Still haven't a clue
Being originally from WA and prior to joining the Airforce in the late 80's I never knew the game of Rugby existed .. sure didn't exist or was heard of in Perth back then. The first introduction I got to the game was back in 1989 in WAGGA during trade training about a month before the first State of Origin match when the QLD's and NSW's members started this banter .. anyone from WA, SA, NT or TAS just watched in amusement. This tribal banter went on for a month after the third final game. QLD's and NSW's would crowd into one of the trainees rooms to watch the game. The PTI's tried to teach the WA members a watered down version called Touch but in the words of the Vulcan .. the game was illogical.
To this day the time old question remains ... Why would you throw a ball backwards when moving forward?
