    More moving the force stuff..

    So I got around to watching Rugby 360 last night.

    I hear Phillip Kerns say, among other things, that everything in The Force needs to be chucked out and started again. A few weeks ago there was the cuffuffle about moving them to Western Sydney. at which point Georgie Parker (the jurno', that is her name right?) said Western Force fans were rusted on.. We would supposedly follow our team anywhere....

    I think it's bloody amazing that a team that is so badly run and does so bloody poorly for so long still gets crowds of about 10 000 every home game to have their hearts broke..

    But if the force move, I'll drop them like a kitten with diarrhea.. In fact I'll not even adopt another Australian team. As a Force fan I've learned to see all the other Aussie teams as the enemy.. The teams we have to beat first..

    Nope, I'm pretty sure the Sweetheart and I will become Wellington fans. You got to love a city that (possibly) still has trolley buses.

    What say the rest of you? Will you still support them if they become The Westy Force?

    If the Force go, I'll see if there is a membership option for the Perth Spirit; plus I'll look for SunWolves overseas membership.

    Actually, that would be pretty cool too.

    I'd be dropping them and not picking another team. Let's hope that never occurs.

    Much like when the Western/Perth Reds died I didn't follow another NRL team and won't ever until a WA team comes in.

    Or the Asia Pacific Dragons if they ever get dragged into the comp.

    I'm with you antisuss, but I won't drop them - I'd gently put them down. And yep, there'd be no other aussie team for me.

    If they move to Western Sydney I would be considering cashing in my Foxtel subscription, because watching Super Rugby is the only reason I maintain it.

    It would save a heap of money though!

    If they moved to Adelaide I might still follow them; although I doubt I'd go to as many matches as Ox has been to in Perth.

    If they went to Western Sydney to become the Waratahs B team, I'd consider that an ultimate betrayal by the ARU.

    You can console yourself with the fact you'll at least be able to watch the Mungos on FTA. Plus, with all the money you save on subscriptions you can go to watch Souffs at NIB. You can even ketch up with your Mooloo mates et the Tist Metch too bro.

    Have a look at the Highlanders v Crusaders game today. That's how you play rugby. The crowd (the Zoo) in Dunedin were awesome. Observe learn and implement that and your on the path to success.

    Yes they were very good. Attacking skills top drawer. The most impressive was how they coped with the YC period.
