This is not a thread about expansion. Rather nostalgia.
Before there was the Storm, Rams, Mariners and Titans there was the boys from the west. The mighty Western/Perth Reds. Brought in as one of 4 new franchises in 1995 they had a successful first season missing the finals by a couple of points. Seeing as we just had a game in Perth this week and the Pirates bid fledging and moving forward I felt it was the right time to do a thread on them. So what were your favorite memories regarding the Reds? Do you or anyone you know own any merchandise or memorabilia? Attend any of their home or away games?
Firstly their first year squad was very decent, they upset St George in their first game and were the only one of 4 new sides to win on their debut. With Brad Mackay and Mark Geyer they had house hold names. Loved their ARL jersey, not so much their Super League jersey. Thought their original logo was cool. It's a real shame that they were cut. They probably wouldve been a side attracting 18k regularly and performing decent if they had stayed on. Share your Red memories, post pics, upload articles. Lets talk all things Reds.
