    Western Force Haka

    With all the hype over the New Zealand Haka I could not help but imagine how intense it would be to have a Haka of our own. Imagine before every game the Force getting out there and performing a war dance! Subiaco would lift and the boys would be pumped. Could this idea ever be incorporated into the Force or does the Super 14 not allow such things?

    Anyways a great topic of discussion, what do you think?

    PS: No spelling mistakes

    It'd just be 15 guys waving chequebooks wouldn't it? Not very scary.

    It'd be a cool idea, it'd only ever be seen as a rip off though.

    It's a valid idea Shaun however, personally, I think it would be a manufactured gimic rather than anything of genuine passion. More like Waltzing Matilda than Ka Mate.
    Until we have a majority local born squad I think the Force will just need to gain respect and an "aura" the old fashioned way, by playing eighty minutes of fearsome rugby with a deafening crowd behind them.
    Nice spelling

    Haha yeah, it is quite like when the Island sides do their version of the Haka, It does not have the same intensity as the Original.

    Thanks regarding the spelling

    But I would like to see some pre- game entertainment, like cheerleaders or something

    I reckon, the cheerleaders go out and jelly wrestle and the force players line up and chuck stubbie holders at the opposition.

    That is of course my preference

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
