The WA Reds are a rugby league football club based in Perth, Western Australia. They are currently controlled by the Western Australia Rugby League, and have a junior team in the S. G. Ball Cup Competition.
Founded in 1992 as the Western Reds, they entered into the Australian Rugby League competition in 1995. They continued for two seasons before defecting to the rival Super League competition in 1997, where they rebranded themselves as the Perth Reds. However, by the end of the year the Reds had become a casualty of the Super League War peace deal and were shut down. The Reds entered a state of limbo for the next decade but were revived as a lower-level club in 2006 by the WARL and ARL, under the name WA Reds.

Famous quotes containing the word reds:
“Holly Golightly: You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds?
Paul: The mean reds? You mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No, the blues are because you’re getting fat or maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of.”
—George Axelrod (b. 1922)
