Took me ages to get them all into the wallet though. Real shame you can't do a bulk download.

Despite having renewed my membership for 2023 months ago, this seems to be yet another "member" email that I haven't received! I wasn't on the...

Great to see they can be added to your digital wallet this year. Much easier than printing out. When logging into your account the menu option...

.......Did a little double take when reading a comment in the SMH today from "The Lone Haranguer". 😇

Great. I thought you'd gone full septic on us for a while there ;)

Ok, I didn't state it directly, but that was the strong implication I was trying to deliver

I generally get my Fairfax Rugby & NRL stories on the WA Today site as well as local/international news. Don't really look for local BBL or AFL...

Given the amount of news.com.au content that comes straight from Reddit I think a journalism qualification takes 5 minutes these days.

Understand about the Eastern States, website clicks and so on. Don't need to study journalism to get a job at The West do you?

Paywalls on main stream media websites don't help either - one of the reasons the AFL, NRL and Cricket Australia invested heavily in their websites...

Print media is certainly going out the door but they do have websites and there's not much Force news on any of them either here or the E States.

Print media is dying and The West is the propaganda arm of the West Coast Eagles. Good on the Force for doing what the other codes have been...

Thanks for the update. I tend not to use social media that much and what I have seen tends to be huff and puff stuff. I'd like to see some actual...

We are now less than four weeks to kick-off and I have hardly seen or read any news or player stuff. The Worst obviously has no interest since Nick...

Nice in theory, but they can encourage tacklers to do whatever they like. Ball carriers will be equally encouraged to make it as difficult as...

In order to avoid head clashes with knees/hips, tacklers will be encouraged to tackle side-on with their head behind the ball carrier's body. Surely...

Apparently it's not inevitable any more. A Nadia Comenici-like backflip. 10-out-of-10. :) ‘Not inevitable’: World Rugby boss backtracks on tackle...

Exactly - If you get your head position wrong for the tackle: knee to head or hip bone to head is a very real possibility.

I'm not convinced that moving the tackler's head to level with the ball carrier's hips/knees is going to reduce those concussions, though

I wonder whether changing tackle height might do that automatically.High tackle height seems do have two expected payoffs, wrapping up the ball, and...

Inevitable. I think some balance could be struck by removing an incentive for the ball carriers to lower going into contact. Perhaps remove the...
