We had a busy day yesterday so we only got around to watching The Booze vs The Bonepickers final over breaky Sunday. How good was it to see a Perth based rugby side win a title that comes with media chatter and pictures?
Over the last week I've found my self thinking about the whole Perth rugby thing. I support the most heart breaking football side in the world. But The Booze is a team with players and staff that are the bones of The Heart Breakers and look at them go!! On top of all this, we find our selves looking down the barrel of Aussie contraction in Super Rugby.
So how do I feel about the prospect of loosing The Heartbreakers?
About two weeks ago, I came to the conclusion it was pointless getting upset about it. If The Heart Breakers did go, I'd still have The Booze.. ..which seemed ok to me.
I've enjoyed watching The Booze play over the last 3 seasons. Now they've beaten the evil easterners in a final. If that's all I'm left with after the reshape of Supper Rugby, I'm OK with it.
Another thing is the dazzling fact, that while the Super Rugby may not need The Heart Breakers. The ARU totally needs The Booze (and all the other NRC teams). You've all see the recent scores against the All Blacks right?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
of course if we lose the force,we will lose our NRC side as well-and the club standard will drop--there will be no pathway to higher honours left in WA
Ohhhhhh yes there will. But unfortunately it will likely be the same pathway as taken by Waqa Blake, Curtis Rona and others. The Mungos are unlikely to jump straight in with a 1st grade team here if the ARU bottle it. But you will certainly see them chuck plenty of effort at S G Ball level. That will likely be very quickly followed by a State Cup squad - just as soon as they ditch the NYC (U 20's), and that will likely be very soon.

and the Belmont Steelers will be resurrected?
Unlikely, although Charlie is still around the traps, I think. But Belmont, Applecross, Mossie-Cott and a few others are typical of what might happen to Premier Rugby if things go south.
I wonder how many around here know just how strong the WARL first grade comp was before the demise of the Western Reds? That put th back 30 years I reckon.

I remember WA beat a Manly-Warringah XIII in a pre-season fixture during that time, also won a series against the NSW Metro Cup rep team. I remember WA thumping Victoria up at Pries Park in Kelmscott in the mud and pouring rain. On a side note, WA also had one of the coolest jerseys in RL back then.
Was a great time to be a fan of WA sport, RL was going great guns, the WA soccer team were beating overseas teams like Werder Bremen, West Ham and Nottingham Forest; and the WA cricket team were still the best in the world.

The ARL? It was the people who put in the bid that told the ARL they were swimming in the green stuff and could afford to pay all their own expenses plus those of the travelling visitors. They were basically insolvent from the get-go. Murdoch and Co bailed them out, then packed them up, sent them to Melbourne and called them The Storm.
