a whole lot of hypotheticals here, i have a few mates who move around and shift jobs constantly, just because they like a change, i know its not the same as professional rugby, but its along similar lines

he is abysmal.
He looked OK in Sydney Club at times, big, fast-ish but nothing to make him near special

I'm led to believe he's one of those players who cleaned up Shute Shield and Europe but there are big question marks over whether he will be anything in Super rugby.
I wouldn't be worried if I was the Force though, Inman is a great prospect and Cummins is good cover at OC.

What!? Remember last years injuries? I'd think there would be people at that organisation scarred for life.

They did lose George Smith, not really many that could replace him, if any.
Sorry just realised how old this post is..

JOC (James O'Connor) to 10?

They have Ripia to play 10.
Id prefer to see JOC (James O'Connor) at 12 or 15 personally.
A replacement for Cross. Like for like but not as good.

I'd like to see JOC (James O'Connor) at 15 for the Force & Shepherd on the wing, I think Beale has pretty much sewn up the wallaby 15 jumper & if he gets injured I'd rather see JOC (James O'Connor) come into the wallabies as a direct replacement for Beale & just leve AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to concentrate on 13.
My other reason being that I prefer bigger wingers like Shepherd, Ioane, Mitchell & Hynes in test rugby.

JOC (James O'Connor) has to play 12 next year I think, with Inman at 13. A nice combination of silky skills and footwork and hard straight running. They could do some damage with enough decent front foot ball.

The only issue with having Shepherd at 15 is that his hamstring is a weakness.
He didnt play 15 at the Force last year because he didnt feel that his hammy was up to the kicking. Is he going to be fine for 2011 to play 15? If so, then i would like to see him there and JOC (James O'Connor) at 12.
If not, then JOC (James O'Connor) to 15 and Staniforth to 12.
If JOC (James O'Connor) plays 12, and Shepherd isnt able to play 15, then I guess Bart is the next choice for fullback.

If Shep is fit, he has to play full back for mine. If he's not, then I'd be inclined to give Dellit a crack at it.

Would love to see JOC (James O'Connor) play 10/12 although with Ripia arriving and pressure from robbie we may see him at 15 or worst case on the wing.
Shep should play 15 with cullet and stanno on the wings, inman and JOC (James O'Connor) in the centres and ripia at 10.
Also someone edited JOC (James O'Connor)'s wikipedia page:
"| nickname = Rabbit, James O'Goggleface
| spouse = husband | children = Numerous
James O'Connor is in relationship wit his hair straightener... sadly, it has no gender.
O'Connor was one of eight athletes selected to compete in the season of Australia's Greatest Athlete broadcast on Channel Seven in February 2010. Sadly, he lost to Billy Slater, who can benchpress him.

Perhaps Browning would be a good Force signing as they've shown in the past they have no issue with getting the kiddies young and they lack a real go forward 8 in their squad (they are all work rate orientated).
Yes yes, I know Browning hasn't played 8 at a high level yet but if the Force have any spots in their squad left perhaps it would be a clever move.

Jeez I am a fan of Browning enforcer but not that much. No matter how good a schoolboy is I am never in favour of throwing them straight into S14, especially in the forward pack. Give him academy spot, sure, but I would be a little bit annoyed if another recent schoolboy is thrown too far into the deep end in S14 footy.
He is a great player, as are many in this years crop, but I think the dangers of selecting them too high too early have been played out many times already.
