could the rebels suck much more with there soft try's. I could not hate a team more than them.

The Rebels scored through patience and then seizing the opportunity. I doubt you'd be saying the tries were soft had they been scored by the Crusaders or Stormers. Maybe instead of the sour grapes, you should look at why your team is totally shithouse?

yep....yep play the man...but you still suck. Can't believe we lost to such a lame team.

Is this your default position after every loss, therefore almost every match? I can't believe you were so close. And that's my default position after every Force match!

Dumbledore gloat as much as you want. We are going through a tough cycle, so what...I still hate the Rebels. Bait me as much as you want. I still can't believe we lost to you guys. I look forward to 2013 when the tables will be turned......deep breaths...

Come on Moono, it wasn't the Rebels who managed to assemble the most sorry looking bunch of also rans and dads army backs ever to shuffle onto a super rugby field, you can thank Richard Graham for that.

Sure they exploited turnstyles Harvey, but it was the Force who selected him at 15 and put Mafi on the bench.

What did you think of the ground and atmosphere Stu?

Depressing on both counts in the first half :p but was great to see the crowd lift when the Force started to gain momentum. Superhero day was a novel idea as well, I came as David Hasselhoff which nobody appreciated.

As for nib, it could be so much more with a little love. Great position but still very 'temporary'.

NIB in the next couple of years is due to under go a 100 million dollar redevelopment so it's on the way up.

charger....i can't be swayed from my path of hatred and negativity towards the Rebels. The game was there to be won, the prize on offer a jewel to be clasped and displayed in triumph to the assembled Force faithful on a beautiful Perth afternoon. Instead we succumbed in the final minutes for a variety of reasons. All the more reason why tough decisions need to be made before the end of the season. Why a coach needs to be appointed now rather than later. Mafi should have started. Harvey is too slow and defensive for super rugby. Mafu is too fat and slow to start....our centre pairings are lacking in penetration and panache , our tactical field kicking is poor. Don't settle for second best Force fans. The results call for action!

I've never hidden my distaste for the Rebels. I couldn't be more transparent. I congratulate you guys for winning the game. Do I like it....no. Do I think we should have won the game....yes. There are many reasons for this. But I'm not going to go into the disparities of the team recruitment structures. Well done....neither of us are going to play finals. I hope the team positions will be shuffled in 2013. Hopefully that soothes the flames....of those Rebel scum :)

I have to say I was impressed with Salesi Manu when he came on. The kid seems like a goer. Scrum was patchy but around the field he was excellent.

Manu has some upside. One to watch for the future.

What a terrible game of rugby.. the only reason the scoreline was so high is because the poor attack was matched by the poor defence. That being said, it all led to a cliff hanger finish which is entertaining in it's own right.

For mine the Rebels played better because they on several occasions built phases and pressure, which the Force never seemed to do.

Moono, I don't get your hatred of the Rebels, but you're entitled to your view.

Wonderful day at the footy today, especially backing up after a huge wedding shindig on Rottnest the day before, but that's another story. A pity about the result, but it was a great day out all the same. We could have and probably should have won that game. I was impressed by the Rebels in attack though, especially KB (Kurtley Beale) who grows with every game IMHO. Mark Gerrard was important too I thought until subbed off.

I'd agree with that. The Force really only earned one try, when McCalman went over after a few good phases.

The rest were just slack defence.

Something about the newbies on the block overtaking us on the climb to success on the ladder. Perhaps my attention should be directed more towards our rugby administration who has allowed us to become the bottom feeder of the comp.

I do appreciate the various aspects of good play from other teams in the comp, I'm just getting fed up with waiting for that to be us. Give me a day or two and I'll be looking towards the Lions game which is going to be tough. But i expect an improved result for my birthday weekend. Force please take note :)
