Western Force 2013

La Grange might be a target with the Lions leaving the S15?

He has signed with Treviso in Italy.

 

[Forcefield]

It's a shame Nathan Sharpe is leaving. He could cover 12.

 

[thierry dusautoir]

Shouldn't they use the Ace they're holding for a #12? Seems to be the last puzzle piece.

While not setting the world alight, Lynn and Wykes should be a serviceable lockng combo, no?

I imagine Godwin, Ebersohn and Harvey will fill the 10/12 between them. But also there is a lot more solid 12s out there in club land than tight five leaders

 

[TOCC]

I still reckon Winston Stanley is your answer to 12

 

[thierry dusautoir]

Hasn't shown it besides we need a bit more of a play maker at 12 to act as a foil for cummins. Otherwise the ball will never get wide. Godwin has to start

 

[Bowside]

Are the force lads playing any club rugby at the moment?

I know Sheehan and Cummins are, and sharpe is with the wallabies, but what about the rest of the squad?

 

[TOCC]

been in the Force backline through 2011, it was a bit hard for any player to show anything

Harvey should never go near a starting 15 again, signing him baffled me, he is nowhere near Super Rugb quality.

 

[brokendown]

it raised a few eyebrows over here in the West,I assure you

A decent number of them are, yeah.

Salesi Manu is playing for North Harbour in ITM Cup in NZ. He will only be better for the experience. Great prospect.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Dont be suprised if a few of the dead weight players are not around next year. Word is they are looking to pay out a few contracts to free some spots up.

Godwin is playing club rugby in perth and is killing it. I guesd thats what you would expect but he is getting better every week.

I would like to see the following team start:

Longbottom, Charles, Ma'afu
Wykes, Lynn
Cottrell, Hodgson, McCalman
Mathewson, Ebersohn
Godwin, Tupou
Cummins, Mafi, Rapana

Whittaker, Cowen, Battye, McCafferty / Alcock
Turner, Seymour, Dellitt

That isnt bad. Would be good to have another established wing though.

That would prob be my team.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

That backline certainly looks a lot better, Farva.

 

[Bowside]

The force backline is still needs a another centre and another winger to be competitive.

 

[Bowside]

Considering centre and winger are positions where younger guys can most easily make the step up*, taking a punt of some the academy prospects might not be such a bad idea.

(*As opposed to say prop or lock.)

We do have Junior Rasolea signed up i would say he would be a wing prospect to start with. and Knorten-Knight in the centres but who knows what we will get out of him.
