Ha! The same thing that inspired yours. Great question. Love your work Sir.

And tomorrow is the 3rd last round of the normal season:

 

[tiger_one]

West Harbour had a 17 points all draw with the Manly Marlins last Saturday, which means that, with only 2 rounds of the normal season to go, the Pirates cannot make the semis this year.

So many close games, hardly any blow-outs but the results did not fall our way.
Did someone mention the refs? haha
What a ride so far, and it's not over yet.

Thanks 4 all your updates on here @tiger_one
One hell of a ride for our pirates this year mate.

Good result to hold the Marlins to a draw away from home. Sounds like so near but yet so far.
As we continually say on the forum “there’s always next year”!

Yes, I’m heading out with a mate to see if the Wobblies can improve. Lots of changes but still can’t see us getting over the AB.

Have a great time.
Hope the new coach brings a few trix.

And West Harbour play their second last game for the year at Concord tomorrow - The Hunter Wildfires have been a very good team throughout the year.

Tough night at the office, but (1) loved watching the Kiwis, they're a level up, and (2) still confused by referees!

Well, who would have guessed?
Another close loss to the Pirates.
Hunter Wildfires 31 beat West Harbour Pirates 26.
This would have to be the most frustrating season .........

PS have to say I loved the try by Karawalevu, sure only an intercep but what about the flair!

Yes, Wallabies tried hard but ABs( as usual) iced the key moments. Can’t see us going very far in France. Our best imo was the No 8, huge game.
Yes, well the less said about ALL referees the better !

Angus Bell huge as well for the Wobs. We did
look good for 25 minutes. Set peice let us down..
3 attacking lineouts in their 10 turned over.
Should have kept Laurie Fischer. Hodgson
As defensive coach was a terrible decision too

Good luck to the Pirates. They deserve it after all these close losses. Parra definitely beatable, and will make for a better end of season drink !
