Agreed Ruggo, the small talk is the worst part. Insulting to the Brumbies organisation. I don't think Fagan and the Brums hierachy can wear any blame, they went out to get the best coach they could and nail him down for 4 years. They did their part well.

Agree completely with that backline. Just when you think the Canes have been ravaged by losing Weepu and Nonu, you see the list and remember that they still have Vito, Conrad Smith and Corey Jane. And poor old Hodgson, he must feel like a piece in the kids game where you have to drop the...

Colleague? Yes. Competitor. I would probably be bumped up the pay scale at my work.

When did you become the internet police? No judge in any democratic country would find I have any charge to answer in regard to being libellous. Your paraphrasing of my post above is completely off the mark and I never was suggesting any sort of arse covering. I merely suggested that due to a...

I haven't seen the footage, but I hope this isn't an instance of them feeling they have to do something because a white card was shown and have to justify it's existance.

Is there a rule regarding how long you have to sign your overseas development player for? If the rule says they must be contracted for 2 years then that would make sense. Like for like replacement for Ripia.

I don't mind it except for Kearns. I think he was the best panel member on there in 2010. His dry wit was natural and well timed. Through 2011 his commentating became worse. He became quite negative and his usual dry wit came across as more sarcastic or whingeing and the change was also notable...

I'm a Force supporter and even I can't really buy that. What if Willy Ripia got injured before round 1? Same situation. Force need to take responsibility for their situation, recruit better and not worry about looking for special treatment.

The glaring failure of RG that I can see so far is his recruitment. Even with a fit Ripia, the Force's bacline is/was decidedly pedestrian this year. And he can't claim much credit for the pack as it was essentially assembled and stable before he took the reins (though he appears to be a...

The fact is that over here in the west without an existing successful culture or strong feeder club competition, the only chance at success is to attract enough top end players to be competitive. By and large a good coach will attract these players as they wan't to play for him. I just don't...

Oh....and I bought a new shirt the other week. I think I might wear it instead of the Force jersey tomorrow. It gives off good vibes....

Alfie Mafi at 15 scares me. In fact pretty much anyone but Shep in the whole squad at 15 scares me. The few times Alfie dropped into 15 last year he looked decidedly shaky. I think overall it will be another year of heartbreak for the Force. Pocock, Sharpe and Hodgson will be brilliant and...

Alanis Morisette would have a field day with this one.

Be interesting to see if he is going to stay in WA. Would be a massive coup to have him hang around and support Rugby in WA. Either way, I am definately going to the last home game. The level of passion when Brendan Cannon did a lap after he had retired was a great thing to behold, I think it...

NIB is awesome. The atmosphere is tops and you can always find a park within 500m and it is straight in and out of the city. I'm 175kms away and can get to the ground in 2 hours. If it is Sharpie leaving he will get a hero's ovation at the last game. He has been the heart and soul of the Force...

I wasn't to enthused about the Force using their marquee spot for another winger, Australia seems to produce plenty of world class wingers and really haven't had any clear direction in the midfield since Gits left, but watching that video I am quite excited about Nalaga. I wouldn't be surprised...

Tahs to come runner up to the Blues. Reds 3rd. Hurricanes last. Only Stormers from SA to make the semis. Force to win every home game.

From the West article. Seems pretty pointless with both Sheehan, Turner and if they can pick up a good 10 Stannard could drop back to 9 as well if required (in fact Stannard is still listed as a scrumhalf on the Force website).

That's it!!! 10 man rugby all year.

Barry Hall isn't finding it as easy to walk back into boxing as he thought it would be. Struggling to get the body working. Sadly, the only thing I don't like about SBW is his mates. I think he is unduely influenced by a pack of self promoting degenerates, and maybe isn't bright enough to...
