So, to relieve the tedium of endless circuitous discussions over the intentions, prognostications and public statements of SANZAR, the ARU, Eastern State newspapers, Pulver, Sinderberry, and Exiles cat, does anyone mind if I change the subject a little to something dearer to my heart, the local metropolitan competition?
These are my tips for the second round.
ASSOCIATES V WESTS
The Associates Force Academy will give Wests a run for their money in the first half, but will succumb to the pressure of the older, tougher and more experienced hard nuts in the Wests outfit in the second half. This will be a high scoring game, but Wests will win by 15 points.
COTTESLOE V JOONDALUP
Cottesloe will win a close encounter by 5 points. Cott's flyhalf, after a disappointing game last weekend, will lift, and his kicking will keep Cott in the game, both tactically and kicking for goal.
PERTH V NEDLANDS
Nedlands by 30 points, unfortunately. Perth will struggle again, especially in the tight five. Nedlands will have some new imported front row behemoth to take over from Vui. The one good thing though is that they will have to pay for him, as the Force have run out of spares to give them.
WANNEROO V KALAMUNDA
This will be the closest game of the round. If last week was any indication, Kalamunda will play a bruising game, and the Roo Dogs will need to use speed and deftness to overcome the physicality of the heavier Kala boys.
I don't know how a 40 plus year old like KK, who scored two tries last week coming on as a fresh reserve, will handle it this time around. Never-the-less, Wanneroo by 3 points. Because they deserve it.
UWA V PALMYRA
UWA by 75 points.

"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
Of course, Ex.
It's just that over the last few days everyone seems to have expressed an opinion on what's going on (or isn't going on) and I thought that if you had a cat, it might have wished to have had an involvement in the matter too!!
Indeed ... a round of Championship games as well;
This week the Goats entertain Rocky and looking to topple last season's winners
Southern Lions host the Pirates, to check how much a force the Lions are this season with three teams
Kwinana will look to strengthen their resolve will a game against Swans
Arks welcome Perth Irish for their first home game at their new ground in Harrisdale
"Cott's flyhalf"
The one they nicked off Wanneroo or is there another one?
Did we ever solve the mystery of how cott could have their fill of Force players and also have their pick of everyone else's?

Darkness, some things are in God's domain alone.
Nedlands by 30 points, unfortunately. Perth will struggle again, especially in the tight five. Nedlands will have some new imported front row behemoth to take over from Vui. The one good thing though is that they will have to pay for him, as the Force have run out of spares to give them.
Fulvio - Vui is with the Roo Dogs
Sorry, I was thinking of Ainsley.
Clutching at straws, Ainsley has been at Nedlands since he was a colt.
Yes, I know that. Will he be available to Nedlands this season given his unfortunate injury playing for the Force? Does the Force have spare props? My understanding is that they are desperately looking for one themselves.
Yeah. Post that subbies stuff in the the Dribble with Darkness thread.![]()
