This been posted yet? The North Korean Rebels stamp? I am disappointed in you Dumbledore.

The second yellow card was an appalling decision (the one to Matheson). The first was warranted and cost us the game (Alcock) - we were pushing the Rebel line when he gave away that penalty. Instead of coming away with 3, 5 or 7 points, the penalty was given away, we lost a man, and the Rebels...

I wouldnt be hugely upset with Simmons. It really depends on whether Wykes turns out to be a 6 / 8 or a lock. MMM is already a flanker come lock, its really only Battye and Lynn that are out and out locks.

If the Force could pick up Morahan that would be an excellent coup.

Very true. This is probably worthy of a separate thread though, not to clutter the Force one.

That is true, but we really only have Horwill as a genuine international lock, and he is broken 9/10ths of the time. In the past we have seen: Sharpe and Horwill Sharpe / Horwill / Vickermann Harrison / Sharpe Eales / Giffen What we have now is not of that quality. Hopefully we can get back...

Quality locks in Australia are few and far between. I would really like to get hold of a decent lock capable of leading the lineout, to help with Phoenix Battye's development. Still think that lad will be a beast in a few years.

Cooper is very lucky to have a contract at all given he publicly criticised his employer and clearly stated he had no confidence in them. If I did that I would think I would be job hunting again. But putting Cooper on a rookie contract (if that is what they did, I thought it emerged that this...

There is a very good reason for the ARU to act, even after all of this time. Players need to realise that they are high profile and hence represent the ARU in everything they do. If they misbehave, it has consequences on the ARUs revenue. The ARU needs to send a message to its players that it...

Like the ideas. SKN to the bench, I dont really rate the guy. Tupou to start at 15. If we are going with Hodgson and Alcock (which is a good idea) then Cottrell to the bench, we already have 2 fetchers, no need for a third. Lynn to the bench, he has experience.

Gill may one day be better. But at the moment Pocock and Hooper are the top two, by some margin.

One thing that pleased me was at around the 65th minute, when the Rebels got that try to put them 11 up, and we were down to 13 men, I thought that it was going to be a blow out. But the Force regrouped and grabbed a try back and it was game on again. And in regards to Godwins goal kicking, I...

I see James Hildenbrand is now another from the rugby nursery that is Adelaide who has managed to obtain a professional rugby contract. Adelaide, propping up the Australian and French rugby communities since 2008 8)

Brock James is from Adelaide. He moved to Sydney to get a start as there was no high level rugby in Adelaide. He is certainly not from NSW.

Brock James being another one. There are a reasonable number coming through from WA too.

I have a supporters membership as I live in Melbourne. It gets you a hat, some stickers, some magazines and a regular email updating you on what is going on. In regards to the backline, I would like to see: Matheson Ebersohn Cummins Haywood Tupou Mafi SKN Sheehan Godwin Stubbs / Dellit

So we will have "crouch, touch, pause, ..." Both scrums then continue squatting and waiting. :p

Who are our standout LHPs, that are genuine LHPs? I wouldnt mind seeing a bit of a list of who plays there. As far as I can see we have fatcat / Ryan at the Tahs, Alexander at the Brumbies (but he is more a THP at international level), Holmes / Slipper / Daley at the Reds, Longbum / Cowen at the...

People always say that the Force pack looks weak, but for the last few seasons the pack has been a strength. They had one of the better packs in the competition last season. Granted we have lost Sharpe and Pocock, but MMM has stepped in, and Hodgson wont be a massive step down from Pocock. There...

And I think thats the problem. The ideal time would be at the end of the H Cup which is very close to the end of Super rugby. But then that is the international window, so the top players would be available then. Would be great to see though.
