Would love to see Grason get another shot somewhere in the future. Another local product the Force let slip and could have been giving more game time too, rather than bringing in someone from over east like Poolman who hasn't proven to be any better.

I also think Kellaway should be in danger of getting dropped, has been pretty disappointing. Would be happy to see Toole or Jorgensen get a crack starting on the wing in one of these next 2 tests

Yes agree. In WA we regularly have Peter Grant, Peter Kimlin and Junior Pelasesa, among others running around in the lower grades. It is a great challenge to play against them even if they are nudging 40 or over.

Just give Stewart a crack at 12. Flook is not significantly better than Stewart so no need to move others around to fit him in. Unless Schmidt is going to go left field and pick Stewart at 10.

Squad seems slightly improved with mainly BPA in. If we can get him on the field with Tupou, Frost and Gordon it will be a big improvement. Glad they haven’t brought JOC (James O'Connor) in yet, let him play grand final for brothers and if he stands up well in that then could look at including him for all...

We should have brought Tawera Kerr Barlow into the fold when we had the chance last year. Same age as Nic White and much better Tom Robertson has technically played 2 matches I believe, he played the varsity game and then a game for kalamunda last week. Anyway I think he is a good pick...

Watching the game live it was very hard to watch the aimless kicking, you could see it unfolding like a train wreck from up high as we just kicked the ball straight into the laps of their wingers and FB. Not to mention that we give away any penalty in our half and you know it will inevitably...

So much debate over the #7 but I am more worried about the second row. Looks like it is highly likely to be LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Blythe, not very inspiring especially with that they are up against. Would much rather Skelton, Rory Arnold, Phillip, Swain, even Neville than Blythe

How do people think Paisami has been going? Maybe Stewart should get a game this week, might help the flyhalf having more of a ball player outside and his defence is solid.

We should be copying Ireland and scotlands strategy and importing players and making them wallaby eligible. I would target front rowers from South Africa and Argentina

At the end of the day we need to be realistic and accept we were never going to be a chance against the strong teams this year. We sucked last year, we didn’t have a team make the final of super rugby and we barely beat wales and Georgia. Joe needs more time and hopefully can turn things...

They are all just keeping the seat warm for Reesjan Pasitoa for next year anyway

I can't believe Creevy is still getting picked at 39, good on him

I don’t understand why the force hasn’t picked up at least one of Eloff, Pone or Talekai yet. Any of them would be a welcome addition

I would like to see some more transparency with the Wallaby top up system and how it actually works. e.g. how much of Tupou's salary do NSW pay and how much do Wallabies pay? How much counts towards the salary cap? Does someone like Will Harris for the Force for example cost the Force...

Yep absolute shambles and they obviously didn’t model likely outcomes Look at 3rd grade for example, a team is going to finish 4th in division A with way more points than the team finishing 3rd in division B and not play finals, plus they have had to play against stronger teams. No fairness there

Happy with that side. If you are going to go with a bigger -#7 then springboks would be the team to do it against I am concerned about the quality of our hookers. Hopefully by the end of TRC we have BPA and Porecki

Yes calling it a choke is harsh, it just didn’t go their way. I think they could have respected the occasion a bit more though, I know teams don’t regularly kick for goal in sevens but Olympic semi final up 12-0 penalty in front last play of first half just kick a goal and go in 15-0 in front...

The same thing happened against Ireland in Perth, the teams that slow down the play and take scrums instead of quick taps really seem to frustrate the girls and put time pressure on and then the panic and knock ons come

Devastating for the girls, clearly a better team just not on the day it mattered and a game of sevens can get away from you pretty quickly. I don’t think that last try actually touched the grass but didn’t really matter
