Your forwards have been beaten up the last 2 weeks, don't make "backline excuses". Your pack is finally showing up for what they're really worth.

Big night for WA teams. Both rugga and AFL teams beat last years premiers.

Consolation try from Shipperley. At least we managed 3 tries this week, better than our single try effort last week. We also didn't have as many points put on us either.
The absolute worst thing to come out of this will be Waylon banging on about the Force all week now...

I sincerely hope that the powers to be in the ARU are taking note.
A 30 man squad with 5 EPS backups are just not going to cut it in the professional game.
We need to have the Provinces A team playing each other, and even a few OS games, at the start of the season at least. Expecting players to step up to Super Rugby from club rugby is a big ask. Some handle it but quite a few take a while to do it, especially the further along a season gets.
We need another tier.
We are not exposing players enough to a higher standard of Rugby.
Force played well, the Reds didn't. We made to many mistakes and paid the price. Force did their homework.

I think I was starting on this dead horse too after Force's 3 losses to open the season.

It's been a dead horse that I have been flogging for years.
Just think of the extra rugby up for watching! I say bring on another comp.

Well, they're not actually. No team is at the moment, I would say. Injuries are a universal problem. Reds "debits" are not the biggest problem (i.e backs) with the forwards getting bashed. The Tahs have the perennial problem of reasonable to good pack with average to poor backs, hampered by missing players like Mitchell and Turner. But not enough to make a real excuse of it.
Nobody has bragging rights here.

Well done boys!!!
I hope the reds can bounce back. It's bad for aus rugby.

I understand we are all coming off some very dissapointing losses and all upset. Its the blame game and I love to take it out in the tah's.
and for supporters that boo there own team, I didn't realise I was out of line. The week is over and it was fucken terrible except for the well played Force. And the reds are still in front of the tah's on the ladder so that's great.

Well played to the force. Really bought there A Game. Hope they can keep it up as I know all to well how it feels with a team with up and downs.

Well fellers, it's time to get out the overproof bundy and air it for next weekend.
If that's the best we can do against the Force (who played well, to their credit), we are going to get belted by the Brumbies next week.
For a team which was tipped to run 4th or 5th in the aussie conference this year, they have looked the best of the Aus teams so far.
Somehow it doesn't hurt as much as this sort of thing did back in 2007 or so...

Really happy with the way the boys played tonight and in particular the enthusiasm they showed in the tough stuff. That's where the game was won and lost I reckon. It's great to see a pack get stuck in like that and lay a great foundation for the backs to use.
It was just a relief to finally win one on the scoreboard where we also had good territory and amount of possession.
