Watch the WA boys this year, they are coming with a full complement of dudes now that they got all the politics out of it.
I can tell you that this year is going to be the best Nationals ever! Gridiron has been growing leaps and bounds the last few years and is going to be getting bigger from the people showing interest and with the world games coming up again, I am sure that Australia will have another team and will be giving a good show.
I believe that there are 9 adult teams in Perth now, with some clubs having a "b" squads as the numbers are just so high. Then you have the Juniors which is running 5 teams.
Anyway, anyone up for giving Gridiron a go should, as its a great sport and not easy, and the way most Aussies like a great national team to compete on the world level, this should give you enough motivation to get to know the game and get out there and smack some heads around and take no prisoners!
Cheers
