S A Presidents XV v Perth Spirit Trial Match

[Thequeerone]

Love the colour in here shall we tell FS or let his psychiatrist tell him its really happening

[fulvio sammut]

Everybody hates me, nobody loves me, you're all out to get me, its all part of the plot, the Arabs, Zionists, Communists Neocons and Organised Religion are all in on it. You'll all be brought to destruction when the Alien Rugby Forces arrive . Who'll be laughing then?

Who took my medication?

[felixnelson]

are they fair dinkum with daruda on the bench? he is exactly the sort of player who needs to start every game of this comp, after having virtually no s14 game time. i hope this isnt an example of things to come, otherwise why did the force bother keeping him?

[travelling_gerry]

might be coming back from an injury....maybe dont want to completly kill the opposition..

[JediKnight]

it's a trial match - they know how well Daruda can play....give the youngsters, non Super-14 guys a look.

The one night I am not available and the Spirit (with lots of Force players) are coming to town.

[Darren]

bummer

[Thequeerone]

Ahh gustafsl we need a completely biased opinion as to whos hot and whos not would love to actually see this game and try and figure out what the ARC will give us

PS FS suspect that all will be better through the bottom of the first glass of real French wine - not long now

I don't know its good and bad having him on the bench. Realistically, at 21 he is more the long term prospect. Imagine if you will the following team, hopefully they'll all stay, 4 years down the track (chop and change as you see fit) just when the next world cup comes round. Having developed along very nicely under some of the currently players and with the Western Force program. To me it looks to be a very nice mix of players in their mid to late 20s who could do some serious damage here and there.
