Views on the recent tour game in Perth from the NSW Country Bulls. Remarkable result when you consider the difference in depth of players between the WARL and the NSW Country leagues. Goes to show sometime it is quality more than quantity!
Perth is a great place to tour with first class facilities and training venues. The highlight was playing prior to the Warriors and South Sydney game. By half-time in the Western Australia v Country Bulls clash there were close to 5000 people in the grand stands supporting WA in particular.
The most pleasing outcome of the week was the realisation that Western Australia can field a strong competitive side at this level, justifying touring a Country Representative squad. A return tour by the Western Australian team would certainly benefit both sides, and draw a great crowd in a Regional Country area
Coaching staff and players were unsure what to expect from the untested Western Australia side, but any doubts were dispelled in the opening ten minutes, they were very enthusiastic displaying plenty of skill especially through the middle with a big mobile pack of forwards.
Half time Bulls 24 - WA 12
Final Score Western Australia 36 def. Country Bulls 30
