Why someone from SA.
We have a few huge locks in the academy that need a go. The only ones that get a real go out of the Academy's are the NSW boys.

Kyle Godwin is staying at the Force until the end of 2015.
He was already contracted until the end of 2014 so this is some great news. A good looking team for next year.

That's great news for the Force.
The two games this week have at least provided an insight into some potential players for next year.
Ed Stubbs looks like he'll be useful next year and perhaps should be ahead of Jacobs and Stanley.
DHP is a definite starter next year at either wing or fullback and adds some quality to the outside backs.
Sam Norton Knight is worth keeping as a bench option and provides excellent defence. He was much better against the Lions than Ebersohn was against the Tahs.
Corey Brown showed great pace and looked useful. Whilst I don't see him as a certain matchday player every week he'd be a good person to have in the squad.

junior is becoming a good 13 option and i think you should stick with him
who is DHP?
i doubt cummins is going anywhere. good squad for next year, you guys will be tough to beat once you get that backline in shape.

Dane Haylett-Petty.
He was part of the Force squad until 2010 and then he went and played a couple of years in France for Biarritz.
He played on the wing against the B&I Lions last Wednesday.

If Cummins stays, I'd prefer to move him back to 13. Rasolea looked good on attack in his few games there but his defence might need a little work.

Just on Cummins word on TWF is that he hasn’t signed with anyone but is waiting to see if the ARU will give him a Top Up.
Would be a real shame if they didn’t as he would more than like head overseas as well as a slap in the face to the Force for not coming to the Party to help keep one of their stars

Your article also talks about Marcel Brache and Chris Heiberg...
I first tought the "big name" would be from the Stormers but Steenkamp is a great pick!
It is gonna be tough for the Bulls as they are also losing Juandre Kruger to Racing Metro 92.

This backline looks like a big improvement compared to this year's one, both Holmes and Morahan are way better than the players we have in these positions now. We only need a reliable 13 and there'll be no excuses for poor backline tactics.
I have said for a long time Force should target valuable players from other Australian franchises that are on the bench on a regular basis for a reason or another. Maybe Kuridrani won't travel to Perth beacuse he's becoming White's first choice in the Brumbies, but Brumbies, Reds and Waratahs are full of players of this kind: McCabe, Andrew Smith, A. Fainga'a, Rob Horne, Harris, Kingston just to name a few that come into my mind.
Anyway, we're talking too much about the backline, forgetting we have problems in the forwards as well. Am I perhaps the only one not to be satisfied with it?

herald sun and affiliated papers reporting that force CEO is resigned to losing cummins as they can't match the offer he's gotten from france.

Same rule applies to the Western Force as does in the Mining community.

If you want all these athletes to move West away from their families then a premium must be paid. Honestly who wants to live in Perth? (EastCoastJAB)

Yes its true we have to spend big to get players here and the standard of player who comes here then doesnt get any top up from the aru so thats why force need to pay big.
Another reason why the top up system should be scrapped and that money given to the clubs to really create an even playing field. Wont happen though.
