There are kiwis in the State of WA??? :shock:

 

[Nuke]

Are you kidding?
You have to be, surely.

Nope but from what I can take from your reaction, there are plenty.:crazy:

 

[Nuke]

Yep. Plenty!
I would say that over half the WARL players are kiwis or islanders of some description. There are plenty more in WA who aren't associated with League. A fair few -I gather- work in the mines.

 

[Alehana]

what was the result?

 

[Nuke]

Perth City won by a few tries. I forget the score. I'm sure it'll be on the WARL website (www.warugbyleague.com.au).

Perth Kiwis won the ladies game 14-4 I think I was told.

PERTH CITY TRIUMPH OVER KIWIS
In the ninth annual Anzac Game between Perth and Kiwis the Perth side won for the first time in three years, taking out the match 26 to 18. In the history of the game, the Kiwis still have the edge holding a six to three advantage.
The game selects the best teams from the state competitions pitting Australian born and New Zealand born players lining up against each other in a match that also serves as a major pre selection opportunity for the senior state squad. The state squad will be announced in the next week with the side preparing for another national title bid in June in Victoria.
Both sides started with some deep attacking moves in the first four sets but it was the Perth side though Ben McCrone at the 10 minute mark who put on the first score on the board. It was answered 3 minutes later by Sam Jacobson for the Kiwis which leveled the score at 6 all.
The crowd were brought into the action with some typical trans Tasman rivalry during this time with a couple of fired up players pushing the rules a little resulting in Anthony Jefford of the Kiwis being sin binned for 10 minutes.
The first half saw many unforced errors from both sides allowing simple opportunities to arise. It was Perth who was able to capitalize on these chances by keeping the pressure up by quick ball movement against what seemed a flat footed Kiwi outfit.
The ball handling problems would have been partly due to the players still being in pre season phase, but also the pressure of state places being up for grabs.
Further tries in the half came from Alex Dickinson and Daniel Jennings with the half time score at 16 to 6.
The second half looked like being a long one for the Kiwis with Peter Worth putting over a try after 2 minutes then Jack Greenwood with a 60 metre run and a clever side step at the end to put another try under the posts.
With a score line of 26 to 6 the Kiwis finally started to dig deep to call on some of the pride that was missing. The team lifted and at the 20 minute mark they got back some control.



Waiske Volaya used strength to run through a try and was backed up by Blair Wilson at the 32 minute mark, but it was too little too late.
With a final score line of 26 to 18, Tyron Cranston scored 3 goals for Perth and Ben Dickson with 2 and Wirremu Paui with 1 were the goal scorers for the Kiwis.
Best players for Perth included Luke Walker, Daniel Jennings, Daniel Sneddon and James Fairbank with The Kiwis best being Waiske Volaya, Ben Dickson and Jeremy Browne.

where did I say perth aussies? i never suggested they couldnt be involved because they were poms.
you still upset about your junior reds idea getting shut down?

wasnt having ago, just letting people know about the aussie-city thing you dickhead

 

[Nuke]

I can see Black & Gold isn't making too many friends around here!
To be honest mate, you seem to be bringing this all upon yourself. I'm also not having at you, but I'd suggest making comments that you're not having a go at someone then calling them a dickhead (or any name for that matter) in the same sentence isn't going to help your cause.

 

[b0rt]

wasnt having ago

didnt say you were

you dickhead
