ARL Commission Chairman Peter V'landys will consider a remarkable player-share agreement between the Perth Bears and Western Force to ensure the NRL's newest club becomes an instant hit.

Western Australia haven't had an NRL team since the demise of the Perth Reds in 1997, but that will all change when the Perth Bears are unleashed in 2027.
