3 home games out of 9? The way I'm thinking is that the decision-makers at WA Reds HQ agreed to this because it'd be a way to recruit East Coast 18yr olds to play for the WA Reds without having to relocate across to the other side of the country -into virtual obscurity from NRL clubs. This way the Reds can have a more competitive team but without having to co-erce kids to leave their families, friends, and lives behind in NSW.

Plus it'd save having to worry about how many are going to turn up to watch them play over here (not many would be my guess I'm afraid) and would save money with reduced amounts of airfares. I would think -for the 6 weeks they're playing every week in NSW- they'd be based over there.

Will be very tough for them but best of luck. I still am confused to what they think this will lead to and still think a Bundy cup team would have been better but good luck Reds.

 

[joondalup_giant]

it will be hard for them 2 gel as a team with players being based in NSW, so dont know how they'll get over that hurdle

 

[Nuke]

I think that's probably why they have 6 straight weeks of games in NSW. There's the first game over here, which was probably only arranged for over here because it's a way to get their name to as many WA League supporters as possible (to play before an NRL game). There's also the final 2 games over here, possibly to balance out the home:away games ratio a little bit. This would also benefit the few WA-based players too, to have consecutive games in WA.

I think they are going to have a trial game this week for the potential players - venue possibly north beach.

Reds beat the Bulldogs 38-20

i went down n watched most of the game, when i left they were down so good to see them fight back and win. The bulldogs side probably only had 3 geniune 1st graders in it, the rest looked like under 18s and some Reds hopefuls.

it was really windy so obviously the kicking game from both sides struggled - accept for a kick from reds halfback which resulted in a try from a freakish bounce!

was impressed with the Reds fullback and wingers, they seemed to do alot of work especially gettin outta there own half

 

[j5o6hn]

Balmain were eliminated in the opening round of the finals last year,so they from my limited knowledge a good side

 

[albert]

With a big crowd looming on Sunday what an experience for these teams.
I would suggest that they would never play in front of as many people at such a young age.I bet there nerves will be right up there.
Good luck to the Junior Reds I hope you do our state proud.

 

[SuperSoward]

Well they took 2 from the East Coast because they are in my team. But one has been cut because he rolled his ankle. Quinlan is still there though.
