Until now I like the fact that in the "gone list" there's nobody I'd like to keep, except Brown. Hope it is so until the squad is done. According to the Herald Sun, Brache and Heiberg are already signed...

And that's really all we can say about the Force this year. Anyway, I'm expecting a good effort in the last game.

So, I've just found out the Force have signed a handful of South-African players: - Chris Heiberg, prop, from Stormers - Wilhem Steenkamp, lock, from Bulls - Marcel Brache, wing/fullback, from Stormers Considering that they're not young prospects, they don't have many Superrugby caps (except...

A top player with such a talent without a contract, he must have really done something weird. Now it seems the Force could be interested (no official offers at the moment, though) but as a Force fan I believe he could slow down the developement process of players like Holmes and Godwin we expect...

I don't see Cummins as the most balanced Wallaby winger available for the second test. His defence is not always perfect and more than once I saw someone throwing him a dummy and creating a hole, while Tomane should be a more reliable defender and, plus, n.11 is the position he's specialized at...

I read the news a couple of days ago, but I admin I don't know him well. What about him?

Considering that Deans is very stubborn sometimes, I guess (and fear) he sees the same backline as the first test, the only obvious exceptions beign Tapuai instead of AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Mogg instead of Barnes.

This backline looks like a big improvement compared to this year's one, both Holmes and Morahan are way better than the players we have in these positions now. We only need a reliable 13 and there'll be no excuses for poor backline tactics. I have said for a long time Force should target...

Interesting match. Maybe the last chance for an Australian franchise to beat the Lions. The Brumbies had to name unexperienced players in the first row (22 years old on average if I'm not wrong) that will probabily struggle at scrums. Then we have Leon Power in the starting line-up who didn't...

It seems the Gods of Sport punished the Force: low attendance, bad game and a loss home against the Waratahs B team.

I agree. It was simply too easy for them to beat the Force, nobody can say how strong they are until the series against the Wallabies.

Needless to say, I'm very disappointed about the choice to line up a team full of reserves and players we'll see with the Force jersey on just for this game. And they booked a 43,000-seat stadium to do that o_O Moreover there's no guarantee the 'tahs will play with their weaker side next friday...

I wonder if there's a sense in ruling a player like CTM out for the entire Superrugby season without providing any explanation to us supporters, and then letting him win his first cap against the Lions. :eek: Agree, and it's very annoying. A cery clever trick, indeed, given our position in the...

The problem is that we're talking about rumors, I think nobody knows for sure whether Force management decided to play the game with a "B" side. Anyway, the B&I Lions squad to face the Force has been named, at least they didn't decide to play with a "B" side

I agree. People like Stanley, Stubbs, Tupou plus unknown guys coming from Sydney clubs could fill the positions in the line-up above. p.s. I wonder if CTM will be there

That would be very very disappointing.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the match against the Lions, hopefully Foley puts on the field the best he can regardless of the game against the 'tahs. We have no chances of making the play-offs and a prestigious win would be more than welcome, I guess. We beat the Reds, then the...

Imo Force don't need Beale. It is a important for us to keep off-contract players like Faulkner, Cummins, Dellit and Rasolea. Once done this, the only position in the backline where I'd have more depth is n.13, where there could be potentially lot of options. I guess handy players like Mike...

I don't think Force have such a weak backline or Rebels have a weak defense. The explanation could be more complicated. Writing down the Rebels and Force backlines side by side, we have: 11 Cummins/Mitchell 12 Godwin/Sidey 13 Jacobs/Inman 14 Dellit/English 15 Hayward/Woodward In fact the...

There are really no words for him. He's impressive and keeps improving game after game. Just give him the ball and he's over the advantage line, somehow. Hopefully Force can build a solid backs' pack around him in the next years. Talking about the match, it's getting frustrating to lose always...
