So, here it is, 22k posts of varying degrees of dribble...
1k per Squad member in the days I played...
It has been a long ride from almost the start of TWF via a couple of years layoff.
I will admit I became quite jaded by the petty and frankly pathetic quibbling of a few years ago and am pleased that seems to have subsided.
To me, TWF (and other online engagement) has always been a place to enjoy and treat others as you would in person. Somewhere to discuss a topic I love in Rugby and building friendships that inevitably overflow into other aspects of life. This has been no truer in recent weeks catching up in person with long term TWF mates.
I appreciate this isn't necessarily the values others bring to a given online forum, but I believe it has proven here at least it is what brings the best from the experience.
Thanks to our Founder Coach for your ongoing service and friendship, it is safe to say your "baby" brings greater joy &/or distraction to others than you will ever fully know.
Thanks also to the Mods and Financial Contributors for your investment in keeping things on track.
And finally thank you to all of those who continue to post, comment or just read along.
Despite, or perhaps in spite of, the current turmoil, here's to a more positive era for Force, WA and Australian Rugby ahead.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Yes, it is good to see you back big fella and I'll double down on the thanks to all concerned with TWF. As an old fart who can't stomach social media, it's been a great place to hang out. GRR, where I only lurk is ok too but pretty ES-centric.
