Looks great mate.
I suggest changing
"It is your responsibility to ensure that we leave our game in a better position than we found it."
to
"It is our responsibility to ensure that we leave our game in a better position than we found it."
as it is less adversarial and invokes a sense of shared journey.
The intent of the statement "We do not believe that any team in Super Rugby should be removed as a quick and short sighted fix to poor Expansion planning in the move to 18 teams." is unclear. Perhaps
We believe that the removal of any team from the current Super Rugby competition to be a short-sighted fix to the current issues with the competition.
I would also mention the relative financial success of the Force in comparison to the regular funding shortfalls of some other teams (maybe not in so many words though)
C'mon the
Looks great Ex - thank you!
Re the WA-born issue, why not simply change it to WA-raised? Then you would be factually accurate but lose none of the impact of the point you're making.
Let us know what sort of response you get from Pulver!

I think WA developed players might be best.
IF someone could please provide a number - I can finalise the email and send it

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you!

Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.

Perth has been for many years and still is the 3rd largest tv audience for rugby in the country after Sydney and Brisbane. A strong point in our favour.
The success of wa u20s and jgc teams in recent years is something worth promoting.
Not that I want to be seen as encouraging this petition or anything.
"In 2006 John Welborn was the only WA developed player in the Western Force squad, in 2017 that number is 13. Whilst the results have not shown on the scoreboard. The local player development has been remarkable."
