Personally a/man I think it'll be close to a sell out. there's lots coming over from the east for it and there's no shortage of ex-NSW and Qld people living in WA.

Do forum members think that the WA public will take this game on board and turn out in droves to see it, or will the stadium be filled with those supporters from NSW and QLD, where the game,RL, that is,is mainly payed?
Will WA ever forgive both rugby codes for the reaming out the state has had from both bodies of the sport.
Will any one on here go?

The Western reds were a victim ofMurdoch.

Over 11,000 to watch the Force and Samoa last Saturday night I believe.

A free ticket wouldnt get me in to this rubbish, doesnt hold a candle to Australian rules. The only thing to admire is the speed, power and strength of the athlete, but skill wise doesnt grab me

II'll be sorting out my sock draw while this is on

Could not give a rats arse , its has a total of Zero to do with WA.

Its entirely a Eastern states thing,,NOTHING to do with WA.

Bazza if I were to call you say a "doddering old buffoon" it would not provide any support to my point of view. The fact is that there is significant support of the Western Force in Perth. The fact is that they are supported financially by one of the richest men in Australia.

The State of Origin rugby league matches are some of the highest rating sports on Australian tv.
