That's the problem with using artificial intelligence to solve all your problems
Probably how rugby wa solves it problems as well graphs and charts full of fudged statistics
Start listening to people on the ground and you will understand what is going on
Dog Start doing the cryptic crossword and Sudoku in the west and improve your mind
Everybody loves ARKS. Doesn't mean they don't know what happened back then. Blaming WARU is just the fashion and a cheap and easy way to avoid the truth.
If you want to know why ARKS fell over then you should go and talk to the people running the club at that time.
Maybe having the club turning up with 25 players for 1-4ths and having them backing up and playing 3rds 2nds and then Prems and getting slaughtered 60 & 70 nil had a little bit to do with it.
Easy to fire shots at WARU when your club is failing because of internal strife, poor management and losing players including to external recruiting raids. Get on the band wagon, my club is performing badly because of poor administration, I know how to fix it, we'll attack WARU.

The faceless men need to pull there heads out of the sand and listen to the members. I know the emu export may have demised my memory a little over the years , but I would bet my last pack of Winnie blues on the Nedlands senior side of the late eighties , early nineties against any of the state sides of the last 5years at least . The demise of West Australia rugby is in the hands of the faceless men . All I say is visit the clubs and tell the members what there intentions are and listen to there concerns . Remember the old saying " the rats leave a sinking ship first "
Well...... I think the best of the old State teams I saw was the 1988 team dominated by Nedlands with guys like All Black Paul Koteka, Peter Roberts, Tom Fearn, Gavin Birmingham and co... ARKS guys in the team included Robert "nudge" Edwards who later played for neddies and Mike McDonough. At the same level of fitness and coaching there is no doubt that old state team would have given the Force a good run for its money.
PS
As an outsider it looks to me like the current ARKS administration is doing a great job and bears no responsibility for earlier failures.
Rumour is the format is 10 team Prems and 2s two 3rd 4th grades Gold? And Swan? The Big 5 Prems and Big 4 champ clubs and rest in Swan. And Under19s unchanged anyone confirm???
So we could be looking at something like ...
Prem
Nedland
Soaks
Cott
UWA
Pally
Wests
Wanneroo
Baysie
Kala
Joondalup
Gold
Arks
Curtin
Pirates
Rocky
Nedland
Soaks
Cott
UWA
Pally
Swan
Swans
Kwinana
S Lions
Bunbury
Wests
Wanneroo
Baysie
Kala
Joondalup
Then we could have promotion between Gold & Swan !!!
Not bad. Would have all teams playing 6 out of 9 home games a year which is what the major promblem was this year.
Prem clubs wont like it they the disricts clubs in there own little comp
"the disrict (sic) clubs in their own little competition"
As it should be.
That, and bring back Rockingham into first grade.
The District clubs, including Joondalup, can have their own fun filled competition and stop breaking every one else's balls.
A commitment from every other first grade club to allow one player from their premier roster, paid by RugbyWA for their inconvenience (they caused the problem) to play one season for Rockingham, will have Rocky humming again, providing they have the correct administration on board.
I'm sure even retired club administrators would be prepared to help Rocky out, and thereby help their own clubs out of the shit RugbyWA has created.
Or is 2014 going to be perpetuated ad nauseum?
Based upon what I read on this forum, I'd be betting on the latter Fulv
