I think when he went OS after the Tahs he went to Europe and there was talk of him following his Italian heritage and playing for them.

Looks like Force going to have serious competition soon with Perth all but officially announced as NRL team.
What's the local rugby league standard like, is it deep, multiple clubs etc?

Don’t think the NRL cares about these things.
Right, fair enough.... Could anyone that actually knows offer a response?
I guess I was sort of wondering what sort of base the NRL would be pulling from going forward. I understand that strong junior pathways go a long way to sustained success in that sport.

I have a league club right near me and they get a smattering of punters at a game on Saturday arvo, but the crowds and general support of the rugby comp here in Perth is considerably greater. League hardly gets a mention.

Grabbed this picture of the WF Instagram site.
Six WF players at a Rehab Session at North Cott Surf Club.
I think these are the only players being treated for more than just a "niggle"
They all appear to be coming on well.
Bayley Kuenzle - Knee (Really like the smile. Looking forward to his return next year)
Vaiolini Ekuasi (I think) - ?
Reesjan Pasitoa - Shoulder (looked good on Tuesday)
Kane Koteka - Hamstring (looked good on Tuesday)
Mitch Watts - Niggle (as put in a full training session with Sth Africa squad last Tuesday)
Atu Moli - Hips (Looked good on Tuesday)
I continue to be impressed by the rehab/recovery program at the WF as the young men and women appear to be looked after extremely well.

I know the S&C coach - a good man with a very sensible head on his shoulders.

Unless that's an old picture I don't think it's Ekuasi - he turned out for Auckland in the NPC yesterday:
