Pity withdrawn.

Boned.

As teams that can only beat the Reds, I think the Force and Waratahs fans are not in any position to be sledging anyone. Except Reds fans. But have a little pity.

That was a shithouse half from the Force. I cant believe the Saders are only up by 7. Tessman needs to be dragged desperately.

One of those backrowers ended up dropping out due to a pre-tournament injury and was replaced by WA's Haydn Anderson. Needed to be said so that we didn't look all lonely on one.

During the regular NRC season like the game that was played in Adelaide in 2014? I wasn't talking about a pre-season game or anything like that- or where you replying to someone else?

I often wonder if the Reds would have been pillaged so badly if the ARU had been able to do more to free up a competent roster for the Force. We were left with a choice- aggressive recruitment from the weakest franchise or field a team drastically unable to compete at Super Rugby level. RugbyWA...

Good point. You'd hope you get a big enough crowd to justify it. 2000 came to Force v Rams in Adelaide and I bet they did bugger all advertising. Maybe put it out to tender- establish a cost and say to e.g. the SARU pay x and we'll have a game there. Maybe motivates others to take a leadership...

As much as I wanted the Brumbies to win, I have to say that conceding almost 50 at home to the Chiefs puts their demolition of the Force into perspective. The Chiefs are just too fucking good.

I think all the NRC sides should look to play one home game regionally- WA in the NT or SA. ACT in the other one, Vics in TAS. There is a good argument that this interferes with developing a comp, but I reckon youd get decent crowds.

No antagonism towards Queensland. More pity. Definitely Victoria is more wanktastic than NSW.

I see two likely players coming into Wallaby frame from the Force- Coleman and DHP. Hodgson is a maybe at 7 if there are injuries. McCalman is a maybe at 8 if he comes back into form. Tet Faulkner is a maybe as a utility prop if he comes back into form (Cheika had him as a prop on the 2014...

I don't remember back. I wasn't paying that much attention to the Waratahs. :) Ahh, I'll concede the point- there is really no value to me in arguing about it. We can all agree that Foley probably needs to move on. No point dwelling too much on the past.

I dont know if that is fair either. Do we know how much input Foley had in those selections? John Ulugia and Damien Fitzpatrick had more potential as hookers in my opinion. I dont mean to come across as a Foley apologist but I think it is a bit harsh.

Would take Louden in a heart beat but I doubt hed come. Force have dicked him over in the past I think.

I don't know if that is a completely fair comparison. Of those guys the only ones who were worth much were Dean Mumm, Vickerman and Elsom- maybe Halangahu. Vickerman retired due to injury- that is not a recruitment/retention issue. Elsom was also an injury crock but had only come back to Aus to...

Rebels will be in the final. This has nothing to do with my state allegiance. The RWC and U20 RWC both work on a system of two teams tied on the leader board meaning that number of wins and then head to head are the differentiating criteria before points difference. Super Rugby works on number...

If you can't get Aussie players coming over to the Force, why not have the ARU help the Force to supplement their recruitment of overseas players who could become Wallaby eligible? I am not talking about financial help. I am talking about help with scouting/talent identification. Help the...

I don't think you get it Silverado. NSW arent second. They have the same number of competition points. Head to head is more important than points difference. End of story.

No but no point talking about it. Thats not why we are 46-10 down. You just hope someone cleans it up for when it actually matters.
