    (1st time 'poster' on here - nervous, or what!... I'll be brief... haha, yeah, right!)
    (3 to 4 month keen follower/admirer on here - since the axing debacle landed large!)

    I've got it - an 'International' part-solution to go on with (in the mix with IPRC & local great comp etc)!

    In the same way as the Eallabies/ERU/Rugby Eastralia (or whatever that irrelevance dubs itself 'expensively' this week, in its vain pitiful attempts to stay one step ahead of 'justice' finally coming home to roost!) plays a 3rd Bledisloe 'decider' (to see if the big 'E' can manage a dead rubber win)....

    How about we get RugbyWA & WA Govt to invite our now favourite two 1st tier Southern Hemisphere long-famous rugby nations, the ABs & Boks, (both of whom have many fine resident & visiting supporters known to our fair city & to our true welcoming rugby community) to play an end-of-season annual 3rd 'decider' in a welcoming neutral & 'midway' venue - a true traditional international great rugby rivalry contest with many decades of heritage/brilliance/excellence.... a proper end-of-season hit out, with absolutely no involvement from the plonker entities in the East.

    The IRB ought to be fully behind the concept of these two great rugby nations playing off annually in a neutral midway venue - & the rest of the fair-minded worldwide rugby audience, who have been suitably disgusted by what's happened to WA, would also roundly welcome the concept (e.g. I've posted/observed widely on the very well-regarded "Kahu the Kiwi - Rugby & World Sports" forum in recent months, with its now 125,000+ members, & have received/seen nothing but rugby family support for our WA plight & disgraceful treatment!).

    I met some of you fine TWF folk recently, at the 2nd Perth hearing at Four Points.... sat/chatted with Patrick during morn, & spoke cordially & determinedly with the infamous Alison & others during breaks (apologies, didn't retain other names, owing to being both 'old' & a 'bloke' - fair defence, methinks!).... I was the last one (I think?) still lingering in the foyer at end (doing some work emails), when Linda emerged with a confident stride & a definite 'glint' after her 'in camera' session, & made a point of coming over to me to say she'd got some good questions answered during the day - so, let's keep hoping she's got the ammo to nail 'em good & proper - Go Linda (she's a WA gem alright!), & Go TWFers!

    Let me say, the utterings on here & the great research & dedication you've all shown, in such tough & unfair times, has been nothing short of 'inspirational' for the rest of us Force 'fringe dwellers' who've come belatedly into 'engagement' with the whole disgrace unfolding - don't EVER give up the good fight.... you/we absolutely have RIGHT on your/our side (many, many world rugby jurisdictions know that!).

    Don't waste too much breath on those numpty entities/'administrators'(ha!) on the dark side across the nullarbor - those involved have no concept of sport or true rugby (more's their loss!).... if dollars & nepotism are their only fascination, let 'em die lonely.

    Keep our focus on the West & true rugby - those eastern entities have all forgone trust forever, they're all complicit, & have 'sold out' just for a short-term gain.... let 'em stew in their own mess ('unobserved' by anyone outside of their little circle).

    That'll do for my 'brief' opening offering - &, thanks again, for all your hard yards so far!

    Cheers to you all!

    P.S. How do you do your clever/funny sign-off footers (like "I may be a senator but...")?
    For now, I'd offer something like "It's no coincidence that Enemy starts with an 'E' - secession's looking good!"

    Well your too old for SG Ball so you'll have to aim for the State Cup squad. If it ever happens.

    PS. I enjoyed telling you you're "too old" for something,... anything.

    The one from David Hawkins is great and makes a mockery of the claims by Pulver and Clyne, that it is only WA people that are complaining about the Force being chopped and what a disaster the ARU are,
    A quick google of David Hawkins leads me to Endeavour Hills Rugby club in Vic. Good on you David, if this is you.

    If you sort them by State, David Hawkins comes up as NSW - even better!

    I sent the one from Vic and email applauding him, if it was him. So we should find out. I must admit it reads like somebody from NSW in the know.
