Well done Western Force on a great win.
Unfortunately I had family commitments today so missed the main game and the club matches.
As I have no friends to ask, (ok, ok, I have no friends period) does anyone know how the club scratch matches went?
Paly 4th and 5ths got two 20 minute halves between them. I left when 3rd grade finished and they got two 20 minute halves.
Spent more time driving to the ground then actual play

baysie beat kala in prems, kala were outmuscled
P
aly's own fault they only asked for 4x20 minutes for the lower grades.
That's strange,Choice. On Thursday night at Palmyra when we were discussing this very issue we were told that it was Nedlands who said they only wanted 4 x 20 minutes for the lower grades.
Anyhow, how many tries were Pally crushed by in firsts and seconds?
Joondalup reserve grade beat curtin 2 tries to 0. a very close contested game that could have gone to any team. joondalup lacking discipline, 18+ penalties against. mostly at breakdown, along with a few high/late tackles and a shoulder charge. fitness was a bit lacking in both teams (especially me). all in all curtin looking good, mandurah next week will be a better test of where abouts we are for the year (same goes when joondalup play a reserve grade team)
We had a hit out against Uni,very hard to judge where we're at because every team including us chop and change and have players missing ,gone fishing ,away down South for the weekend, birthday party , and how's this one of our regular front rowers couldn't play because his nephew was sick and who's the first person we run into at the Force game carrying a tray of beers with a sheepish look on his face. Anyway back to the games and I have a real fear that we will only be fielding 3 open teams this season, it is by far the worst I have seen it in my 25 years at Wests. Third and fourths could only field 8 players between them, this is not a wind up we are in serious deep shit.Doesn't help that in the 3 pre season games we've lost 3 starting 1st graders to season ending injuries.Worrying times ahead
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
Went and watched Wanneroo and Soaks prems, early on it was bit of an arm wrestle.
Once Soaks got its running game going, they ripped the dogs apart, couple of length of the field try's.
Seconds a bit more competitive, KK made an appearance running in 2 and setting up another couple, both clubs look a bit light on for reserves, quality was better for Soaks tho.
Thinking early indications are a long season ahead both on and off the field for the doggies, if they get a couple of injuries and supporters don't show up .
The season may get harder for the doggies, Heard a rumor that Foley has told Phoenix that he is not a required player so he is looking off shore for a contract.
Sugar daddies digging in to pockets up there again one would suggest.

Jo-ji playing up?
Soaks at the breakdown were fierce. Competing for everything and winning a good 60%.
Players were struggling in the heat though and it was only a 70 min game.

I do it because I love the game.
No idea. The games started at 12 and had to finish by 5, so the lower grades got probably more than some of the players wanted.

My info is that Gibbo has said "no" to imports. He wants bring on the local talent even if the first year or so will hurt. Good on him if he can do it but let's wait and see.
It's very sad if the news about Rocky is true. As Fulvio said, the short term thinking of RugbyWA a decade or so ago is now coming home to roost.
Go Neddies!!
