Who do you support in WA Premier Grade?

With the commencement of the 2006 RugbyWA Premier Grade this weekend, let's see which Clubs have the support of TWF Members!
2006 sees a whole new look about the Premier Comp, firstly with the promotion of the Rockingham Club and secondly with the injection of talent from the Emirates Western Force playing squad and from Eastern Staters coming over to chase an opportunity to reach the Super 14 level.
This should prove to be the most fiercely fought season in Western Australian Rugby history so get behind your team or pick yourself one to support if you don't already have one because it's going to be on for young and old!!!

To help you out if you haven't decided on a Premier Club to support, here's the links to each Clubs' home page to have a bit of a read through and see which one you like ;)

Palmyra - a mates old man has plays there, Gary Mickle - bit of a legend to still be havng a hit at 60 or so (and no purple shorts in sight)

I have to admit that since leaving Scotland I have not followed any local rugby. I'm a bit ashamed to say that. My only excuse is that I used to have a few connections to clubs back then and it made it easier to go along and support.

I should really make an effort and get involved in a club, especially as my son is looking more and more like front row material. I guess West Subiaco is my local club, anybody got info on them, where they are based etc.

Specially for you TEF ;) : Wests Subiaco: www.wests.subiaco.rugbynet.com.au
Good to see you condeming your son to a life of "pigging" at such a young age...poor bugger!!!

Gary is still playing? Great news. I used to sail with Gary at South of Perth Yacht club quite a few years ago. One of the nicest guys you would every meet. :D

No! That was meant to read "a **mates** old man plays there" dyslexic keyboard :S

I know he was still playing 3rd a couple years back, not sure where he stands now. Didn't he get well over 500 1st grade caps? Highest in Australia (World??) I'll get the details I can next time I catch up with my buddy, but any Palmyras peoples here wanna fill in the blanks ?

Hey I can't vote - whats going on? More likely what am I ballsing up

Anyway I'm a Kalamunda Man - Go you Bulls

Not far from where I live I just wandered down one training session a few years back and was welcomed into the club.

They used to be a bit up and down off the field but they seem to have there act together now. Good committee, great volunteers, rapidly expanding junior base and a great 1st grade coach.

Clubs changing its attitude as well. It used to be lets have a game of rugby then really party on, its now lets have a great game first then think about the party.

No pretentions - what you see is what you get.

Come on crew, we're in the season now, who's your local Club?
You don't have to comment, just pick your Club and let us know where all of our members are coming from :cheers:

I can't believe this

You all call yourselves rugby supporters but only 11 follow a local rugby club.

Support is about how you act, not what you say you do!!!

Looks like the force supporters maybe a bit similar to the eagles membership base.

perhaps the rest of the supporters are too busy out supporting/playing to spend time on here?

I've just realised that there really isnlt any way to say that without coming off sounding like I'm having a dig.

let me try again - as word spreads among the wider rugby community, hopefully we'll get a few more active active members ...
