2020 home and way kit.

In SRAu the WF is operating under the same salary cap rules as the other franchises.

From WF FaceBook site: Jonah Placid has signed on for another season with the Force. Pleased to see that Jonah has recovered from the knee recon (injured in 2019 NRC). I assume as part of WTG.

Let's not let the facts get in the way of a good story. The bits about his Back Row flexibility and lineout skills are correct.

Surely it depends upon the game plan and the flexibility of the player. Matt Hodgson started as a Utility Back with the WF. Moved into the Back Row by bulking up and eventually became capable of covering all Back Row positions. Nathan Sharpe reckons Hodgo was a secret weapon in the lineout...

Thrush had an ankle clean-up pre-Christmas and was in rehab. when I last saw him. Can't imagine that they'd waste him on a trial game. Brumbies in 8 days may be something different. Most of the player group/wider playing group were in Canberra. Only Ready, Thrush, McCauley, Abra and Harris...

The first game is on 19th Feb - 10 days away - against the Brumbies at HBF.

Ankle cleanup - removal of bone fragments from past injuries.

Pleased to see such a large squad will get some game time.... Interesting additions to the previously announced player squad - Scott Tolmie (Hooker) and Sam Offer (Lock) Trial match the perfect opportunity for new recruits February 8, 2021 The Western Force set to take on the ACT Brumbies in...

Western Force coach Tim Sampson says talk about a COVID-19 disrupted season is taboo Nick Taylor - The West Australian - Mon, 8 February 2021 Western Force have slapped a self-imposed ban on talking about where a COVID-19 hit Super Rugby season could take them ahead of Tuesday’s pre-season...

Looks like the new O'neill playing kit has arrived on time. Reckon we won't see it until the first SRAU game against the Brumbies. Here with Kane Koteka showing new FoJ sponsor Harvey Beef.

Good to hear from Bo Abra and to hear that he's on a 2-year contract.

Good choice. The WF certainly play better when Prior is on the field. However, expect to see on-field leadership spread around a bit in 2021 with playing group leaders asked to step up. On entering his 8th season with the WF I reckon Prior is entitled to lose the "journeyman" handle. Prior...

i suggest disrupt but hardly disarray. This is the team which spent 74 days away from home last SRAu season. It could be more and it could be less - depending upon outcomes of contact tracing/testing. The WF started the pre-season 6 weeks before the other SRAu squads. This is the first...

No thanks - happy to keep that for the theme events. Keep the national jersey clean and simple. We don’t need a green version. Gold not yellow.

Pleased to see some interstate trials happening. Must be the result of some hard work behind the scenes and working within controlled spaces. A bit of exposure should make the opening game in Perth a cracker on 19 Feb. Force take on Brumbies in trial match ahead of season opener January 29...

TK looks like he's lost 5-10kg in January. Hope he gets to play his natural game at the WF. TK - Early January TK - End January Brynard S looking ready to go..

That's a fit Rob Kearney looking good in WF blue.

Welcome to the West Bo Abra. Have been watching some of the pre-season sessions. Bo's workrate is impressive. Gives everything his best. Shows great ball skills. International players have been getting a lot of coverage but like the chances that the WF have offered some of Australia's young...
