force players

[Buddha Handy]

The number of actual players allocated is irrelevant, it is the fringe force players you want as they are more likely to get game time. Obviously some players do good work for the club off the field but you would still prefer having Whittaker, Christie and Stubbs than Charles, Godwin and Cummins for example.

Pally has Manu.
Wanneroo also has Tupou and Lynn

Supposedy Wanneroo have:

Stanley
Hodgson
Faulkner
Battye
and now Tupou and Toby Lynn

Let's put this one through the election promise meter - outcome - "mostly wrong".

[RumourMonger]

The RugbyWA board sub committee which looks after the clubs is the CRAC which is comprised of former President's of Perth/Bayswater, Wanneroo, Nedlands and one who had a long association with ARKS as club Secretary. Difficult to see why they would want to favour inner city clubs as alleged by RM.

PBS, you have a horrible habit of playing with words.

No-one mentioned the CRAC in relation to the distribution of Force players except you in an attempt to distract the twf faithful from the truth. And by the way, the "one who had a long association with ARKS as club Secretary" also had a close association with Cottesloe - a fact you conveniently didn't mention!

Rugby WA does not mean the CRAC who have no say over Force player issues - if they did they would have sorted the problem talked about at every club years ago. Blaming RUPA has been a convenient excuse that has been well and truly worn out and no-one except Rugby WA's PR sprukers actually believe it. Funny that the Brumbies don't have a problem with RUPA agreements preventing them allocating to Canberra / Queenbeyan clubs.

The management and staff of Rugby WA are the ones that directly and indirectly feed the western suburbs clubs the Force players. They are effectively assigned to these clubs before they touch down at Perth airport.

Cott, Uni, Nedlands and Soaks have men on the inside of the organisation that covertly work on behalf of their clubs under the guise of being Rugby WA employees. They are effectively "sleepers" planted by those clubs.

It would be a different and fairer story if people from say Kala or Rocky were employed at RWA but the old boy network would never let that happen.

[Political BS]

According to my head count Wanneroo have 6 Force players and Cott 6.

Exactly
Isn't Tupou at Paly? He was at Wanneroo but because players can go where they want he went.

RM - Gosh they are sneaky bugger these Western Suburbs types - they get a job working in Rugby and this allows them access to players... It sure does, however, where are the people from other burbs or teams when there are jobs open. As posted here by numerous TWFers, RWA needs to increase its presence in schools, clubs and suburbs. To do this, they need more development officers staff. I did hear that a few months ago they were gagging for new DOs and received a grand total of .......0 from any clubs. I am not sure that it was announced on TV or in the press, on the web site or whatever, but it would be a great job for anyone who is passionate about growing the game and who is committed.

If you cant beat them etc etc.

[RumourMonger]

Ever heard of "jobs for the boys" Dinky?

Because that's what happens at Rugby WA. Have a look at the DO's (current and past) at Rugby WA. They are all from Cott, Uni etc.

I'm sure there was the pretence of an advertised position then a sham of a selection process and then out pops a new DO, who just so happens comes from the golden triangle!

No evidence and an amazing co-incidence.

I can name names if you want me to.

[DinkyDi]

The names are irrelevant as they are listed on the web site - It could also be that it is a demanding job, where you work 7 days a week most of the year, long hours and on a smallish wage. Travelling to Subi from Mandurah each day may also restrict the applications. I hope that the jobs for the boys is not true. It should also be noted that for a long time, the senior DO management positions have been filled by Eastern States people.... obviously RWA has a Western Suburbs injection for them too?

Nah, you can get more distance out of your accusations if you are vague. Serial Trolling 101.

Both current and previous Managers were mates of Mr Hardy's. It was all done with a slight of hand. Local candidates were overlooked and by some coincidence they were associated with outer suburbs clubs..

Whittaker got a reprimand. No suspension.

Which after seeing the footage and knowing his track record is piss poor by the tribunal. Surely will be appealed.

[westies man]
