Good article on preparation for the game against Melbourne Rising in Geelong.

Excellent interview from Van Humphries as we haven't heard much from the big bloke since he arrived in Perth in April this year.

Good mix for the Melb Rising game.
Hoping to see more from the Backs.
Some good options off the bench.

Alcock (hamstring) obviously being saved for Fiji Drua as he was looking good last week.

As an added incentive, the Horan-Little is up for grabs this weekend.

I think the Rebels will have the advantage in the backrow but we'll have it everywhere else. Unfortunately, games aren't won on paper. I've seen plenty of games between WA and Vic where the team that looks better on paper is embarrassed by their counterparts.

Thanks for the away win guys - Western Force 31:28 Melbourne Rising.

2nd place and Fiji Drua at home next week.
