I haven't heard much about the pre-season comp. so far.
On the information I got from the Southern Lions website, I trotted down to Success at 12.30 on Saturday to watch the games, only to find the place was locked down tighter than a drum, with a solitary jogger, and a bunch of cranes pecking at the grass in a desultory fashion, being the only signs of life to be seen.
Luckily all was not lost, as I was able to spend half an hour or so taking my infant granddaughter, who lives nearby, for a walk in her perambulator.
I was told later that they had decided to start at 4 or 5 pm. I hope they informed the players.
Anyway, the long and short of it is that there has been no information as to the results. Who won? What were the scores? Who played well? Who got sinbinned or injured?
Someone said at training tonight that Uni had a huge team, and one of their wingers caused Cottesloe some headaches. I also heard that Kalamunda looked pretty slick.
Someone else said that Southern Lions and Bunbury have pulled out, but again I have no idea if this is true or not. I wouldn't be surprised if they did, it would not be much fun being taken apart by the big boys, as I imagine is what happened. That's a lesson Joondalup learned a few years ago when they thought they were good enough, on the strength of a few fourth grade wins, to play first grade, and took on then cellar dwellers Wests in a warm up to a Force game. They were humiliated in front of thousands.
So, a report, anyone? Rick? You have your finger on the pulse, surely?
And after asking for information, I've just noticed that RugbyWA posted a write up on their site late this afternoon. Well done. Sounds like all the Premier grade teams had a good hit out.
