IMO, many tight 5 players will not be ready until their mid 20s but most will go and get a job before then. Therefore more pateince is required as I think it is more of a long term plan. For mine, it also talks to our lack of depth for front rowers across the franchises. I'm not sure that any...

What about the big Fijian winger Nalaga? Didn't the Force also sign Nigel Genia or did that fall through? What about Angus Cottrell? The Force website seems to have Rory Walton from Norths as well - probably EPS, I guess.

Can anyone put a draft Force squad together?

latrell, are you allowed to pick Wallabies in your 30 man squads?

I think AJ Gilbert will win the Catchpole and Christini for Coach (nothing too bold in that)

I think Oliver Hoskins, the prop from Manly Grade and Aus U20 2012, is U19.

pretty good backline if you couldn't find a spot for Rob Horne.

2007 was the year that the First Grade Club Rugby Grand Final was in July to cater for the ARC. There was then the Trevor Allan Shield while the ARC was on. In First Grade, 6 teams made the semis which did not include Parramatta. The bottom 6 teams also played "semis" which I think resulted...

It's going to be a very interesting last Round for Easts supporters if Easts are not able to beat Souths this weekend. Wests and Warringah are finishing strongly and obviously have the easier draw. I can't see Easts beating Manly in the last Round and therefore there is a chance that they will...

Junior Maninoa?

Who is "Radio" that Growden keeps referring to?

Having watched Uni Colts over the past decade, they have had the ability to go up a couple of gears when finals come around. Some good quality teams have been blown away. If these other teams are legitimate challengers, they will need to realise that they must also be 10-20% better and handle...

When someone does, they should add Chris Thompson, the ex Waratah, Warringah and Norths lock, who has signed for 2 years.

I believe he has a knee injury and his recovery period is uncertain.

Dave Harvey, if available, has gone to Norths too

I believe he is a relation of Neil Harvey (possibly nephew). He played Colts and some Grade for Parramatta before joining Gordon about 5 years ago. I understand that he was to play with Norths this year but this Force contract could change that. I would have said that he is a player who both...

I think they are only allowed 8 overseas players this year. I believe it decreases by 2 every year.

"James King" - yes he played for Easts in 2011 although I believe he came from Subbies (Briars, maybe) before playing for Wests.

http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2010/07/29/revealed-biased-rugby-referees-in-both-codes-hand-big-advantage-to-own-countries-290702/ An old study but it definitely provides a strong argument for the return of neutral referees.

I think Hawko meant Australian forwards, in general, not specifically this team.
