BLACK IS THICKER THAN BLOOD
Hey WJ, when the Tahs get humiliated can you come on this forum and let out all your dissappointment, I'd like a vial of your tears as well to cherish.
What's the go with the second post Seldom, the memories that good or you stoned and thought someone else wrote it?

RugbyWA Chief Executive Greg Harris has issued the following statement on issues relating to Firepower Global.
“There have been speculative news reports in the Sydney Morning Herald and the West Australian this week relating to late payments to Emirates Western Force players by Firepower Global,” said Harris.
“We are currently working through some critical issues with a small group of players who have third party arrangements with the company.”
Harris said RugbyWA was unable to speculate on the amount of monies owed to its players.
“These arrangements were made separate to the players’ RugbyWA and ARU contracts and we are not in a position to comment on any amounts owed to the players. It is standard policy not to discuss any financial arrangements in player contracts.”
“The players have made us aware of the issues and as a responsible employer we will do everything we can to achieve the best possible outcome for those whose third-party arrangements are under duress.”
Harris confirmed that RugbyWA on behalf of a small group of players had been seeking alternative arrangements with various supporters to offset shortfalls in third party player arrangements.
He said the retention of star Wallabies back Matt Giteau beyond 2009 remained top priority for the WA side, despite speculation the 25 year old was reconsidering his position with the club.
“As far as we’re concerned Matt is contracted to the Western Force until the end of the 2009 season and we are hopeful that he will remain with the club for the 2010 and 2011 seasons,” said Harris.
“That said it is our number one priority to ensure that we retain the likes of Matt and other senior players on our list.”
“It is my understanding that a very attractive offer has been made to Matt and his management to assist in extending his contract with the Emirates Western Force beyond 2009.”
RugbyWA will make no further comment on the issue at this stage.
Matt Giteau has declined to comment on his personal situation.

St George will have enough money after there merger, and they want to expand to WA.. there's will be some loose change out of 19Billion they can give the force to pay for there players and possibly a rectangular stadium
You guys don't have Westpac already? Can't see St George expanding after the merger, if anything they'll consolidate into Westpac.
and win or lose there'll be no embarrassment on our part. To misquote Samuel Butler, It's better to play and lose than to never play at all.
I'm quite sure we'll have other companies more than willing to step up if Firepower goes out. ET Mining, Argonaut, Kwik Transport, Emirates, Woodside, just to name a few.
I think you should be concentrating on the stupidity of the Tahs Board members for sacking Ewen.
i dont get upset with my team unless they dont give me a car!
were in the grand final and im allowed to be as excited as i want about it! if we get flogged we get flogged if we just lose we just lose, if we win we win, were in the game and thats all that matters, either way, win or lose there will be tears cos i love and feel for the team i love and there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever!
