How can you know if fretting over whether to stay or go impacted your form if you haven't played a game yet without that hanging over you.
Genia to the Force?

You are dillusional. The only one of those players who was a loss for the Tahs in terms of being in the mix was Lachlan Mckay.
I am at peace with the Force, but I have a good memory. You have to realise, that by taking players like Daruda, Ioane, Doherty, Vadelago, Brown that you took the majority of our next generation. I do not hold that against the Force, as they needed the players and it gave them an opportunity. But don't start this nonsense about how we were unaffected.
I also did not want to bring this up, but. You have been in the comp since 2006 and produced about 5 players.

Yep but that was also when it was Super 12, so relative to the overall number of teams in the comp still not great. The two years prior to Force introduction in 2006 they finished 10th. Just trying to highlight that the Reds had difficulties prior to the Force entry into the comp and we can't be held soley responsible for the Reds performance issues.
Don't take it the wrong way. I was very pleased to see the Reds resurgance and win in 2011. I would expect that the Reds should be one of the provincial powers in Australian rugby.

This thread has been high jacked by upset Force supporters.
What's done is doe. Genia is staying put, get over it. Use this as therapy and move on and worry about your team.
There is over a 100 years of rich rugby heritage here in QLD. And QLD rugby has supplied Australia with some of the greatest players to have ever put on the green and gold.( not including Wendell sailor) And its nice to know finally that QLD can keep our highest profile player in years on happiness, great team, better mates and genia relising money can't buy that all of that. So I say it again. Get over it!
You play your best rugby when your happy.And Genia moving to the force the only thing that would have been happy is his bank account and admin thinking how many more bums on seats he will bring.
He wants to play rugby.And I can't wait to see him run onto the paddock this weekend refreshed and no worries.

Yep lets not get the facts get in the way of a good old fashioned 'western force' witch hunt...
You do understand that third-party contract come under the Players CBA, which subsequently limits third-party negotiated contracts to the realm of $60'000...

If my source from the west stated that certain people in the force were telling certain people that Genia had been signed, then it backs up the point I am trying to make about it being the Force that leaked the information.
They either lied about the signing to help them retain other players (or for some other reason), or Genia has somehow got out of a signed contract.

It wouldn't be the first time someone has counted their chickens before they've hatched, so to speak. Doubt there was any malice.

Both fine players, however Hodgson in particular was not getting a go at all despite dominating at Club level... Shepherd was definitely an up and comer in the ranks, so I missed that one.
