I agree with this but just hope we start Carter Gordon in TRC to give him the chance to take Foley's spot. Hopefully Perese and Toole get some game time as well

Have watched replay about ten times and still can’t figure out why the reds got the last penalty to win the game. If it was for the tackle after the pass, it wasn’t late, it wasn’t a shoulder charge and the spot the ref awarded the penalty was 5 meters closer to the posts. Very strange

From a force perspective, happy with Tizzano being back, kuenzle looked better at full back, and we have some quality wingers. Swap Naisarani for Wells and Rodda for Williams and a good forward pack. Definitely missed Madrano and Robertson. also don’t think kaituu won one lineout once he...

Nah would prefer Waqa, younger and will have something to prove. Going back to Rona, JOC (James O'Connor) etc is not the way forward I don’t think.

The rebels can’t finish a game and the force are terrible starters but finish well, hopefully before the end of the season they can each start putting it all together

I still rate Koteka highly, he was awesome last year, hopefully he can recover 100% and be pushing for that #7 spot as well

I agree Cron could have chosen better words but you need to remember this is not an isolated incident and probably the final straw for him. We have had 2 players given red cards in game which were then subsequently ruled to only be yellow card offenses. When you are a team that is already...

Great news building competition for spots just what we need.

Something is telling me Eddie is going to make White his captain. Agree Kellaway interesting, I wouldn’t have him starting if all available but a good bench option

Easy to understand why the WF CEO is not happy. Yes the force have been screwed over for sure on this front this year, maybe that is just what happens when we are struggling and already expected to lose. Agree with others on here though if a player in down and needs a HIA how can they not...

I think the season should definitely be longer with double round robin This year for example, the force have only had 2 home games and the season is basically over for them. Actually it would benefit a team like the force a lot as we don’t have any wallabies that would need to be rested!

Force so damn frustrating. I think we must have spent the whole pre season doing fitness only, we finish games really strong but our basic decision making, discipline , errors etc are just woeful tiatias joke of a kick to touch was a massive momentum killer

Has Eddie said anything about Sio? I am surprised he wasn’t included in the overseas players group for the camp. Seems to be playing very well in the Uk and not exactly a position we have huge depth

Recovering from knee injury, out for most of the season if not all of it

Simon Cron seems to have a knack of pulling these new #8's out of nowhere. Interested to see how Jacob Norris goes, has played for the Maori All Blacks so must be ok. Looking forward to seeing Pugh get a start and Strachan at 10

If you picked the team today I would have Petaia at 14 ahead of Kellaway. I think Petaia's kicking game is hugely underrated as well, has a great boot on him which will help with the other 2 in the back 3. Don't like Foley on the bench either, would prefer Gordon or even Hodge for more...

Also worth remembering that we are the only team that is sent on a 3 game road trip to NZ. Other than the Brumbies I wouldn’t expect any of the other Aussie sides to do much better

Wow bonus point you beauty, not leaving Nz empty handed ha ha

Disappointing half, look ok with the ball but the usual mistakes and missed tackles killing is. Have got some good bench players and the wind advantage so hopefully doesn’t turn in to a drubbing. I like the fact Cron has given Strachan a shot, the easy option would have been Hegarty.

Big game, not just as a team but with Eddie naming his squad this is the last chance for anyone to impress. Hard to see any force players making a wallabies squad other than Robertson. Rodda if he wasn’t injured. Fainga'a slipping down the order. Anstee possibly a bolter but unlikely.
