Anyhoo. How did the WA media, apart from Nick Taylor, treat the win? Especially CH Nine etc.

On Seven News it was a 5 second mention after a story about Riyad Mahrez's fluffed penalty kick for Leicester City against Man City in the Premier League yesterday.

Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
It was on Nine news but no more than 30/40 seconds but it was on!
May the FORCE be with you!
Finally able to catch the match and I will say one thing - both scrum halves, if you are not going to kick to a contest, either don't kick or put some serious distance on it and find touch. These crappy 20m kicks to a waiting attacker will kill us next week otherwise. My preference would be, just don't.
Would love to see what would happen if Meakes could ever once find a gap to run through!
Agreed re kicking.
Merkel might not find the gap, but he usually commits more than never taller and more often than not gets the offload away.

A couple of interesting plots showing the changes in DRIs so far in 2017.
The dotted lines show the trend.
Yes, the strategy will change according to the opposition and the game plan.
However, the trend is very clear - a reduction in the total number of DRI's.
But without the 1st two derbies the average would be ~46.
Similary, the trend in "standing -off" D Rucks is also quite clear.
But, without the 1st two derbies the average would be ~43%.

His three offloads were bettered by only two players in Round 12, while he also made 10 carries, and no full back made more tackles.
