Force v Tahs wooden spoon battle?

[liquor box]

Yep force season not over just yet. One small blessing is they can rest, get some injured players back over the next few weeks and give the Lions a massive welcome to country for game 1.
would assume they will lose tizz, donno and maybe potter?
Will HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) (Harry Johnson-Holmes) be back for the Lions game?

I would take Tizzano, Donaldson, Swain, Williams and Dolly.

I would love Swain and Williams in gold, I think they are the best at disrupting opponents lineouts and while I don't think they are necessarily as good as some other second rowers I think this disruption will be vital against the Lions.

Swain and Williams have been the best all-round second rowers of any Oz team this year and should be in gold. Not sure if Dolly will qualify for Lions, think he becomes eligible later in the year. Potter should be in the mix but think he will be behind Kellaway, JAS, Daugunu and Jorgensen (not my order just what I think Joe's order will be) in the selection queue.

Also don’t think Dolly seems close to a Test Hooker. Throws well but everything else is pretty average. Only in the chat because we don’t have 1 distinct weapon in the spot.

Faessler, Pollard, BPA, Porecki I think edge him. He may be 4th on a good day.

Any idea what injuries the Force have who are likely to come back for the Lions - Force game?

Hear that every year.

4-5 wins incoming but Cron rattles out all the terms to get old cauliflowers ears tingling.



Records should decide that right?

Cron’s Darren Coleman with a few more media training sessions.

“Hear that every year”… without hope there is nothing! To be honest, have heard that from the Tahs administration far more. Plus they had the Rebels to boost their squad this year, have an extremely beneficial match schedule and only won last night through a ridiculous law that sees a try being awarded with zero control and a microorganism of a skin cell in contact with the ball!

Everyone woo up - every Aussie team is as shit as each other.

“We will be better next year” should be printed on all Wallabies and Aussie SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) jerseys until we win something of significance.

Also don’t think Dolly seems close to a Test Hooker.

I mean, it’s not like he’s capped for an other country… oh wait…

he’s ineligible in any case.

We clearly have not cut enough stuff. Need to cut more playing staff, more development officers, more teams.

I personally think we enter the Wallabies as the sole Australian team into SRP (Super Rugby Pacific). Think of the Darwin Cohesion Levels. Instoppable.

From Tahs admin sure, they have to say that but fans are far more realistic about being shit. Bell not being around next year and fuck knows who's the 10 already has them in my eyes at best a 6-7 win team.

My point is I don't think the Force (regardless of pointing at other sides) are making meaningful steps forward but we keep patting them on the back mostly because I think the NSW, QLD & ACT supporters don't actually ever fear dominating them. It's a better roster top tier talent wise then 2023 but less wins. Blooded nobody so who knows if the kids are up to it for next year. Look at the Brums giving time to Thorn. Not sure he's long term Super Rugby player but the Brums have sighted him to find out more info. They have got heaps of time into a very raw Shaw who will be better for it as Neville looks to be almost done.

Force need to bring guys through and hold them for longer periods. This is Crons group now. Took over in 2023 and there's only 9 of 38 players still there. They are all heart and play through the 80 which not all sides do which is a good sign.
