Chiefs #86 (4/02/2010)
PS: I can't make the State Team this time due to other commitments, but I'll put my hand up instead to help with the apparently oh so precious & urgently needed website updating. If someone from the GASA committee can PM me or email me some details, I'll do it for you. Will need website log in & brief overview of info yo0u want posted. I'll work it out from there. Call me on 0418 589 300 or info@salsaconnection.com.au. Cheers. K#86. :-) BTW I wasn't criticising anyone just pointing out that there was no info on the website and hoping some would be posted here.
Cardiff Mets - Tiger Bay Warriors - London O's - Cardiff Cobras - South Wales Warriors - Southern Oilers...guess it's reffing next

Why the change of name from Fire to Swarm??? Think the Association needs to find one name and stick to it. Now I know it's only a name but with names come tradition etc.....Hopefully the new name will create some winning tradition. Good Luck SA!!!

Good Luck SA!!!I know this doesn't answer the question of why it was changed, but if you want a name with a winning tradition, change it back to Dragons. 1996 - National Champs.

What Chris said...
I understand the name was changed, as some said there was some things about the old team they didn't like - new team, new name... but sorry if this offends people, but the "Swarm" doesn't instil a lot of fire (pardon the pun, again) and brimstone into me...
Dragons was the best name, I believe and I didn't even play under that name. Fire was ok... even the Mud dogs would have been alright (Love Sax!)... in fact, the SA Mud Ducks was by far the funniest, but if you're looking for a name that is supposed to bring a "weight" behind it, then Dragons was a great name.
Is a honey pot our new mascot, by the way? 
Channo - you have to wear the honey pot around your neck for the tournament, this time... ;-)

State name is a tricky one....understand the change from the fire given the relatively recent victoria bush fire tragedies (and prior to that SA's).If you go back a little further Chris we were the Saints. Reference there of course to the city of churches. In my humble opinion if you want pride and tradition then the name should relate to SA and not some random and transient concept.

The SA Churches?
The SA Pubs?
The SA Malls Balls?
The SA Non-Convicts?
The SA Heaps Good Team?
I agree can usually a name would reflect the place the team represents, but sometimes that is a hard name to come up with.
And if that was the case, one example of the name not fitting the team - NSW Wolfpack? I don't recall ever seeing a wolf in NSW, nor there ever being any story or situation relating to one, thus making a wolf or wolfpack inherently reminiscent of NSW.
And weren't WA called the Warriors or something? (Sorry if it's wrong - can't remember)...
And pointing back home - The Adelaide 36ers in basketball... wtf do we have 36 of that is uniquely South Australian? >.<
My point is, that while a name that reflects the teams origin may be considered it's location, it could also be that the name reflects the teams origin in the sense of who they are, what they are trying to achieve, or what they use as inspiration.
