There is no magic pudding - just the need for a concerted and co-ordinated effort along the road to recovery - free from the burdens of the past.

With the current lack of interest in any meaningful broadcast options for 2020/2021 it's time to revisit my likely outcomes from nearly 6 months ago: What's needed is a complete rebuild from the gross mismanagement under which the game in Australia has been suffering for a very loooong time...

Found out yesterday that Angus Wagner, after his cracking two games against the Brumbies and Reds, suffered a serious hamstring tear (which hasn't required surgery) which ruled him out of the remainder of the SRAu season.

Rumour has it that the FMG sponsorship "aint necessarily so!" and could be just wishful thinking.

Catching up with the coach September 15, 2020 The Western Force squad is back home in Perth, spending quality time with their loved ones after ten weeks on the road. They will self-isolate for two weeks followed by a few further weeks for rest and recovery before returning to training in...

Force debutants represent 2020 success story September 14, 2020 Following a season that saw the club return to Super Rugby AU, one hugely positive statistic from the season stood out for head coach Tim Sampson. During our 2020 campaign, Sampson gave a staggering 14 players their first taste of...

Centre Kyle Godwin set to return home to Western Force after Waratahs fail to reach an agreement Nick Taylor - The West Australian - Sun, 13 September 2020 Western Force favourite son, centre Kyle Godwin, is set to return to the club next season. The Force are in discussions with the home...

I reckon you're confusing comments attributable to Matt Hodgson with journalism from Nick Taylor who seems to be recycling a list of possibilities from 3 years ago. I personally have no desire to see Skelton playing for the WF but would certainly welcome back Coleman. I'm happy to wait for the...

Under support of Tattarang the WF is currently under no restrictions on how the club can or must operate. Past performance by RA was obviously not a recipe for success in the West. I don't expect that the WF will return to Super Rugby on anything other than significant changes to past arrangements...

Western Force vow to include local talent as they eye off huge names in recruiting ploy Nick Taylor - The West Australian - Sat, 12 September 2020 Western Force are getting ready to “pull triggers” likely to send alarm bells ringing through Australian Super Rugby. Coach Tim Sampson and former...

It’s one of the things that is different about the WF RR. All players have been on 1 year contracts, some for the past 3 years, but get 100% of agreed salary even under CV19. Yet the vast majority stay on and extend. The “no DH” policy makes a big difference. Will be good to see Tom in the right...

Pleasing to see WF players Kyle Godwin, Feleti Kaitu'u and Brynard Stander being asked to remain in Sydney and join David Rennie's players of national interest group vying for Wallabies selection. I reckon Angus Fergus Lee-Warner can consider himself unlucky.

No - as stated it's the starting point - this year's squad. I've a lot of time for AJ and like his play. I think that there was a limit on the initial squad and/or he may have had an injury at squad selection time. Will have to wait and see. I understand that, like most clubs, the WF has started...

So often so near but yet so far..............thanks for your efforts Western Force. Really enjoyed watching the GRR player group + some experienced depth being part of Super Rugby Au. Who would have thought that Pek Cowan, Kyle Godwin, Kane Koteka, Jono Lance, Richard Kahui, Greg Holmes, Ollie...

GO YOU FORCE!!! Some interesting changes......

I wish Amy Perrett all the best for her first Super Rugby game as Referee. ARs: Angus Gardner and Reuben Keane TMO: Graham Cooper

Another full-page coverage of Rugby Union in the West Australian this morning. GO YOU FORCE! PS Lads, please stick to the game plan and give us a full 80-minute effort.

Since 2017, Andrew Forrest's rugby organisation has shown that it's a case of "whatever it takes to keep a professional playing group" in WA (with little help from RA). I have no issues if the WF is the only team playing TT next year. I'm with you Dan54 - one way or another they will pick...
