The sun was over the yard arm, so what the hey!

I made a mighty fine homebrew that begs to be drunk at all hours of the day.

We should have some sort of challenge for the Force V Tahs game. Maybe the loser's fans have to shave their head?

Will you be here for the game Chook, I'll gladly shave your head in when we whip your a$$es

I'll put my locks on the line! no risk there!

Rugby WA is suing former chief financial officer David Round over suspicions he was leaking confidential information that led to an ARU investigation into the Western Force's contracting procedures and a $150,000 fine.

``It is rather curious that (the former employee) should wait seven months until our litigation before making this baseless claim,'' O'Meara said.

What does Rugby WA expect to gain from this? Do they plan on getting $150,000 the amount of the fine they paid? Assuming the person is guilty. Does this guy or girl actually have anything worth taking? How can these actions help expand the fanbase? It seems like a very bad PR move on the part of the team to me. Or maybe I'm missing something.

I highly doubt its about the money Larry. Like I said before I agree that RugbyWA would hardly pursue this and drag all these issues up again without a very strong basis for doing so. The impression I get is that they have some pretty strong evidence against David and with the ARU checking in on player contracts and the audit due in mid-Dec this is a pretty good avenue to go down in order to detract attention from any wrongdoings. This was not something that was going to stay dead and buried I'm quite sure of that. The whistleblowers were certainly not going to let the matter rest because the ARU slapped a $150 000 fine on RugbyWA. Like we discussed at the time, that was pathetic. It's def a case of timing in my opinion and I think this time, RugbyWA is bringing it out on their terms which in the long term will save them from the bad publicity of being 'caught' out again....or at least accused again...

Has anyone looked at the timing of those recent "Giteau wants to move back East" stories (just before WF memberships opened again). I wonder if there's any link....

Grassy knoll and all that....
