won't be a place available for the Sharks to relocate to when they finally realise the people of Cronulla don't give a 5h1t about them! www.foxsports.com.au/league/pote ... 5973369004

Very good news there JB, I didn't realise their average crowd was so high.

hope it al goes well at perth...better expansion than crusaders or catalans....even quins is laughable...

Now then...

Could you imagine if SL had a club in a non heartland city of 2million with 15k fans, a 20k+ stadium and a jnr set up that was already producing 1st grade players? I think we'd be in by now!

Let's not get too excited. Brisbane is 2million+, Perth is closer to 1.5million.

actually its in the middle, around the 1.75million (and growing rapidly) mark as of now. (ps we are the WA Reds and will represent the entire population of 2.25million anyway) au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/br ... ain-perth/ www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/perth ... -rabo.html

If you look at table titled capital city you will see Perth's population for the metro region as 1.659 million. this is 18 months ago and is estimated to have grown by close to 90k in that time. Thanks for proving me right!

You mean the table I just quoted in my post? Those are the latest projections released by the ABS.

Like I said, Perth's population is closer to 1.5 million than it is to 2 million. Assuming that Perth has grown by 52K in '09-'10 that'd still put it at closer to 1.5 than 2 million. Don't really understand what there is to disagree with tbh.

those figures are from June 2009 (Australia's estimated resident population (ERP) reached 21.96 million at 30 June 2009) , 18 months ago. Growth has been higher in the last 18 months than in the previous 12 months. Still I guess you'd know best, what with you living in Perth and all
