I'm absolutely loving their attitude this year. Despite the ref, despite the score, despite the opposition they have maintained the belief in each other and playing as a team, no matter what. Hold your head up high boys, mines looking at the sky!

Lastly i think the game plan is working well. Seems to be that instead of concentrating on how the opposition play, we are playing our game, the way we want, but being smart and targeting a weakness in each team.

Absolutely lastly...Go the FORCE!!!

I was jumping around then noticed the ref pluck out a penalty at 80 mins, couldn't believe it. But what a win. Smashed what the Chiefs "big pack" at the breakdown, brutal gutsy defence. Would have been unjust if we had lost.

Great atmosphere at the ground. Never realised so many Chiefs fans lived in Perth!

What a game and what a result!

No fingernails left!

Excellent Game, huge defence - the piggies were amazing.

Referees almost always find a reason to penalise the attacking team if they try to shut the game down in the final minutes (seconds) of a game. We probably would've been better off putting in a stab kick or playing a touch wider with the attack.

I thought we were in for a drubbing and hoped to go down by less that 7. Found a station on Tune-In and listened to the second half once the kids were in bed and wife busy with the tv. Lovelly surprise hearing the call and picturing what would have been happening at the ground.

Well done to the Force and their crew.

I posted this on another thread..but what the hell!

Couldn't resist the temptation to get one up on the Bros on Marshall Rd . A quick trip home to get some Duct tape and fibre board and ta da! I'm pretty sure they are good sports (they are West Coast Eagles Supporters too..) and will appreciate it in the spirit it was done. Will drive past tomorrow and see if it is still there!

Great win but just realised the boys have screwed up my tipping! That will teach me! My bad!
They did win me a few bob though! Always put a bet on the Force. Trouble is from now on we are going to be favourites.

PS going to have a hangover tomorrow and doing a 15k run at 10.30! Not sure wether I'm going to be able to handle a winning team!😀

What station did you find? Was it a NZ one? I've never found an Aussie one with rugby commentary.

I don't know if someone has already made the observation, but based on how the Reds-Lions look to be going and if the Sharks continue their run, we could have four Australian teams in the top six...!

Ha ha haaa! Come June 28th, you'll be saying "I can't believe so many Blues fans lived in Perth! And why are they the same people as the Chiefs supporters?!"

I agree, we should have taken advantage of a team from such a weak conference!

Had to fly out for work Sat arvo so I missed the game. Pretty shitty day all in all saying goodbye to the Mrs & kids...... got to Dubai, turned my phone on & the day got a whole lot better!!!

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the score, heaps of texts came through on my phone from people at the game.

Really enjoying trawling through all the comments and posts & desperately searching for some video highlights.

How bloody good is it being a Force fan?!?!?!?!?
