Lolohea, Asquith and Meakes off. Spirit 9 playing very well. Lance knocks on 24 out from the Rams line, first mistake this arvo.

Rams bugger up an attacking move 3m out then give away two penalties. Spirit lineout on Rams 22m.

Someone drive Ravouvou back to the airport and send back to Fiji and can anyone please explain to me why Asquith has started the first 3 games while Walton who is infinitely more competent has warmed the bench?

Rams looked lazy and at times disinterested. Skelton was rubbish and Swain and Sheppard are two of the worst commentators I've ever heard including the guy from BarTV who would get a little too excited.

Was at the game - scoreline did not reflect how much more dominant and better spirit were.

No fluidity about RAMS game. Yes the gold medal 15 Fiji player offered absolutely nothing. Just seem to completely not how to get involved from the back and when he did it was pretty piss poor.

Asquith showed he is not a 10 and should go back to 15.

Skelton is ok at this level but that is about it - ok if was club level making the step up! If Cheika even thinks about selecting Skelton - even for the EOYT - would be just wasting a spot for someone with way more potential.

I thought the Spirit club players showed a lot of promise - good to see some talent coming through WA club ranks.

Thanks, RN, and pleasing that these blokes get a chance to play.

Any estimates of the attendance at Concord?

I think a few g&gr were at the game - but i would have thought 800-1000 and more leaning to 800.

bloody hell, Ravouvou arrived in the country this week, must have had 2 training sessions with the boys at best.. Give him a chance at least before demanding he be sent back to Fiji

I would agree with that - might sound strange to say but maybe better to get more involved at 10 then leaving him at 15.

Crowd probably 1,200 to 1,500, LOTS of girls aged from 7 to 16. Girls' 7s finals after the Rams match. Looked as if they're really into rugby, spose they want to be like their idols.

Also a lot of our friends from parts east of here. Had their own hospitality tents set up down the Parramatta Road end.

That's not bad. Hopefully they can build off that for the next two games.
