I'm pretty sure they were taken out of the comp when the Force came, which was a shame. I don't know if it was a direct result of the Force
its because we "WA" are now a professional organisation and have the super 14 franchise.
They need to have some sort of rep side in it for local players. Otherwise what do they aspire to? Force is a big jump from club rugby.
We did have the ARC, but NSW brought it down.....
Anyway, we still got the Perth Gold going, but we only get call-ups or invites to play against a touring side from overseas or against the Academy....
which brings me to the next point, anyone going to watch the Academy play Singapore this saturday? Should be an interesting game at best...
You'll be ok then Ecky, nothing will have changed for you...
I thought I'd at least have given the outward impression that I'm not confused this year. Obviously not......
FS - did I look confused down at Lark Hill on opening day?
You? confused? Nah....
The Ref is always right, innit?
I am well known for always supporting and encouraging referees. I get deeply hurt and offended when people are critical of them. You know that.
Maybe it's just me but would anyone else like to see the Perth Gold name brought back for any new national comp? It means more to me than the Perth Spirit brand...
Perth Gold was subsumed into the spirit side for the ARC....with the demise of the ARC, so went the demise of the spirit (and the Gold)
I assume that ACT suffered the same fate.
Never fear, I think any new national club championship will see the resurrection of this team (whether it's called gold or spirit is a matter of conjecture)
C'mon the![]()

Well i've still got my Spirit jersey so i'm set for any new competition![]()
So are Gold/Spirit going to play?
Brother Gallagher I hear you
