Brett Sheehan has a lot of positive qualities but he is not the 9 the Force need. He would be better suited to a more combative pack than the Force have.

I'd add being a dickhead to those duties. Or maybe it is just a coincidence with Woodcock and Owen Franks.

I'd be pretty happy with Pakalani. Even happier if he was willing to come in the EPS. Or is he a foreign development player? I forget.

That recruitment is due to lack of experienced Australian talent. There are plenty of promising young 9s but none are ready for a full time gig.

If there is a captain's curse, you've got to make Sharpie captain. If he gets injured you aren't worrying about him being fit for next season. Genia might struggle to make the early rounds next year.

Definitely worth an EPS squad spot somewhere.

A national sevens tournament in the style of the 7s World Series would be amazing and probably would be fairly easy to run. A one off in each city- Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne (And Hobart?). Surely it must be easier marketing and selling out a one day event...

The greatest trick Radio pulled is convincing the ARU he doesn't exist. And just like that, poof. He's gone.

I wouldn't play him as a lock. I'd prefer to see him as a 6. Compared to many of our back rowers, he adds bulk. I don't see him as a realistic option for recruitment though, and I'd definitely prefer Hugh McMeniman.

It'd be good to have Mitchell Chapman as a lock/6. He runs a line-out well. Adds bulk to the pack too.

What I really liked about the Rebels this season was that Hugh Pyle, Caedryn Neville and Luke Jones all got some good game time. Jones could be a great 6 and its great to see him playing there and not as a lock. I think it will be a few years before he is ready to for test rugby.

It's a shame Nathan Sharpe is leaving. He could cover 12.

If it is handled well, this is a good decision. Turner won't want to be dropped back to the EPS but he hasn't shown he can stay fit enough to warrant a full squad position. Tell him to get a year of rugby in Japan or Europe and that there will be a contract waiting for him after a year if his...

Pick on form. We have two good options in each backrow position. The Force need another lock. A Wykes/Lynn second row wouldn't be hard enough.

Somewhere closer to the Carney side of those two but a different type of baggage. And certainly less public.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Maybe he will pull a Steve Walsh and develop a drink problem, move to South Africa and become their top coach and then preside over a Wallabies vs New Zealand test.

I would be spitting chips if Jackson refereed in a Wallabies vs New Zealand game. When the Force played the Crusaders a few weeks ago the Crusaders were coming into the rucks at more different angles than a group of porn stars doing DVDA.

We missed out on a great opportunity to be called the Perth Worms.

Owen Franks and Courtney Lawes. I fucking hate the pair of them but they would add some serious power to our tight 5.

Best line ever.
