This thread is a Reds fest! Where are the other Force fans???

Force have a marquee spot opening up next year with David Smith leaving...

He could throw a real spanner in the works and sign with the AFL...

Ill believe it when I see the contract with his signature on it, and even then Ill be skeptical. Journos are printing almost everything anyone says. Bret Harris from the Australian has posted two articles 2 hrs apart. One says he is definitely going to the Rebels, the next definitely to the...

So how many Wallaby jerseys can be decided here... McCalman vs Samo Hodgson vs Higgenbotham Wykes vs Simmons (is he playing?) Stannard vs Cooper ;)

Right, Ill let Richard Graham know that for the good of Australian rugby, Pocock, Sharpe and OConnor cant play :p

Burgess Barnes Ioane T Carter Faainga Gerrard Huxley That would be a lot more fun...

Well, it was there to stir up some comments. There are a few changes I would make. But Im interested to see other takes on the matter.

Im gonna do a head to head as well... Assuming Higs starts as a forward... Longbottom v Slipper - Reds - Slipper is the Wallaby TH for a reason Charles v Fa'ainga - Force - Charles plays tight, Fingers doesnt Fairbrother v Daley - Force - Fairbrother knows how to scrummage, Daley doesnt...

Moving away from the Reds, who will miss out to allow for Shep and JOC (James O'Connor) to come back to the Force backline? Id suggest that the halves combo will stay as is. But the centres will be difference I think. Will Inman get the chop to allow JOC (James O'Connor) to shift to 12, Sidey to 13? Or will Sidey get...

I dont like the idea of limiting players at all. If there is a salary cap, then the teams can have a small squad and higher wages (hence entice better players) or a larger squad and smaller wages hence more injury cover but less stars. Interestingly, we are up against squads from SA of around...

To be fair to the commentators, they did get a little fired up a bit later about the pro foul when the Highlanders tackled Cummins without the ball. There were comments about getting back on their horse, which related to the comments they made about pro fouls during the Stannard issue. In...

Force pack will destroy the Reds. Backs are a different story, but with no Diggers or Fingers, they arent as potent.

My Force 22: Longbottom Charles Fairbrother Wykes Sharpe Hodgson Pocock McCalman Swanopoel Stannard Cummins JOC (James O'Connor) Dellit Smith Shepherd Whittaker Dunning Hocking Brown Sheehan Inman Mafi I think that team should really be able to push the Reds. It has some attacking depth, and JOC (James O'Connor) running off...

First of all, the difference is only 21 with two games to go. That could be significant. Secondly, I would want my team to go for the points even if it were 100 points different. They are pro players and they need to strive to get maximum points at all times. Thirdly, the Reds were my...

Sorry, as a neutral, reading this thread, some Reds fans need to have a bit of humility and stop blaming other factors. And as for Gits taking 3 points. Good on him. Its what all teams should do. That will affect their points difference and might be the difference between 3rd and 4th in the Oz...

Longbum Turner Ah-Nau Godwin Stannard (kind of, he moved to Perth to play in the local comp and got picked from there) Sheehan (he was born in Geraldton) Im hoping DHP will be back soon as he is another local. Edit: Cummins is from Port Macquarie.

How did Longbum go? He is having a good year this year.

Good man. I lived out in Kensington Gardens until about a month ago.

A world cup final after the ABs had hit the Boks in the semis (or even us) would be the ideal time to look for your first win. They will be packing their bags with the cup in tow in their minds if they beat the boks knowing they will face Ireland in the final. It would be like the Wallabies in...
