Good evening folks & welcome to Members Equity Stadium (a rectangular ground) for the first Mazda ARC match in Perth.
The crowd are pouring in (& the rain is pouring down!! Yes folks, it's a wet one tonight!).
The JB's crew caught the party bus although there were a few MIA (you know who you are!!). There was mention of 'pussy-whipping' but I didn't understand what that meant (sounds painful & not very pleasant).
15 mins to kick-off & players are warming up on the rectangular (did I mention that) pitch!!
More later...
Heya Jedi, will be great to get the live input but don't get too woried about the details of scorers etc as I can keep up that end with the RWA updates if you miss it.
You may not have heard on the ground as yet Kiti Fuluna comes onto the bench for an injured Scott Fardy.
From RWA: "Toss won by Western Sydney Rams and will kick off running north. 5 minutes 'til we get started now."
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Rams kicked off, rain has stopped & pitch looks in great condition. Plenty of hands in the first ruck...oh, that's right, you can do that now!!!
Live update from TG - on the mobile mate - Penalty to Perth Spirit 10 out, Lineout - Henjak Penalised for stomping: penalty Lambs - SCORE 0-0
Score 0-0
Gerry estimates crowd at 2500. Weather may have scared off a lot of punters
there is also a suspicion that the Referee doesn't appreciate the Perth Spirit

"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
From Sportal, 0-0 after ten minutes. RWA hasn't even "kicked off" yet![]()

Rams seem to have brought ref over with them - couple of dodgy decisions against Fava & Bam-Bam (as if!!!).
One issue we have is the stadium music during breaks in play...Aussie or something more recent than 1979 would be good!!![]()

Cam Shepherd scores the 1st try for the Perth Spirit!!! Go Cam!!!
Nice move from an attacking scrum & straight through hands.
Cam converts his own try.
22 mins gone: Spirit 7 - 0 Rams.
ABC TV Sport on, imagine there will be a live cross in a sec...
Welcome back Shep!!!

From the ground, it's good to see that full-strength beer is on offer (& no minimum quantities), TEF even ordered a G&T!!! Wine is served in plastic goblets - no Riedel crystal on offer here (but then it's not Barwick on offer!!!)
Lambs attack appears to be in effective
tons of short arm penalty, the Sella Artios Laws are working a treat, makes the play very exciting
Lambs final make some in roads in attack, but Spirit defensive looks strong
Greasy ball making it difficult for both teams
