    The West Rugby Liftout

    Pretty Good this week.

    Article on Horua about his own admission his performance needs to lift.
    Article on John Mitchell not going anywhere and how new coaching methods are working well and assistants taking more hands on role during training. "I'm More of an engineer rather than Builder" John Mitchell.

    And my favourite Article with John Welborn going over reason why Gits shouldnt have left with....

    John Welborn's Ten Reasons Why Gits Should Have Stayed with the EWF

    1. Better colour jersey
    2. WF are on an upward trajectory. Brumbies at the end of an era. Gregan, Larkham are long gone and their influence fading.
    3. Quality open side flanker - Pocock and developing backline talent J O'C, Shepherd Mitchell.
    4. Miss the chance to play in Perths improved rectangle stadium (it will happen).
    5. The Force is best placed rugby franchise to survive and thrive in tough economic times.
    6. Expanded comp in the offing.
    7. Canberra is a hole!
    8. Bianca
    9. Life after rugby. I dont think gits wants to be a politician.
    10. The filthy lucre! Matt turned down a better deal in Perth to return to Brumbies.

    Hilarious Stuff........

    MUDSKIPPERS ANSWERS TO WELBORN'S TWADDLE

    1. Better colour jersey
    IS this the first thing he thought up or his best point? what nonsense....

    2. WF are on an upward trajectory. Brumbies at the end of an era. Gregan, Larkham are long gone and their influence fading.
    Actually the Brumbies are heading towards a new dominate era in the club...and Super rugby...

    3. Quality open side flanker - Pocock and developing backline talent J O'C, Shepherd Mitchell.
    Pocock is a good talent but wont win matches just steals the ball and has to do the tackling for the other less talented forwards, JOC has years before he peaks as a footballer, Shep is an clear under performer, Mitchell will likely leave and be at the Brumbies along side Gits away.

    4. Miss the chance to play in Perths improved rectangle stadium (it will happen).
    He will next year wearing a brumbies jersey...

    5. The Force is best placed rugby franchise to survive and thrive in tough economic times. But the Brumbies are more professional and better managed at all levels from the Coaching team 3 of which are ex-Wallabies and up to the board.

    6. Expanded comp in the offing.
    If the S14 expands he will be a part of that and will do a lot less air miles during the season

    7. Canberra is a hole!
    We'll I've heard the same rubbish said about Perth...thats a mindless point

    8. Bianca
    Bianca will eventually move to Canberra or Sydney if she wants to see Matt more often. When the market goes up he will sell his house… Realistically He spends most of the year away or on the east coast playing for the Wallabies or Brumbies in the future

    9. Life after rugby. I dont think gits wants to be a politician.
    There will be plenty of opportunities for Giteau when he is finished playing for the brumbies throughout the world...

    10. The filthy lucre! Matt turned down a better deal in Perth to return to Brumbies.
    Yes because he thought it wasn't worth his time staying
    Hilarious Stuff........
    John Welborn Who?....
    translates as...well nobody important...Perths new media monkey... These are the most inward-looking….blinkered…. insular comments I've read in a local newspaper for years....trying to score cheap points with the locals who feel maligned by Giteau choosing to return home.....

    He should be known as John low-blow Welborn….

    I think you'll find that is normal for the West.

    Jees Muddie, someone give you a humour bypass overnight? The fact he opened with the jersey colour should have been a bit of a hint...

    Humour doesn't exist when we are talking about Muddy's 'precious'.

    We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little Western Force. Wicked, tricksy, false!

    Yes, precious, false! They will cheat you, hurt you, LIE.

    You don't have any friends; nobody likes you!

    I got trampled by a wild horse.

    Then I had nightmares after watching the Man from Snowy River.

    Question: Why is the ocean blue?

    Answer 1:
    In effect, the ocean is not blue. The water simply reflects the color
    of the sky overhead (which appears to us as blue -- due to refraction
    of incoming light). Of course, ocean water contains much particulate
    matter, but this does not cause the "blue" color.

    http://westernforce.com/emirates_wes...age,50768.html

    your little ad calls you the sea of blue, the sea is blue as it reflects the sky, the waratahs wear sky blue!

    in conclusion, the force are a reflection of the tahs, even though it is a poor reflection, its still a reflection, i.e. the force cant exist without the tahs but the tahs can exists without the force!

    i rest my case!
