The South Sydney Rabbitohs are gearing up for their huge NRL competition match against the Melbourne Storm in Perth on Saturday 26 June 2010.
Some of the best players in the NRL will be on hand at ME Bank Stadium in round 16 of the Telstra Premiership, in the game presented by Suzuki, including current international stars from Australia, New Zealand and England as well as State of Origin representative players from both New South Wales and Queensland.
Current international players to be heading to Perth for NRL’s ‘Women in League’ round include former New Zealand captain Roy Asotasi (South Sydney), Australian vice-captain Cameron Smith (Melbourne), England’s Sam Burgess (South Sydney), the man rated as the world’s best player Billy Slater (Melbourne), New Zealand firebrand Issac Luke (South Sydney), the best centre on the planet Greg Inglis (Melbourne), plus Queensland and Australian representatives Michael Crocker (South Sydney) and Cooper Cronk (Melbourne).
Some people have suggested that Melbourne may take their foot off the pedal since the NRL handed down penalties for salary cap breaches last month, however South Sydney CEO Shane Richardson says that is not the case and the Rabbitohs will be ready to take on the might of Melbourne.
“The two games after they were stripped of their premierships they came out and put 40 points past their opponents. They aren’t holding back,” Mr Richardson said.
“And we won’t be either. We’re going over to Perth to take it to them and take home the two competition points. We won’t be another one of their victims.
“We hope that everyone in Perth comes out to watch two of the top teams in the NRL come out and go hell for the leather for the win.
“We’ll be in the middle of the State of Origin series so all the players will be playing for representative honours, and South Sydney will be playing for the valuable two points. We don’t need any more motivation than that.”
Mr Richardson says the Club is supportive of the Western Australian Rugby League’s bid for a team in the competition in the future.
“This is our second year coming to Perth and we’ve built a very strong relationship with the WARL, and we can see that they are building a strong bid to be part of the NRL,” Mr Richardson said.
“This is a real opportunity for the supporters of their bid to vote with their feet and show they want a team in the NRL by selling out this game.
“We’re behind Western Australia in their bid to have their own team, and we hope that the people of Western Australia will get behind us when we take on Melbourne in June.”

Can I say it???
Oh...just this once.
Thanks for that info, JB. You certainly do your bit for pushing the game in WA, I'll give you that.
Given the fact ME Bank walked out on the Storm (to be quickly replaced by more sponsorship from Suzuki and Jayco), will the ground be renamed in honour of the Storm for this match? Something like "We walk away from rugby league when the going gets tough" Stadium.

I also agree with that wholeheartedly.
It almost sums up my approach to TGG - but with respect to the entire game, not just the NRL. |

with some of you guys i just wish you would contribute some money into the game by purchasing tickets
me ive paid for over 500 games which ive been too.
RL needs more fans who put money into the game and less who put nothing
RL even needs less people who claim to be fans but then talk it down at every possible chance

I haven't paid to see a game of League since the 2004 season. NRL, Origin and Tests. Before that I was a season ticket holder and paid all the time. Some of us are granted that luxury by contributing thousands of hours come rain or shine to this great game. Others sit on forums pontificating as to who qualifies as a fan. |

You can't get enough.
And you know nothing about what anyone else here contributed or contributes to rugby league. |

Eagles, Dockers don't mind us: Rabbitohs
17:40 AEST Tue Apr 20 2010
Rabittohs chief Shane Richardson says Fremantle and West Coast are supportive of NRL games in Perth.
South Sydney chief executive Shane Richardson claims both Fremantle and West Coast are supportive of NRL games being played in Perth as the Rabbitohs look to increase their presence in AFL-mad Western Australia.
The West Australian Rugby League is campaigning to get a Perth-based team in the NRL by 2013 despite the past failure of the Western Reds.
The Rabbitohs have played a big part in increasing the profile of league in WA.
South Sydney attracted 15,197 fans when they hosted Melbourne in a regular season fixture in Perth last year and both teams will return to ME Bank Stadium in June to face off in round 16.
"This is not about a threat to the AFL and I've got to say we've had lots of discussions previously with Fremantle and West Coast and they've been nothing but supportive of ourselves over here," Richardson said in Perth on Tuesday.
"It's about giving an alternative to people who have an interest.
"You have a large population from the east coast that are supportive of rugby league.
"You have a large population from England.
"We understand the value of putting rugby league into this area and trying to re-establish it after what happened in the past.
"We're over here to promote rugby league and give a genuine alternative for people who like the rugby game."
Richardson revealed the Rabbitohs were aiming to play two home fixtures in Perth, back-to-back, in both 2011 and 2012.
"We've always wanted to play two games over here but we weren't able to because we haven't really got any support in doing that, so we had to do it all ourselves," he said.
"We'd like to play two games back-to-back here.
"Several things have got to happen there; we need support from the government to do that, not a lot of support but some, and we need support from the WARL.
"And the second thing, I think we need to make sure that we arrange for our NRL fixtures to allow us to ... get out to the Pilbara.
"We want to take our indigenous programs into the regional areas.
"We've proven we can do it now in Western Australia, we've proven that rugby league has an interest and there's a great opportunity to be able to expand that interest."
Richardson said the Rabbitohs would no longer play games in Perth once WA gets their own side.
WARL chief executive John Sackson said: "Having two of the NRL's heavyweight teams playing for vital competition points at ME Bank Stadium will again put the spotlight on the great game of rugby league in WA.
"A sell-out crowd will further enhance our prospects for an NRL franchise to be awarded to Perth in the lead up to season 2013."

I pay by being involved and as a result and get a NRL season pass. As I said I used to be a season ticket holder. Hope that qualifies me as a fan in your eyes. Like I care!

South Sydney chief Shane Richardson backs WA bid to return to NRL By DALE GRANGER From: The Sunday Times April 24, 2010
PERTH'S comeback to top-flight NRL competition has received a major boost with the backing of one of the code's leading administrators.
With the sport still reeling from the fallout of the Melbourne Storm salary-cap breaching scandal, the influential Shane Richardson, has thrown his support behind a Perth-based team's return to the top flight.
South Sydney Rabbitohs chief executive Richardson, the longest-serving administrator in the NRL, who also sits on the NRL's expansion committee, said of the Western Reds dumping after two seasons in 1994: "I think it was very unfair that Perth was cut.
"It was not that they weren't performing; it was all because of a political fallout in the Super League wars and they were sacrificed.
"The reality is that Perth has a big population, great corporate backing and a city that understands membership.
"They could get 18,000-plus people to a game in WA where you'd have a huge parochial following and a huge support base from New Zealanders and English expats that's growing every day. All the ingredients needed.
"I'd say they'd be able to compete from day one. All that a Perth team would need is financial backing and a sound business plan."
Richardson reassured league fans in Perth that the Rabbitohs' June 26 game against the disgraced Storm would still go ahead at ME Bank Stadium.
"I want to make it clear that we don't take our commitments lightly," he said. "We'll be there playing for two points and they'll be playing for pride."
While the sport still comes to grips with the aftershocks of the Storms censure, Richardson vowed that the show would go on.

"With the sport still reeling" is one or two steps from the familiar and discredited Frank Keatingism "rugby league is dying"...
Hopeless effort.
Don't pull the game down to try and promote yourself, WA.
Take a leaf, JB.

I'm confused as you turned your back on League and went to watch AFL? You've openly admitted that you did. |
