Front row is ok, not great, though faulkner is not a THP. Van Wyk looked ok in the time he has had and foley would probably want him to stay on and continue to improve. ditto hoskins.
Foley favoured Wykes over Steenkamp and I dont see a great deal of difference between the two, I actually think he is a better jumper in the lineout. I think mafi should be played at 6 and have coleman and steenkamp as the starting locks. Rory should be moved on and the force should look to sign a developing lock that can hang around for a while, like a botha or kleyn at the stormers or De Jager at the Cheetahs.
Don't think there is room for Stander as much as like his work ethic when he is on the field.
The force should probably try to resign prior as it is unlikely that mathewson will be allowed to stay past 2016 and then bring louwrens up to a full contact when mathewson goes.
10 is the bogey position, Holmes would have thought he would get more game time than he has and he may try his luck overseas. Not sure who else that is quality would want to come to Perth. West from the Blues?
The Force need a 13 (which godwin is not) someone like Vorster, brache can play across the backline, Rasolea was good last year but have hardly seen him, would have to think he would be the one making way.
The outside backs look like a real problem, could potentially see dellit, Cummins, Yamada gone as well as Scott and Nikoro, who have just not been able to break into the run on side. that leaves Morahan whose performances have been questionable in any event and DHP as the sole solid performer. A cleanout is required.
All seems like wishful thinking giving the nature of the franchise and who they could realistically attract but the brains trust need to be pouring over the player zodiac if they want to improve next season.
