Well not quite like that, but almost.
A club President got a phone call from a lady the other day.
She said she and her partner had just arrived in WA, and he was looking to play for a local club. They were staying in the area. Could the club acommodate him?
"Sure" he said,"We've got teams in every grade, so he'll fit in somewhere. He's more than welcome. Where's he from?"
"New Zealand" was the answer.
"Well he obviously would have played a bit of rugby, then. What position does he play?"
"Utility back."
"Yeah? who did he play for before coming here?"
"Allblacks sevens."
And that, folks, is how former long time Allblacks sevens legend Lote Raikabula comes to put on the Palmyra Jumper for the first time this weekend against University.
Sometimes the Rugby Gods just smile on you.

This is almost as good as the story you wrote for TWF 10 years ago.

"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
Tell him about the Sunday brunch at the Spice Shack in Bayswater, he might be missing Sri Lankan food!![]()
Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
Wow you guy's are so lucky but you forgot to mention the bit about the missus asking if she could pay the club fee's and merchandise online or would the club prefer cash.
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
Next thing you'll be accusing me of an early April fool stunt ...
I'm disappointed with some of you ...
Although Westie will be scurrying to check RugbyWA player registrations just in case ...
how good would that be? talk about a great opportunity for the boys to learn and play along side someone with those sort of skills!
