Focusing solely on media coverage to avoid impacting anyone’s sensibilities, I feel whenever there is a Rugby story on the Force from the East (primarily SMH) they almost always mention the well known checklist of "past troubles", even when there is no context to the rest of the story.
In SMH stories that sometimes happens on articles on the QR Reds and Brumbies but virtually never on the Waratahs.
I think that is what gets under the skin of most WA based Rugby supporters because the Waratahs have had their fair share of bad news incidents over the last few years but they never get dragged up let alone in virtually every article.
It's as if SMH feel a need to establish a "context of understanding" for anything they write about those ferals on the West coast.
