If clubs like Nedlands stopped importing truck loads of kiwis then less locals would support kiwi teams. Of course they are going to support the teams they relate to; Chiefs, Crusaders etc.
Nedlands needs to get itself an under 16 and an under 18 team and contribute to developing the local player base and stop importing!
I don't disagree with you re getting the right coaching structure and one that "genuinely" engages with the local rugby community not just token efforts. If the Force players are predominantly aligned with Nedlands, Cottesloe and Uni then the negative sentiment in clubland will continue - pretty simple but no-ones done anything about it since the Force's inception.
