Feel a bit sorry for the Brums. Taking a chance on the kid to have him start to perform and then move on. But nothing against Hooper, the heart want's what the heart wants.

What the Force needs is a coach who is willing to get down and dirty and develop West Australian youngsters. I have come to the realisation that the only hope for long term regular success is to have a strong base of local players to compliment the stars that you can attract with cash. The...

Can't wait for Waylon to get his teeth into this :)

Wow, stunned and kinda excited. So far my only positive comments about RG was his commitment to the Force seemed genuine, now I see that was all false... see ya later RG. I can't help think Vern Reid watched his ham fisted attempts at recruiting through the off season and when he heard RG was...

You toss up a big fat lob ball, and all the batsmen have their back turned.....

It's called recruiting you numb nuts. Why would you blame the Force, it was clearly the ARU's complete and utter balls up by not letting them recruit more overseas players, like they did for the Rebels. The Force's players had to come from some where in Australia, and shock horror it was the...

Good on Piri for at least admitting he stuffed up. I don't like naturally talented guys who float through relying on talent and watch guys with the hunger but maybe less talent work their ass off and mostly fail to match the talented guys. But nobody said life was fair and I respect Piri for...

The Mafi idea to 12 is intriguing. He can break the line and has a decent pass. I always worry about him playing out the back, it feels like he has a tendency to run himself away from support and gets isolated and also his kicking for touch can be woeful. Keep him close to the pack and see if he...

If this thread was a horse, the vet would be pulling out the 12Ga right about now....

I think every team has a responsibility to their fans to try and win. I have always thought the criticism of the Tah's as unwarranted. JON should keep his fat head out of it. Heart says Force by 3, Head says Tahs by 7.

It all just depends which Force team turns up, Jekyll or Hyde? I think Wara can feel a little bit robbed if Nalaga replaces him. He has done well so far.

It would be a cruel, cruel world if the cock journalist never got to read Bruce's article dissection above.

E Excellent, that will surely teach them a lesson.

I said to the wife at about the 30min mark that the old Force were back. Flat footed runners, slow ball and not really threatening the line at all. To be fair, the Force's backline is a cobbled together pack of also rans and the Reds defence last week made us look better than we are. So I...

Good point, Harvey's is better than most. The real concern has been the 12's and wingers we have. Cummins, Sidey, Fairbanks, Dellitt and Nalaga (from little I have seen of him) don't offer alot of support.

Watching that Rebels game really highlighted for me one of the key the weaknesses the Force have. Kicking from hand. When your forwards do so much good work but you can't capitalise with field position it can be demoralising. Without Sheperd all we have is our #10. Sheehan can box kick but...

Scrum was strange, seemed like the Blues were getting away with a huge shove before the ball was in. Sometimes ref's call it, sometimes they don't. Great game Rebels, you stuffed my tipping but i'm glad you got up. Nonu and Weepu are like the poisoned chalice. Not that you can blame them for...

Unfortunatley that's what the Red's forward pack thought as well.

I have been critical of Woody, but I will say at least he appears fully invested in taking the Force forward into the future. His heart and soul appears to be in it, which as a fan I appreciate compared to the sort of coach who views their job as an exercise in analysis (eg: Hickey). Now if...

The measure of this won't be until after next week. The Force have two weaknesses. Backing up week after week and beating a team with a backline. That result shouldn't really come as a surprise. The Force have taken the Reds pack apart twice in recent years but lost due to the brilliance of...
