    I don't think that was the point TBH. Our boys just wanted and needed a good hit up against someone that was not going to hold back and no one can say the Samoans did that. Maybe no professionals but enough heart to take on a team several steps up and not say die. Solid bunch and respect were respect is due!

    It was good to see a lot of running onto the ball at speed and straight at the line. And the ball being swung side to side across the field to the wingers.

    No idea but they went ok for about half the game. As happens a lot with them, poor discipline let them down.

    I realise that wasn't the point of the game. It's good just for an opposed run to get rid of some rust and get some combos going.

    I was merely curious as I hadn't heard too many details regarding the opposition

    According to the force website there were 2000 people at the game.
    I was rather shocked when I heard that considering we are only supposed to have 5.5k members

    Hey Alison, quick question. Do you know "her" real name? My missus thinks she used to play touch for WA with her.

    Dunno, I wasn't there but maybe she's just doing her job. She was probably told no autographs until after the game. Otherwise there would have been crowd congestion as everyone would have rushed there for one too. I think we all should cut her a wee bit of a break from the continued criticism and degradation

    I really hope the poor woman doesn't read this site.

    Nicky stood up fit to chew nails and spent the rest of the game looking for a legal square up. The clean out which knocked the poor bugger back ten meters was my favorite.

    But the push n shove ending up with a little Hugh and dance on halfway comes a close second. Honey Badger needs to get a cheap shot in every game based upon his reaction.

    Mary is her first name, don't know her surname but I think it begins with P??

    And in answer to Jono - she makes the rules herself; she is not acting on anyone else's direction. And no, she doesn't read the site.

    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.

    Just asked..... yeah that's her. My (highly diplomatic) missus said she was a total pain in the ass when they played touch as well
