"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. 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! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

If people want girlies (who are obviously not their daughters or mothers or anyone else remotely related, because that would be just wrong, wouldn't it?) bouncing about and gyrating their bits, perhaps they should go to a pub which caters for their choice of entertainment. And if they want their kids and wives to go along as well, then so be it.
Personally, I go to the game for the game.
And Manpower? How 80s![]()
glory has mini cheerleaders...theyre all about 13-17yrs old, they just do dance routines to songs at half time and do the give aways and stuff. a combo of them and some older ones would be kool i reckon, even if its just for when they run out of the tunnel.

Did someone say club song?
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
Club song! Club song!![]()

The Force is our team
Our pride and joy
They will remain
And we’re here to support you
As you go out and do battle again
We stand against them
With pride and passion
We’ll send them homeward
To think again
I don't really care if we have cheerleaders or not, I'm there for the rugby. Anyway, with one day to go before another crucial game lets get focused on our team and back them. Come on boys... you can do it!!!!!!!
Just happy to be here
So do I and so does Mrs Shasta. But she seems to spend a little time during the warm up each week, along with a couple of other female members, discussing the physical attributes of certain Force players. Mainly Digby. I'm pretty sure they are not considering their relative abilities to win possession in a contest.Originally Posted by tragic

The game is only 80 mins and we're there longer than that. Fair's fair![]()
However, if enough members are against having cheerleaders, maybe we should consider the "hot tub option" like they have in Durban![]()
It's about time we had cheerleaders!! Female rugby teams (and perhaps also the waratahs) should be allowed to have male cheerleaders if they want.
I think some people may be missing part of what the cheerleaders could bring to the game experience.
Aside from being good to look at, they could help the crowd get into the game, help start chants ect. ect.
They didn't the name Cheer-leaders for just standing there and looking good... And although they are exceptional at that, we would require cheerleaders with, additional skills...

Interestingly, Force will probably be wearing their alternative strip of gold and black? With two games against two blue teams of NZ! With both H'landers and Blues having the stutters lately, Force are a chance. Hope they've been training in the WA colours strip!
Unfortunately, those colours were selected by the Hurricanes, complete with a similar swirly logo, at the start of S12. (Present colours OK too!)
I wish the team well in NZ, which is followed by a home game (Crusaders) then a three week tour of Sth Africa! This is a new type of testing peroid, as will be the cold of Dunedin!
GO FORCE !!!
Given that I'm in a bad mood, anyway, here goes the last I have to say on the subject.
Now we're talking about real cheerleaders? Sorry - I thought the initial calls were for women wearing as little as possible and fondling themselves as per one of the "cheerleaders" in the Ausdeck pic. I have nothing against genuine cheerleaders. However, most cheer squads I have seen are young women practising Raunchy Girl moves, either following the very small portion of the crowd they can actually cover, or dancing about in total disunity with it.
Personally, I don't think these "cheerleaders" are there for the punters - they're for the cameras so the sponsors can get another close up (sometimes gynocological) shot on the telly.
And while I'm certain that many people find them nice to look at, they just make me squirm with embarrassment for them.
I empathise with you, Shasta. The young men behind me spend the pre-game minutes loudly dissecting and commenting on every female going about their business who happens within line of sight. Like the players, their function is not to be oggling objects, and nor are they behaving as such.
So there. Now I'm going to go off and drown my sorrows for yet another lost opportunity for a win![]()
OK TWF folks
You want to see a cheer squad supporting rugby - Get out to Kalamunda home games after the Easter break to see the Fit2Cheer Cheer team supporting the Kalamunda Bulls.
These girls are great. The are cheer leaders, there to get the crowd involved and support the on field endeavours.
They lead chants and will also perform at half time.
This squad are national champs and have also represented Australia in international competitions. Like I said they are Cheer Leaders there to enhance the game not for cheap thrills.
Go Girls - C'mon the Bulls
... on the 6th day God played rugby and on the 7th day he rested, because he was sore and a little hungover.
We should ban cheerleaders because they are offensive. We should get rid of those nasty beer advertisements because we'll all become alcoholics if they keep selling the stuff. The game is a little too violent these days, so we should make them all play touch rugby instead. And are the snack foods they sell really all that healthy?![]()
Now you are being silly. When have chips and deep fried chicken been unhealthy...eh...eh?Originally Posted by Goldmember
If the world was run by The Enforcer, I would have raunchy cheerleaders with nothing less than a C cup, full strength free beer served by skimpy waitresses willing to sit on your knee when you get cold and Burger King served by the bucket load. However, my cunning take-over bid has not quite worked yet, so compromise is the order of the day.
I have no view either way on cheerleaders but if we do get them then I think they should be older than the ones at the Glory as I found it a tad embarrasing looking at 14 year olds shaking their booties. Beer should be served during the whole game and efficiently done so you don't miss half the match while getting one and I don't have a problem with fatty food every so often...it's part of going to a game.
Now, this is for those who get upset about all these things.....grow up....it's a big boys world we live in and if you have issues take them to somewhere where big boys are not going to be hangin out....like rugby matches...or just suck it up and don't look.
(Note: I know you were being sarcastic Goldmember, but I thought I would add my pennies worth to the debate)
