Whilst I agree that the financial reports should be made public and correct me if I'm wrong they should be because the Western Force is a registered business/corporation/sporting club etc. My Cricket Club has to do an annual report on the financial situation as does Palmyra RU Club, so I would have thought that the Western Force would have to do the same. Pretty sure Sinderberry said there was a delay due to the ARU takeover?

It's not like I'm hiding behind my online handle most on this site know who I am in person.

if that is your real name...

For those who care about this kind of thing, they're planning on a return to something resembling the 2006 jersey next year and keeping it stable for a number of years after that.

Awesome news.

Now for the "we should be in state colours black and gold" comments.......

Also new Coach Dave Wessels will be giving a presentation at the next forum on November 16 so if you want to grill the new coach, come on down.

As members, we invest much of our hard-earned money and time into RugbyWA and I think it reasonable to ask questions about how that's being used and how effective the running of the business is. The financial information is shared with the clubs so why not also share it with those members who have some business and financial nous who are interested in the financial viability of the Force as much as its on-field success. After all, if it fails as a business, it also fails us.

I have to second the call "the plodder" is a friend of mine. Even without being there I new who it was from the line of questioning. The reports should have been made public, but for some strange reason they have been very hard to get hold of. Thanks to this gent I now know why and is as close to a horror story as it gets.

Well I'm sure someone will bother explaining it to the rest of us at some point.

**Muddly** · 22-09-16, 15:42

Well I don't know if I should??? After all Foley (stonefish) was the master of all evil and therefor held all responsibility for the demise of the club. As he is gone all will return to normal?
As simple as it gets the three main areas strength and conditioning, Medical (recovery) and skills were all slashed by 50%. Yet during this time our CEO had 2 PA's? Good to know that the man at the helm had his priorities right the whole way through.
Do the job, get the results, but do it with one leg and arm missing.

Well if it's gonna be brought up in a public forum it's only fair the public forum knows what's going on. Sinderberry invited him to explain and he refused.

**jono** · 22-09-16, 16:27

Yeah I'm with beige - in a community meeting if you want to start something you should follow through. Otherwise it's all inference & conjecture.

Put your cards on the table or RWA will tell you to stick the smokescreen/PR festival - sorry I mean meetings. They don't have to do them.

Why are the jerseys in the state colours of black and gold! That's what I want to know!

PS Damn kids can get off my lawn!
It took me a long time to grow that crop of weeds and the lawn took time too.

They should do it for the Hurricanes game next year as that the Foundation Day weekend (WA Day to the peanuts in the gallery).
