Trial games

[robyn <3]

I've heard nothing on this front, starting to think Graham hasn't organised any pre-season games for us this year? We normally get two, and they've been fantastic. Any idea why?

[Darren]

None in Perth this year! 2 against various flavour of Waratahs, one against a Brumbies type team and one mystery game against "Barbarians" - who ever they may be ?

[BDAVEY]

they will regrat that.... we need a game here in Perth to get the members fired up and tuned into the season !!! a marketing tool to lure new members.... new players to get a feel for the NIB ground....

[normie]

Bugger. I was kind of thinking that a pre-season game against the Crusaders would become a tradition.

[antiussentiment]

Yeah.. what a clown show..

how do we not rate a shakedown game?

~sigh~

[WA sport fan]

That is unfortunate.

That is unfortunate.

I see we have a mungo sent from the east to infiltrate our ranks

Just hoping for a bit of mungo niggle

The off season is way too long. I'm a bit twitchy

I hate cricket, especially the current line up of Clarke's gimps

I noticed yesterday that mungo HQ put out a media statement that there would be no new minileague teams until 2017. Great news

Rock on

No preseason game in Perth?!

Damn that is a little pathetic really!

Force vs Saders preseason would be an awsome tradition!

Maybe they will realise their mistake and listen to the supporters on here!

It costs an arm and a leg to actually bring other teams here. The Crusaders even wants apearance money

The Force managed to actually save money by playing the trail games away.
When at home it is train train train and then go home but when on the road there is more leisure time where the guys can spend time time knowing each other especially the new guys in the squad gets time to bond with the core group.
So it might be bad for the supporters to not have a home trail but for the Force it is an advantage not to have one. Hopefully this will help us to be spectators of 8 home game wins!!

It's a very long season
Trials shmials

[travelling_gerry]

Maybe the Crusaders thought we were getting too good a look at them.

That wasn't a Media statement from the NRL HQ, it was one NRL clubs CEO opinion. Also he was taken out of context if you looked at the article and not just the headline.

It was poor journalism.
