The interesting bits!

Introduction
The Western Australian Rugby League (WARL) has outlined a cultural and business vision, designed to
promote the game of Rugby League in Western Australia through to the year 2020.
This plan takes into account the changing economic environment, specific local challenges and the
opportunities afforded to the WARL to represent the interests of rugby league in WA.
The strategic planning process provided the opportunity to refocus and develop a professional and
profitable organisation built upon a solid base. This base focuses on two key areas:
• A Cultural Vision: to provide insight into the philosophy of the organisation and provide guidance on the
cultural expectations of all stakeholders within the WARL; and,

Media release:

The WA Rugby League has taken a huge step in its campaign for a team in an expanded National Rugby League with the release of its plan to take the game into the next decade.
The 2020 vision and strategic plan sets the league up for a national franchise in Perth for the first time since the demise of the Western Reds in 1997 during the Super League war.
The WARL plan has been more than two years in the making and incorporates a future NRL side and the local competition running hand in hand.
WARL chairman Richard Campbell is confident they are ready to win a new franchise, that they can guarantee the game's future and not leave the "vacuous hole" that was a legacy of the Reds.
"WA Rugby league has been planning for a long time and we are on track to deliver our bid when the Australian Rugby League Commission make any announcement," he said.
"The model we propose stacks up extremely well and looks after the code the way stakeholders want it. We must guarantee the future for all and not just the elite."

What is realistic imo:
The capacity and support to host a State of Origin or a National Team representative match in WA;
Developed self sustainable regional hubs in the North West, Mid West and South West.

what would be more realistic:
Participation of 5-7,000 senior and junior players;
A regular play off SG ball team
WA to maintain its hold on the affiliated states championship and have a larger NRL respresentative (maybe even tip its hand in with NSw or Q'land when it comes to SOO with Vic doing the same for the other state?)
WARL new HQ, training facilities and community stadium at Curtin Uni

but can't knock them for ambition! A lot will depend on how much the ARLC is willing to invest in the game in WA.

[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Don?t think this is very realistic, however hypothetically after yesterday?s announcement of the West Coast Pirates name change I would like to see a possible SOO team of WA use the Reds as there face.

Thoughts?

I love that idea.

I just want WA to keep the 'Reds' brand as part of its heritage and identity in some way.... So if we use it for Origin only; that would certainly make it a special feature of our state I think.... so I love the idea....

I think WARL should aimeing to get a seat on the commision like QRL and NSWRL instead of being refered to as part of the "Affilated States".
Yes that should be an obvious goal, and for the VRL as well.


A VIC v WA game would be a fairly good contest for years to come I would think?

VRL v WARL would be possible. I don't think it's realistic to expect the format of NSW v QLD SOO to change though.

i would love to one day see an Origin seerries featuring WA and Vic but thats a looooooooooooooong way away i think


the ARL should be propogating the game amongst the lesser states though and Origin would be the perfect platform for it and a Vic v WA fixture should be a curtain raiser to NSW v QLD Origin matches at least once per year rather than having the usual NSW Cops v Qld Cops as was scheduled for Game 2 a couple weeks ago

send the Cops out to Kogarah like they had to this year because of the wet conditions so they only had the one curtain raiser before Origin 2

how stoked would the Vic and WA players be to play and then sit in the players area to watch the Origin live

i remember years ago my old man taking me to the SCG to watch a Test match and seeing a NT team playing a curtain raiser and thinking how cool that would be
