Just watching rugby recently has be excited about having Genia at HB, his pass is so much more accurate than Stirzaker.

I didn't concentrate on him, Stirzaker, but he seemed to have a good game.
He has clearly got some speed and nicely put Korobete in the clear for a runaway try.
Can't see Genia being anywhere near that quick, the new coach will have a conundrum with those two, Genia might be better coming on late though 800k says he will be on for the whole game.
My bias is that Genia is over rated.

He did well to set up that try.

To many times his first pass was all over the shop, makes it hard for our 10 when he does not know where the ball is coming.

Genia is a lot better than Stirzaker, his experience is just what the Rebels need too.

I would think just that speed would be a perfect sub to make when legs are tired later on in the game. Much more effective that way I would think.

Could be right, I was thinking of some creativity coming on when they are tired.Like Jono coming on after Grant for the last few games worked nicely?

In saying that I think Grant and Jono are a lot better combo than those two, but I am biased.

Did not get to see all of the Rising game, but from the parts I did see and the highlights I am really liking Maddocks. Very quick and hard to bring down in a tackle.

Thought McGregor looked ok for his first run at this level, defense positioning needs a lot of work but pass and kicking was pretty good. Was not afraid to attack the line and threw a good cut out pass for the Maddocks try.

Guys, let's wait for the ARU to issue formal notice of WF closure and player release before we start to speculate and discuss the 2018 roster.

That's why i avoided any Force players. Would be tasteless to speculate with all that's going on

Josh Fenner is a young fella (18 this year) playing for the Rising after also spending time with the Brumbies 10's squad.

Although wouldn't be one for the top squad right now, he would be a great pick up and has played prem grade all year this year in brisbane in the second row, a fine achievement which not many school leavers can manage in the fowards

Didn't really keep an eye on him tbh, but I'm sure he's a fine lad to have competing with the likes of Tupai and Haangaana for Full/EPS spots, Next two or three weeks will be key for everybody hoping for a spot.

So, I've been trying to think of a present we can give the soon-to-be-renamed Force, as a way of saying congratulations for the new league.

They can have our stadium announcer, drummers, fireworks team and the cheerleaders. Half time "dancers" thrown in for free.

I know AF has shit-loads of cash and can buy much better, well, nearly everything, but it is the thought that counts.

I'm just glad I can still get a 30c ice-cream at Macca's. With the $1 we got from Coxy, we can buy 3 cones for our next home game crowd; that should just about be 1 lick each.


:D

Taf wants to go overseas, but some players want to head over to Melbourne. From Panda.


Meanwhile, Wallabies hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau is moving closer to an overseas move. The rake is fuming at the cutting of the Force and wants out — knowing he qualifies for Australia under the Giteau Law having played 73 Tests.


Adam Coleman, brothers Dane and Ross Haylett-Petty, Richard Hardwick and Jono Lance are set to join Melbourne Rebels along with coach Dave Wessels, while Bill Meakes is tipped to join NSW Waratahs.
