Can I respectfully suggest that there is a significant difference between declining to take an experimental vaccine as part of an individual's "informed consent" decision and being an 'anti-vaxer' as this term is commonly used. We have no idea what medical advice Sita may have or not received...

For the same reasons WF Academy player Ned Slack-Smith has now joined the player group in Brisbane. Rupeni Mataele has yet to join the WF Academy group as he's recovering in NZ from an ACL recon.

I didn't say that it was a smart decision.....I reckon he should have stayed at the WF. Now he's going to find it hard to return.

Someone needs to inform Coleman that Rocky v Drago was only a movie and not the real world. I feel for Carlo, lured to the Tahs but in reality has been treading water behind Hooper. He'll have trouble returning to the WF as he's now well behind Koteka and Callan.

From what I hear, although it's a Home game for the Western Force, they'll be flying in with the Reds immed before the match, will be staying in an isolation bubble and returning East with the Reds immediately after the match. No contact with family and friends permitted. Thankyou WA govt and...

When the Western Force were cut after the 2017 season: a) There were 6 local players who moved elsewhere: Burton, Hardwick, 2 x Haylett-Petty, Louwrens, Peni. b) There were 13 players who had earned their first Super Rugby cap with the Western Force: Ainsley, Cottrell, Cowan, Faulkner, Havili, Newsome...

I've never seen Rodda look happier. Fitting in extremely well.

It was actually George Poolman (WF Academy/Uni NSW) who started with Kyle in the Centres. He was replaced by BK.

Top bloke. Great player. Ethical. Moral. Integrity. Caring. Humble. Tough as guts. Courageous. Committed. Proud of his heritage and representing WA. Captain, my Captain.

Good to hear WF CEO Tony Lewis with some candid feedback on the impact of the extended border closure in WA. Thanks for the coverage by SportsFM 91.3 and Blane Treadgold

You seem to be an expert on all things in the West RR Out of curiosity how often have you visited Perth to watch the WF play/train, touch base with club rugby etc.? Have you been since the Force were axed in 2017?

The Western Force will go head-to-head with Fijian Drua and the Queensland Reds in pre-season clashes ahead of the upcoming 2022 Super Rugby Pacific season. This will be the first time the Force and the Fijian Drua meet since our successful 2019 National Rugby Championship campaign. The...

The turnover has really mean no different from other franchises as most change about 30% each year. The "cohesion" relates to what I see on the training track. + I see one team - despite the changes + The pre-season has focused on the input of two new coaches (Tito & Ozich) so it's all new -...

Forrest's backing has certainly helped us to build a good coaching and support group. The recruitment is ongoing - and seems like it will be continuous. The WF Academy now contains the best of local talent plus some of the better U20 players with potential. However, what's getting lots of the...

Good to see another local lad return to the West.

Of course not - he's a likely F/B. Thought that it was a good post to give some commentary on some of the new prospects. PS Ned Slack-Smith is not a F/H either.

A team can never have enough good player options.......... Godwin hasn't played F/H for the WF for a long time. Has consolidated himself as a Centre. McGregor does OK for Palmyra and in NRC but has yet to show that he can play at Super Rugby level. Prior a faithful servant for the WF but probably his...

Liking the new jerseys for 2022. Creating history as the first rugby club in Australia to showcase an Indigenous pattern throughout our season. Our jersey represents our past and our future.

In reality the club relegation issue is a RugbyWA matter not a Western Force matter. I agree about the poor communication. There is zilch on the RugbyWA website.

A dodged bullet perhaps - but maybe more of an explanation as to why it was never progressed beyond the initial considerations.
