Shiggins will have seen some positives :)

The time has come. With a winning percentage of 29% including the anomaly season in 2014 with 9 wins, the start of season 2016 proves comprehensively that Michael Foley does not have the skills to recruit, train and coach a side to win at this level. With some genius having signed up Foley till...

Ok, I'll do it.

So Who is starting the Sack Michael Foley thread?

And that kind of reinforces my point about letting Michael Foley make important decisions about rugby related matters.

Gagger is right about one thing but wrong about the reason. Our main problem is that we can't attract talent. But it's not geographic. Most people who move to Perth love it. It's the coach. Why would you choose to play for a guy who is going to A) harm your development And B) lessen your...

How about "Playing for the Points*" *Dawes, Darling and Miller

Godwin has done nothing special for two years. This is his year to either make it or break it.

And Hodgson. And I'm secretly torn about Hodgson as a Force fan. He plays above himself every week, but also quietly embodies what is wrong at the Force.

Do you think Rasolea or Brache would start in any other Super team?

Had to happen. Right or wrong, you can't threaten to bring down the organisation you head. He's obviously cracked under pressure.

^^^ Which is why I didn't offer a solution. I don't know what it is. Whatever it would be would be deeply complicated. Involving potential financial top ups paid to disadvantaged clubs, maybe extra squad spots and extra marquee spots. Maybe money paid to grass roots or even extra help...

I've said it once I've said it a thousand times. Our players aren't good enough. And we can't attract better ones because we don't have a coach they want to play for.

Now we're getting somewhere. I don't personally agree with a draft either, but I also believe it couldn't hurt to try and offer a pathway, for young unsigned players only. I don't think it would be wise or successful to force established players to move where they don't want to. The Elephant...

If the NBA can enforce a draft in the most litigious/personal freedom driven society in the world, I think we could manage one. I don't think a draft is the sole answer. There should be a small draft for eligible players (18-19 year olds) who want to play Super Rugby as they finish school. It...

How about a decent coach for the Force first. How the fuck did the ARU let the Force take him in. And who was the CEO who extended his contract till the end of 2017 on previous results! It just stinks of acceptance of mediocrity.

Without equitable player distribution, you might as well shut the Force down and start the Western Sydney Super team the rumours are circulating about. 1. The point of the Force is to increase the player pool of professional rugby players in Australia. 2. Short term, it would be an opportunity...

Tevita Li looks like a bloke who believes his own press. Just running around for appearance money tonight.

Shithouse call by Umaga to go for a draw.

Could the producer give us a worse angle for these scrums?
