I like that idea too. I also like the idea of owning a panda farm. I'm not sure either will eventuate.

I'd love this to be a banana skin game, but I see the Force getting pumped by 30 in this one. I'm not sure there is a place on the field that a Force player would be picked over a Reds one.

Turn the clocks back and Force fans felt the same way about Brand O'Connor. I hope there is a bigger story to it than just the captaincy or just money, and I suspect there is. Let the decisions he makes from here test the mettle of the man.

Agreed. McIntyre was pretty terrible. I thought the Force attack worked better last year. I know Lance gave up a couple of penalties in the first week, but I've always thought he's alright.

Well that was shit.

I feel like a Waratahs fan.

I'm disappointed his mullet didn't off him more protection.

I have to admit I was surprised to see his name. Especially with the big recent focus on accountability and concussions. Do you reckon it is a ploy, Scooter? Name him in the team and then sub him out in the lead up to the game to throw off Force planning?

They gotta be injury selections. No way you'd pick Brache over Pulu, I'm expecting a conservative game from the Force.

I'm guessing by your tone you think it is unrealistic. Is it? There is a 2023 RWC and 2025 Lion Series. I'd be surprised if a handful of players- Skelton, Arnolds, Coleman, etc- wouldn't want to come back for a crack at that. Lions are effectively once in a lifetime unless you are 20-21 the...

You're holding out hope the Reds will give you the call up and Rodda would stand in the way?

I guess we'll see, won't we? Personally, I don't think you'll fare any better against the Reds and Brumbies at home, and you'd need to if you want to clinch second. Or hope that either the Force or Tahs pull off some upsets.

None taken. Who wouldn't want him. I know this sounds crazy, but I feel like we need him more than you do. I'd put your eggs in the Skelton basket. Failing that, make a play for a pair of Arnolds. How good would a back 5 of Arnold 1, Arnold 2, Swinton, Hooper, Hanigan be? Yeah I know Hanigan...

Gotta feel whoever wins this is shaping up for 3rd place.

Traditionally Force vs Rebels games aee decided by less than 7. I'd suspect whoever wins, wins by 3.

Yes. Thrush runs the 100 metres in 11 seconds. He's like a spring chicken. Michael Cheika described his line-out jumping as explosive. David Rennie is very impressed with McCauley. McCauley evidently covers 20 kilometres kn the 30 minutes he typically spends on the field. His tackle and runs...

I'm not exactly suggesting you do, just that I think you'd find a heck of a lot more support for it than you think if you only base it off what happens with the clubs. I don't think GRR will be resurrected, but if it did, it would be great to test the waters there.

It seems odd them waiting until players come out of quarantine before they are announced.

A lot of Force fans I know have no connection to the local competition. For most it is because they didn't grow up in Perth and never had a connection. We are a multicultural country. I don't see why NSW/Sydney couldn't be any different. Adding to that, I have no idea exactly what goes on in...

Hardwick is a great player. Nuggety. You can forgive someone for not getting more caps when he had Pocock and Hooper ahead of him for a fair whack and then was injured and out of form last year. McReight will be amazing at test level in years to come, but if I picked a team tomorrow to play a...
