    Come on now Ecky, that's just you refs fiddling with the facts as usual. Leave that to us journos please!

    Gee thanks. Yes, we have a new crop of imports this year. Including backs, God help us. Some of them are even coming to training.

    Absolutely correct. An appalling decision from a very unimpressive ref. Not that it made a lot of difference, the Farce scored shortly after anyway.

    And the goal kicking. Beyond woeful. And the tackling, abysmal. And the total lack of penetration and creativity -- like poorly programmed robots running on half charge, each player seemed to make a...

    Hopeless

    Who the hell would be a Force supporter? What a collection of slow, predictable, lethargic, error-ridden plodders. Even taking away the sterling efforts of the bent Japie muppet with the whistle,...

    (Pedantic journo's corner: I cannot tell you how furiously I grit my teeth when I see the noun 'cruel' abused as a verb. There is no such word as 'cruelled' and people who use it should have their...

    The TMO actually said that he couldn't be sure that the player's foot had gone into touch first, so the referee could award the try. It's in line with the "benefit of doubt to the attacking team"...

    And not least, one or two super 14 players aren't often going to make the difference between winning or losing. The teams in the finals got there without super 14 players and if they keep on winning,...

    Parking at Rosalie is hopeless. More parking is long overdue. (Pity they can't do something about the dual ground markings as well)

    It's called the cycles of club rugby, actually Frank. Congratulations on a first class win by Palmyra, that was as good a second half of tight finals rugby as I've seen. You could read all the nice...

    It's amazing how people look biased against your team, isn't it? Referees, journalists, administrators -- all of them are hell bent on being too hard on your team and too soft on the opposition. It's...

    Jeez I dunno Frank -- better not count your emus before they've hatched. Paly has Wanneroo and Cottesloe and it wouldn't surprise me unduly if you lost both of those. I mean, Paly is the team that...

    From what I saw on Saturday there is nothing stopping Wanneroo from getting results this year apart from a few too many errors and a few problems with finishing. The Roo-dogs had a fair share of...

    To be brutally honest, Coach, it wasn't that good a game. It was tight, and exciting because of that but it was the poorest exhibition I have seen from Neddies this season. And yes, Frank, some of...
