I'd like to see some actual promotion in Perth for the NRC and maybe a move to one of the well-appointed soccer grounds around town. It'd be fantastic if we could capitalise on the WSR interest and get some good crowds in.

Well, I've always wished that back in the 90s, rugby developed an NSL-style competition featuring the great clubs of the two Australian major premierships, plus expansion teams in regional and "minor-State" outposts. I wonder if we could get something like that, an ersatz version, this time...

Yeah that's right, I keep thinking of how successful the Bradby Shield is in Sri Lanka- circa 20,000 people for high school matches- but man, those games are entertaining. I hope we can bottle that. The Japanese Top-League is still a league where tries are scored from first phase, or the ball is...

Nah, bugger Judas Pocock! Bring back the WA boys: Curtis Rona, Chance Peni and the Hyphen-Petties! :D

And I also hope that my comments don't come across as Anti-Kiwitic. On some of the Perth web-fora I've incurred the ire of local Perthwees who've slandered me saying I didn't want NZ because I hate New Zealanders and I'm afraid of losing "cos u'r shut!" I'm looking at it from a long-term WA...

Would the Western Sydney Wanderers brand work if brought across to WSR? Would the homeground have to be Parra?

Well I do think that's valid point worth mentioning. We'd have to see in the long run. But then, some other questions come to mind: - Do we really need a deliberately stacked, top-heavy with talent Kiwi franchise, dominating the league in order for the Kiwis to shore up their future...

I hope they leave the Kiwis out of WSR, Perth has shown we can get crowds in, even with the horrible weather, without resorting to making a grab for the Perth Kiwis short-term crowd boosts. It'll be good for the Perth team's support base in the long-term.

Best game I've seen live in many years. Up there with the Boks test in 2004

Great fun last night. However, I will say that if the standard of teams involved in WSR next year is to be similar to the rep teams we've seen this year, then the Force may actually be able to ease off on high-priced signings and focus almost on a WA origin team scenario.

The design nerd in me, wants to know what the kits look like

Hopefully some integration of the NRC season into the next rounds of Force games; would be good to see some advertising

Now that's marketing! :D:D:D

I want them to play this song when the Wild Knights run onto the field! And repeat the chorus when they score tries!!!

Jeez that's a real damning point.

That's right, at least that's how it looks to a lot of people here. Add that to the situations cited in my post, and one can begin to understand why people in the west are so vitriolic.

Indeed, thank you for reinforcing my point.

I hate to be "THAT WA GUY" but there are some reasons why the folk over here were concerned that there really was some conspiracy to kill off WA rugby. These are some of the reasons, which are unrelated to the culling of the Force from Super Rugby, but they happened and therefore fuelled...

Wish we used a few more wet-weather tactics here and there.

It's a joke mate
