NRL Challenge 2,000+

[KalgoorlieRed]

WE NEED A MINIMUM OF 2,000+ PEOPLE SIGNING THE PETITION AT EACH OF THE TWO REMAING REDS GAMES ​

​

CAN WE COUNT YOU IN? ​

​

BETWEEN THE TWO GAMES THAT WILL BE A TOTAL OF 4,000+ WHO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO MR GALLOP?​

​

As you are probably aware, David Gallop came out on the Footy Show last week and stated that Perth “isn’t ready” for an NRL team and that they should focus on the “Heartland” of NSW and QLD, etc, etc.

Like a lot of West Australians, this did little to increase our love of the “wise men from the east” but, after letting it sink in, it has actually prompted us to work even harder to prove them wrong.

The bottom line is we need to give them a demonstration of support that they simply can’t ignore and we have the perfect opportunities to do that via our remaining two WA REDS games.

We need to get a level of support at these two games that makes the ARL and the NRL stand up and take notice once and for all and we are challenging any person who calls themselves a genuine Rugby League fan to put the two dates below aside, put away all the excuses and STAND UP TO BE COUNTED!

Come along to both of the last two games and BRING YOUR FRIENDS!

You will be handed a petition at the gate to sign and hand back in and from those signed forms we will draw the winner of a fully signed and framed WA Reds Jersey plus some other great prizes to be drawn at the last game.

Another comment by the all knowing “boffins” in the east was that the Reds would not win one game in our debut season. Well, we have won 6 and will probably finish the season with a few more plus we have only ever been beaten by a substantial margin on one occasion and have just missed out through inexperience (and a ridiculous penalty count) on several other occasions.

The team is playing absolutely fantastic and their confidence is back on a high but they need your support and they need it now. Just as importantly, we have to get a very strong message across to David Gallop and anyone else over there who refuses to take WA Rugby League seriously.

Those who made the trip to North Beach last weekend saw a great game between the Sea Eagles and the Sharks and then one of the best Jim Beam Cup games of the season between the Reds and the Marlins and had a taste of genuine atmosphere and spirit that has been missing from Members Equity Stadium games and I’m sure they will be back for more.

On the 16th August Rockingham Sharks will host the Reds at Lark Hill Sports Complex. For those who haven’t been there yet it is an impressive venue and we will be doing it up to fit the occasion. This will be an amazing day and the Reds are playing the Sydney Bulls, the team they beat in the pre season trial but who are now favourites for the Grand Final.

Then on the 23rd of August we will repeat the dose with the game being hosted by the South Perth Lions at George Burnett Park, Manning against the Cabramatta Blues and more details on this will be available shortly.

OK, so there’s the challenge – if you are genuinely serious about having your own NRL team in the future and putting us in a position to bid for the next opening in 2011 – 2012 then please don’t think it can happen without your support.

Now is the time to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED and the way to do that is come along to the above games and bring as many friends as possible.

WE NEED A MINIMUM OF 2,000+ PEOPLE SIGNING THE PETITION AT BOTH GAMES ​

​

CAN WE COUNT YOU IN? ​

​

WILL YOU BE ONE OF THE COMBINED 4,000+ AT BOTH GAMES WHO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO MR GALLOP?​

I didn't read it all, but is this just for West Aussies or RL supporters in general?

 

[Eels Dude]

Yeah, seems a bit pointless to post it in the forum. Oh yeah I forgot, everything about a Perth rugby league team has to be posted in here.

Nice try but it won't work

Hey, prove me wrong.

 

[The Colonel]

I didn't read it all, but is this just for West Aussies or RL supporters in general?

If half the signatures are from people outside WA how does it make the Western Australian public ready for a rugby league team?

 

[coolumsharkie]

Give it a rest, I'm sick of you whingin' Westerners. You've had one year in the NSWRL, so have a bit of patience FFS!!!

 

[adamkungl]

I hope this is advertised in the local newspapers and such, not just a forum that might include a few WA people

hehe I was just wondering why it was posted in NRL as opposed to the WARL forum. Good stuff though, best of luck to the Reds.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Yup dude, thats because we don't have a team, yet people who do don't really give a to$$ about everyone else! I'm alright jack! :x

Worst post ever.

What do you mean? Im a Warriors fan... always have been, even if I live in Melbourne. Did your post have a point? Or was the "worst post ever" comment a cover for failing to make a point? :roll:

Well done to those who set this up. Great initiative.

 

[coolumsharkie]

:lol:

I did.

 

[albert]

I think the whole point of putting it on the NRL forum was to show how much we love our LEAGUE here in the west.Also show that what we are trying to achieve to have a team over here.:?:?

 

[Perth Red]

excuse us for thinking that RL FANS may be interested in the quest to expand the game and get RL back into a place where currently AFL, RU and Soccer rule!
