The spot where Edmed was made to take the kick was miles off where the penalty was given, surely the ref confirms that with video ref at such a vital moment

I was just looking at this, I think the 18/3 is just when tickets go on sale to general public for the tour games (not tests). Most people on here would have already jumped the queue through other sources. I don’t think tickets for the test matches go on sale after the ballots which is not...

Backline is actually looking pretty good, the issue is the depth in the forwards, set piece and defence. We basically need our top 13 forwards available every week to be competitive which is the issue at the moment as 4 or 5 of them are missing

Exactly, this is just them going down swinging. They are suing RugbyAU and then just need to pass the money on to ATO anyway, I don’t think any of us will lose any sleep if the ATO don’t get their money back so let’s hope they don’t win.

The hsbc SVNS app is ok once you work out how to navigate it. Hooper must be a very slim chance of making it now, I think he needed to play these tournaments. Having said that, DuPont made a more immediate impact than I was expecting

Williams back in is huge and hopefully the ring in prop has been around for a bit training with the team rebels should dominate the forwards but forces backline better if they get a chance

Definitely not contracted this year. Would be a good option as injury cover.

Ok so now; - Pearce out suspended TBC - Amone out 6-8 weeks - Hoopert out 3-4 months - Wagner - out half the year We are screwed

The force have 4 props out injured, plus Robertson who left on sabbatical because he had a season ending injury. Also hooker (Kaituu) out and replaced by a kiwi who has been training with them a few weeks and the lineout went to sh1t Plus our best 3 second rowers missing We just don’t...

Perfect decision, Williams seems to have great leadership attributes and one player who is definitely in our best 15 (unlike the VCs).

Twiggy knew this was going to happen, he is just waiting for it all to implode and will then start a completely new breakaway competition , e.g super league / global rapid rugby etc

Harris, Donaldson and Potter all look like quality signings that can hopefully take the force to the next level. Depth seems better than previously but need White and Rodda playing and Medrano is a vital player for the season. I predict Williams and Potter will make wallabies this year

Dammit poor guy, we really need all props on the field last year as that cost us last year when Medrano and Robertson weren't on the field the depth was exposed. Scrum also didn't look good against QLD. Would appreciate it if the Force were a bit more open on injury updates (Rodda, White...

I am a Skelton fan but really can’t see how he got nominated. Agree Bell deserves it

Harry Potter will prove to be a great signing and possibly pushing to take Marky marks wallabies spot, Will Harris another great pick up Williams is getting better and better as well and should be captain hopefully Scrum is a concern, Tom Robertson is a massive loss

Would be so good if Taqele makes a big impact but my expectations are low.

What does it solve though? Do they suddenly get bigger crowds and make more money or does it just take a problem away from NZ and give it to us

Yes completely agree, Sanzaar have a lot to answer for in the way they have stuffed this competition. It was similar for the Force, early days crowds were above $30k regularly and that was at a footy oval, but after years of underperformance the crowds stop coming. This is why we need...

Went Saturday and Sunday and loved it, will be back next year for sure and with more people, great event. Players more than happy to get photos, sign autographs etc, great ambassadors for the sport. Women's final was disappointing, don't remember seeing any offside penalties for 3 days...

Was sad to see, saw her out the back and all her family were there and in tears, so harsh she did the wrong thing yes but it happens so quickly and no malice Great day though, brilliant crowd and set up, players mingling with fans etc
