I'd be happy with Beale. I'd also be happy without Beale. Maybe someone like Matt Hodgson as a captain/mentor would be good for him. Sometimes all you need is a new environment to get over your issues. The Force don't have any young rock stars in the team that are likely to encourage him to go...

I wonder if Badger would like to play for Graham again?

That is a very good Sharks team. The Force will need to defend their asses of again to stand a chance. I can see us getting tortured in the set piece. I hope the Sharks are fatigued and demoralised.

So the Brumbies was one thumping (absolute thumping), what was the other one? The problem for the Force is that we will struggle to replace the calibre of players going. Mafi is gone and Cummins will probably go too. I don't think we will even that out unless we pick up a guy like Rob Horne-...

No we didn't. Godwin played 10 in the JWC. I wouldn't blame them for that performance either. Our backrow and second row were lightweight and Gill was out of form. Also, our defence out wide sucked.

Need new locks. Apparently searching in South Africa. Any ideas?

It wouldn't surprise me- Ebersohn had a few absolute shockers (Cheetahs, Rebels in Perth) where the Force were favourites. Pretty happy with that myself. A loss but a close loss against a very good team. The problem for Foley is that with guys like Alfie Mafi and potentially Nick Cummins gone...

Do you mean on the field or off the field. Both are pretty terrifying prospects.

The Force have a great habit of surprising everyone. We lose when we should win. We win when we should get flogged. Since we are now expected to get flogged, I think we will lose by 1-7 points.

I think Genia is just a sore person. I still chuckle about him firing up on Rod Kafer in the test last year when he picked up the knee injury. Sure he was targetted but that kind of play is exactly what guys like Saia Fainga'a and Rob Simmons (and a fair few bloody All Blacks) do. I don't...

Can't get to the game but the online match trackers suggests the Reds have given away a shitload of penalties.

You made me doubt myself. You are correct, but there were two offences. You are referring to the incident in 2011. I was referring to this incident: From: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/cooper-beale-in-police-probe/story-e6frg7mf-1226389512984

Would be really interested in hearing how Conrad Gillingham goes/is going for Warringah. Used to be in the Force academy.

Yes to what Qwerty said. He also got done for driving the Mazda he won in the ARC without a licence. Don't know if grog was involved in that one. And that's just the stuff we know about.

Has nobody told Jake that the Wallabies also run a quota system? Only in the ARU version it's big name former league players that the coach is obliged to include in the match day 22.

Reckon the Rebels are set for a pasting. I've put 65 cents on a Win to nil for the Chiefs.

This is good for us. If we fuck up against England, we are bound to fire up the following weekend against Wales. Wales have England then presumably Fiji then us. Some tough games for them.

I heard that McCaffrey is likely to come back to the Tahs.

I reckon we are gonna get killed. :(. As much as you would expect a big bounce back after the loss to the Brumbies, the Reds are just too good at the moment.

I'd put a lot of money on that being the end of the Rednaissance. You guys aren't going to turn from being a top 6 team just from losing Ioane. Do what you did to make it back to the top in the first place. You guys are busting that the seams with young, talented outside backs. Why waste money...
