As a fan of both "Rugby" games, as I know many of you are, I encourage you to get behind the Reds in 2009 which promises to be an exciting year.
Great to hear that the Force will be moving to MES in 2010 as it will mean that both codes are away from AFL and playing on a dedicated rectangular ground.
The WARL/Reds have negotiated a pre season game between St George Illawara (coached for the first time by super coach, Wayne Bennett) against Brad Fittler's Sydney Roosters on the 14th February.
This game promises to be a cracker as both coaches are committed to bringing all their stars over and both teams will arrive a week prior and will be involved in several lead up events, lunches, dinners etc. Wayne Bennett will run an all sports coaching forum which is being supported by the Department of Sport and Recreation.

In June the WARL/Reds will also present a competition game in partnership with the South Sydney Rabbitohs against the Melbourne Storm which also promises to be a beauty.
Both of the above games are included in the 2009 Reds Membership along with a host of other extras.
As the Reds games are played outside of the Western Force draw, why not consider a Reds Membership?
The more “Rugby” played in this state the stronger BOTH codes will grow against the AFL and Soccer, etc. We need to team up rather than work against one another!
We have recruited exceptionally well and the Reds team for 2009 will be much stronger and more confident across the board with the goal to make the finals then move up to the NSW Cup in 2010 then on to the NRL by 2012.
If you are a Rugby League fan we need your attendance at the St George v Sydney game in February to show the NRL that our game can draw a crowd and that Perth is a viable option for the next NRL expansion.
Visit the Reds site in the lead up to the new season and watch Rugby League develop in Western Australia. Better still, get on board for 2009.
