When the Force fans whinged about getting axed. We were told to "Get used to it. Move on etc""

I do feel for them not knowing when then are going home and all the what if questions. But is is what...

I was emotionally down after Friday night at the game live. But I stayed off the web and Stan on Saturday, and watched the game on Sunday morning in a more un-emotional way.
There are a lot of...

Well done Nine and Stan!! Massive step up in quality of pre-game and post-game shows from the level Fox and Kayo had sunk to in the last few years.
Looking forward to seeing the Stan program on...

This on the RA's own website. How things have changed at the RA.
"We all know the bridge to this night against the Brumbies, over turmoil, anger, protest and eviction, is much longer."

Shasta, you could be rich man soon. I hope you put your house on at $3.50 and $12. I am not into betting, but did have a a little smile at those generous odds, which are likely to shorten a lot this...

The Forrest family own Harvey Beef.

Well it will be a pleasure if the Force belt the Tahs again.

"The trial will be live streamed on brumbies.rugby and the Brumbies Facebook Page."

I would much rather have an Western Australian own the Western Force and maybe bail out the RA at some point by buying say 15% of them. Good luck to the Kiwis in the future.

That story in the...

"Perth would almost certainly be handed one of the three Lions-Springboks Tests, given the high number of ex-pats from the UK, Ireland and South Africa that now call Western Australia home.

Lets not forget that Rob Clarke was the executioner for Clyne and Pulver during the axing the Force 3 years ago and then jumped ship straight into the CEO role at the surviving Melbourne Rebels....

As your signature says keep calm and GRRRRRR on!

But hopefully the live free-to-air coverage on Channel 9 at prime sports viewing time will good for rugby's exposure to new audiences in NSW and Qld at least and perhaps a little elsewhere as well....

Fairly predictable that something like this could happen. That many people flying in together from Covid hot spots was always going to be high risk...

Hi Bakkies.
We will find about your thoughts on Kearney above, in about 5 weeks time against your Brumbies

Rob Kearney has made it to Perth!

I fear it will be something like the Force having to live for 3 months in a bubble somewhere on the east coast again.

I wonder if the Force players and other sports teams will be able to get the...

Somebody posted on here about a week ago that Kearney was 4 days into his quarantine in Brisbane, So his 14 days must be nearly up in Brisbane and now he is has going to have do another 14 days in...

It will be interesting to see if Wales pick Jake for the Six Nations in Feb/March

The Brumbies squad for 2021 was confirmed yesterday.

Bit that I found interesting was "seven in the squad who grew up in...

Wow. I think Twiggy has found a gem in Tony.

Looks like a great signing. Bonus is that he has previously lived & worked in WA in Perth, and also played rugby for WA.

And the rest of Australia and NZ as well, so their teams can come offer here and play the Force in Perth,

Trouble is if some had recognised Jake Ball's potential back then and offered him a Force contract to stay. He then would likely have gone to earn a Wallaby top-up contract, and the ARU would have...

He says he coming to Australia in July (after the end of the northern hemisphere season), so he wont play for the Force in 2021, if that is part of the plan.
