Mate welcome to the site. My thoughts exactly about who the stakeholders are and the lack of information available or being made available. Oh wait we're just the shitty members who know nothing! SILLY ME!! I can confirm right now that unless there are some drastic changes made i won't be renewing my membership after 11 solid years. Time to get angry members and ask for some real fucken changes instead of the piss and wind these cocks want to feed us. FARKEN FED UP

You all talk about the membership problems this yr well I was wondering how many of you knew where all your money was going once you paid it to renew..... It was all paid directly to the ARU accounts and Rugby WA must have to get it back from them..
I only found this out after we had committed to the renewal and I am not very impressed....My point is this has been going down for a longer period of time than you all think possibly since the end of last season as renewals came out in Sept-Oct 2015...
I found out a lot of this as I chose the monthly renewal and the CC I used was renewed during this period and they needed the new number.. A gent from Rugby WA` calledin March to request the new number and he informed me of this... Stephanie is no longer in memberships as she has resigned ..A great loss to Rugby WA as she knew her stuff and fixed any problems we had promptly
Seems that you can find out anything if you talk to enough people.
Seems that the lads are flying to Japan to play the Sunwolves.
You'd think that they'd be going the direct route Perth-Hong Kong-Tokyo
This is usually about 13 hrs with some hangin' around in HK.
Maybe time for some quick games of 7s to sharpen the reflexes??
But no.
Seems that it was CHEAPER to leave Perth and fly to Sydney.
Hang around the airport lounge and then fly to Tokyo.
Played my rugby in Sydney - hate the place.
A cool 17 hrs travel duration.
That's gotta help the preparation for the game on Saturday.
Virtually wipes out today as a prep day.
No wonder the lads are doing it tough if this is typical.
I wonder what the CHEAP option will be to get them back home?
Did you notice that dean Mumm has come out admitted to infecting the squad with some baby bugs in Capetown before the Stormers game. Now it's all over the press. You'd reckon the Tahs would tell any story to help their cause. Still a good win in Capetown.
Hope we can do the same. The win not the baby bugs.
Just had it confirmed that the Force squad was hit with viral pneuomonia (up to 10 players) in NZ the week leading up to the Chiefs game.
Most of the bench were still crook on game day
Foles had to run out his best not his sickest until late in the game.
It seems that Foles is old school and doesn't believe in excuses.
Colds and flu are just part of travel and everybody is open to the same problems.
Seems also that Captain Fantastic, Hodgson, had been crook as a dog all week right up to the (Correction not Bulls) Waratahs game with severe gastro bug.
He'd lost lots of weight and active both ends.
No surprise that he was off his game a bit and came off at 60 minutes looking real sick.
Still had a bloody good game.
No comments as again 'no excuses' from Foles and Hodgson.
Explains why Hardwick was warming up when not in the named team.
I spose evrybody knows that any admin issues (membership, sponsorship, interface with clubs, newsletters etc) is all the CEO's (Sinderberry) responsibility. As is finalising contracts. Foles just looks after the playing/coaching aspects of the Club. He hasn't got the right to hire and fire ans Sindeberry has the final say (including chats with the ARU) on contracts.

MovinFwd are you working on behalf of the Force PR department.
I thought Hodgo looked more drawn and off colour than usual in the post game. Now I know why.

I'd say the flight via Sydney is due to Qantas being a commercial partner of ARU but I noticed that Qantas do have a codeshare with Japan Airlines so going via Singapore would be an option.
I also notice that flying via Sydney is an hour shorter in travel time.
