A 35 meter rolling maul. It says everything about what sort of culture the team has built this year.
I'm bloody buzzin' like I was after the Panasonic game. Two sparkling games in a row!

Very solid display from the boys. Pretty OK game with not too many errors. Thought the referee was very good again after his effort in Perth.
After not watching any Rugby outside of WSR it's good to see some things haven't changed. Marto is still a f@ckin Muppet who doesn't know his are from his elbow.

I’m going to defend Marto! For the simple reason I usually love to hate the commentator adds extra spice to the game. In the good old days of the WAFL it was like that when Percy Johnson use to commentate. He hated my team and would be very bias. Although he would anger me I had to admit it added to the spice of the game!
That been said the knowledgeable commentator is usually good too like Gordon Bray.
Was good to see them on tv 😃 but it looked like they played on a horse paddock.
Yep I hate reading comments like that, I cringe. But if we can retain all these "Super Rugby" capable players inevitably the media will have to concede that this team / and the WSR comp is super rugby standard.Originally Posted by travelling_gerry:

Who wrote that piece anyway. It reads exactly like an RA funded fluff piece designed at spreading more misinformation? Who wrote this garbage? Beth Newman? Sam Phillips? It definitely reads like the garbage these paid RA mouth pieces produce time and time again.
The guy is absolutely shocking. A grade A W*nker, not fit for rugby commentary, unimaginative, not funny, criticizes refs over the nd over again and when in the room with Kearns he just comes across like a bogan behind a mic with nothing to do with the game on screen.
I'm not a fan of Gordon Bray either, he is knowledgable and I enjoy his comments but he doesnt have the voice for a commentator and can ruin the game if he talks too much with his voice. He needs a decent backup commentator working along side of him (not Chris Handy ffs) to be really good and effective behind the mic.
Some notable good commentators are Tony Johnson and Grant Nisbet are good. Justin Marshell is horrible.
Really enjoyed the game, another dominating display after the panasonic game. Really enjoying the expansive open style of play we are producing game after game, it's been refreshing watching attractive, expansive and better yet winning rugby from the Force this year. Two huge scores in the last two major games they have played. I thought Deegan was excellent and Prior also played well producing quick ruck ball. I enjoyed watching Kieran Longbottom get stuck in and thought Thrush also had a good game although very luck to avoid the yellow card for the deliberate knock down.
Brisbane were very lucky not to concede 50 with that pass the ref called forward near the end of the game. It was certainly going to be another Force try in another dominating display. Hopefully we just utterly crush and decimate all the NRC opposition this year and show the RA that the NRC was never a worthy competition for these boys. Brisbane seemed to score off lucky turnover ball so could easily have been held to a lower score with some more structured defence, especially the Force preparing for the counterattack. Quade and Hunt did nothing to justify their exorbitant pay checks and to justify their former Wallaby selection although I must say I would take Quade over Foley any day.
Hopefully the momentum continues. Go Force.
Yeah, and what was up with the comments along the lines that the Force just won because they had played more games together. No, the Force just played really well!
If they're worried about that then maybe to even things up they should just scrap Super Rugby and everyone can play in WSR.
The logic is an absolute cop out. Sure the Force player together longer but according to the implication coming from the east is our players aren't good enough to make the grade over east.
So a team of 15 not up to snuff players who have played 7 games over a 4 or 5 month period together have an advantage of a team with far superior quality players of which many would have played together in around 14-15 games during that same 4-5 month period is a supposed far superior competition. Explain to me exactly how the Force have the competitive advantage if you believe the propaganda about WSR before this point? The Wallabies get battered from pillar to post in a whole bunch of games these days so I wouldn't put it down to the other teams missing them being part of it. Plus we never had Wallabies so we're even more of at a disadvantage!
If the Force win the championship, they'll claim the WACA pitch is doctored to suit our fast bowlers, or some shit.

Something like the pitch at McGillivray goes up and to the right uniquely suiting the Western Force, and giving them a distinct advantage! I can hear them saying it now.
