Nope. RugbyWA (that is, the local clubs) pay them to play in the Sydney comp.

Go figure.

[zimeric]

we should adopt a Sydney club and have all the force players play in the one team
maybe Warringah seeing as we already have 5 there

[Homer J]

Warringah still lost.

I think the Toohey's New Shute Shield is abit better quality than the Western australian competition and its probably better for the players to be playing in a tougher comp.
Went to Concord Oval to watch Warringah play West Harbour and the match was drawn 28 all. West Harbour had all the decisions go there way, they had probably 70 to 75% of the ball but the defence of the Rats was very good. Of note 3 players from the rats were sinbinned and they were all Force players, Pek Cowan, Tom Hockings and Brett Sheehan. The main reason why they got sinbinned was because of the poor referreing.
I've got to say the rats defence was very good because they spent basically the whole second half defending. All the current and former Force players went well, Luke Holmes continues to play well and Brett Sheehan and Sam Harris's dominates in the mid field is pretty obvious. Sheehan is playing very well at 10 and Harris very well at 12.
I did notice John Mitchell came and watched the match and he would have been inpressed with the Force players.
