So is filling some key positions.

No franchise, except the WF has the $$s to make these ideas work (as shown by the WF taking the Academy crew to Canberra and Melbourne last year).

Consider the costs of return airfares, food and...

The big list is interesting but the relevant list is the one for Super Rugby:...

Wish you all the best Tom. Thanks so much for your injury coverage and fantastic efforts.

The article in The West also confirms Lock Josh Thompson, from West Harbour in Shute Shield, who played in the Cheetahs tour last year.

Pleasing to see Nick Champion de Crespigny join the Back Row talent.

Good advice Jargon83. :)

I certainly DO NOT have all of the answers............

Perhaps you can advise what competition Perth Gold would play in. Against which other teams?

The game is serious trouble with some...

This matter has been well covered in previous years.
The Schoolboys competition is run outside the program that is run through RAu and the State Unions which has a focus on the U16 and U19 national...

This game is worth watching (RugbyPass TV)

Impressive efforts by Dane Sawers and Ronan Leahy and a glimpse of Boston Fakafanua's potential.

The second half was worth the effort.

Welcome back Robbo

We already have Nic White, Isaak Fines-Leleiwasa and Henry Robertson (who shows heaps of potential).
I reckon that we're in good hands.

Your expectations are out of sync with what usually happens at this time of year.

At this time we appear to be in better shape that all of the other SRP teams.

One of the benefits of the Spring...

With respect I meant what I said.
IMO Swinton's hit on Jake Strahan was unforgivable and did the game no credit.
We need to get this aspect out of the games if we want to grow them.

Sua'ali'i and Swinton are twins - both thugs.

Sorry - don't know the number.

I went back and had a look at what Simon Cron said in February 2024:

In WF website:

This reduction will have forced some changes and limited options.

I would expect that...

I don't think this statement is correct.
In Round 5, there were 8 Academy players playing in local Club Rugby (that's 8 of the local 12 Academy members.
They included:
Wanneroo: AJ Preketes, Caleb...

Not woeful - just indicative of how unpopular the 8 PM time slot is as it doesn't suit families.

What a shame that so many missed watching such a great game live!!

Note: The time slot is set...

Shouldn't that be a focus for RugbyWA not WF HQ?

According to Slayer1 from Green & Gold Rugby:

"The Administrator's report clearly showed the Rebels were getting more money than other teams.
AND that they had exceeded the salary cap for at...

Great stuff Tazzmania!

Jackson Pugh, Wilton Rebolo and Ollie Cummins have been released already.
