Round 8 Results

Perhaps request the TMO to investigate if there was anything unlawful associated with the HIA - which is all that the players were requesting.

16 Western Force/Fortescue Academy players involved in Round 8. Pleasing to see Henry Robertson getting another run with Wests Scarborough and Jake Strachan returning with Perth Bayswater.

They've been crafting some good wins.

Not for the last time - and you're entitled to your opinion - this is a forum after all. The buck stops at the top - with the bloke in charge of the game and who ignored the pleas from the WF players to have the TMO investigate the cause of the HIA on Strachan..

I hope than while visiting Perth, Angus Gardner gets the chance to catch up with Jake Strachan and explain why he, and the other match officials, did nothing about Swinton’s unlawful hit on him only 30 seconds into the game against the Tahs. An apology wouldn’t go astray. Swinton hasn’t played...

Very informative discussion with Jimmy Duffy - WF Forwards Coach - from The Rugby Wrap. Some commentary on Perth Club rugby, poor attendance at Super Rugby, RugbyAu Chairman not sticking to his lane.

Looking forward to the team running out in Blue on Friday. It's been a long time between drinks at home.

Of the 4 major codes in Australia ONLY Rugby Union does not provide attendance numbers in 2023 (and it was the same in 2022). If there is a problem then at least expose it. No promotion of the SRP (Super Rugby Pacific). Is it any wonder the Franchises and RAu are economic basket cases?? If the new RugbyAu CEO did...

Round 7 Results Tries to Reece Tapine (UWA); Tipene-Grace, Jhy Legg (Wests). 3/5 away wins

Why stop at Super Rugby? RA can seemingly gain no forward momentum without dropping the ball with no apparent efforts to grow the game at all levels. The talk is all about big ticket items such as the Lions Tour or the pending RWC on Oz. The professional game is in chaos when the commentary is...

Jackson's time will come as he's a good player. He's up against an 8 Test Wallaby at #8 (who's been in Perth for nearly a month) and Jackson can't play 7. Should he replace the captain Wells? I don't think so.

Liking the team selection for the game against Crusaders. Pleased that Simon Cron rewards effort. Good to see Santi back from injury. Go well Isi, Max and Niko. The latter two from the WTG- a great reward for effort which started in the loooong pre-season.

TOW - Round 6 Plenty of new faces with Luke Callan getting another mention.

I have about as much trust in Christy as I have in Georgina. Would not speak "off the record" to either!

Folau has been struggling with an Achilles problem. He's been doing a fantastic job assisting with the developmen of the young forward pack players. Well worth the $$s even if only for a year. Thanks Tattarang....

No excuses - just trying to presents the facts. Everyone seemed to acknowledge at the start of the season that the WF would only be as good as the starting XV as it had a young squad (av age <25yo) and lacking in depth. By the starting whistle against the Reds the WF had >30% of the initially...

That's because HBF was unavailable due to the upgrade for the Womens Soccer WC. It's why 3 games in a row in NZ and going back to play the Crusaders. Blame Events West and not SRP (Super Rugby Pacific).

Results - Round 6 4/5 Away wins. Good to see Kauri Grace kicking for Wests (3/4C, 1P) Try to Grason Makara

ToW - Round 5 Simon Cron, in a recent interview, said that he expected WF players to be clearly visible when playing in Club Rugby. Congratulations to all players for their efforts in Round 5. Well done Charlie Hancock (2 tries), Wilton Rebolo, Max Burey (Try, 3C, P) and Reece Tapine.
