Coleman was on the radio this morning and said his relationship with Wessels was strong after his time at the Brumbies under Jake White and that helped him decide on the move.
He also said his playing position would be as a 12.

So bit of good momentum for force leading into pre season training with spirit winning nrc and new recruit billy meakes showing the real deal.
With recruitment of coleman (particularly as utility player can cover many different backline positions) adds depth to the bench as lack of depth what has hurt force in the past and looking like got better depth for this season.

If you believe in the future of rugby as a national game please support the petition to save the progress made in rugby in WA by the Force to grow the game in WA. We support the pathways and programs put in place by the ARU as outlined in the ARUs 5 year strategic plan to grow rugby in Australia. We do not support the continuing negative media driven speculation about the future of rugby in Western Australia. We believe rugby is a game for everyone and the opportunities presented by Rugby to all participants, whether in NSW, QLD, ACT, Victoria or WA are afforded to all. We all love our rugby and the communities brought together by rugby. Thank you for your support. Long live Aussie Rugby, a game for everyone.

Quite interesting stuff.
The Force appear to be safe (with the support of the ARU).
It may be the Brumbies that are in strife long term.

I've also signed the petition and left a little message. In all honesty I think Bill supports the Force still being part of the competition. I don't think it's him we have to convince, just a bunch of other people.

I forwarded petition link to couple of rugby mates who would not frequent this site....suggest others do the same...
Personally with only 5 professional rugby sides against many more professional AFL, league and a-league sides - having less professional oz rugby sides just seems to me to be pressing the self destruct button and not addressing the root cause issues of why we can't even support 5 professional rugby sides in oz as we need more professional pathways in rugby to compete against other football codes in oz- not less.....

Yes I think Bill would be pretty devastated if we had to give up any Super Rugby side as I do credit him as intelligent bloke and more visionary than some of his predecessors.....
