I have noticed that the Queensland and ACT medias aren't as interested in the Western Forces links with Firepower as one particular Sydney newspaper so i will refer to the SMH in future rants TOCC.
Considering the ongoing email situation between the SMH and a former Force staffer it's only fair. Also im a tad surprised Queensland rugby hasn't joined the SMH in bad mouthing RugbyWA over this situation considering how the Western Forces recruiting has negatively affected the Reds so credit to the QRU.
I concur with Lauras statement about the people power involved with allowing us to have the Western Force in the first place. Its also the reason why the SMHs need to highlight the Western Forces involvement with Firepower in a negative fashion stirs the passion it does.
Its no secret that NSWRU wanted the franchise in Melbourne and that the level of RugbyWA involvement in ARU planning and discussions is reflected in the NSWRUs desire to treat WA as the poor cousin when their choice of Melbourne was out voted.
