Western Force 2025

[Strewthcobber]

NSWRU and RA are one and the same organisation now?

The organisation that also owns the Brumbies now?




Sorry

 

[Wilson]

I wonder who the available former rebels players are who are still available to replace him? Can't include those already gone.

Ripley? Vaihu (s)?

As in for the tahs? Not sure they need any more outside backs with Kellaway, Sua'ali'i and Lancaster coming in. Maybe they'll grab another of the fringe guys but I took it to refer to the guys they'd already pulled in.

Sorry

That's what scares me Strewth.

[Tazzmania]

Some intresting names in that squad looking for contracts:
Mac Greely
Coby Miln
Titi Nofoagatotoa
Silafono Titiuti
Isaac Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens
Patelesio Tomkinson

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Frustrating that Pasitoa and Moli still injured. Not sure if Moli will ever take the field for us and Pasitoa hopefully comes right.

Looking forward to seeing the new players and first 2 games are on Stan

Poor Pasitoa… injury prone.

Injury prone, Pasitoa is.

Correct, Ghost of Raelene is!

If the Force can jag Petaia and talk him out of getting smoked in the NFL they will have a fair roster.

I imagine this is down to money at this stage and if RA will offer the top up given he is currently injured

I like the look of :

10 Pasitoa, 12 Kuenzle, 15 Donaldson if and when all are fit. Pasitoa at 10 because all four Super Rugby franchises are bereft of quality 10s otherwise and he just might live up to his early promise as a schoolboy. The Force owe it to the country to test him out.

At this point, I think it's more a case of Pasitoa owing it to the Force.

I like 10 Donaldson, 12 Pasitoa , 15 Potter

 

[Clubhouse coach]

I like Pasitoa as a 15, big boot, good hands, solid defender and a big body. Although I wouldn’t be disappointed if he ended up at 10 or 12.
Here’s hoping he can get an injury free run

Donaldson won the Nathan Sharpe medal at 10. Don’t think Cron will be shifting him anytime soon.

Pasitoa is a terrific footballer but more of a 12 for me. I just hope he gets back on the field and his body holds up. Burey or Potter for the 15 jersey.

 

[todd4]

Burey or Potter for the 15 jersey.

Or Grealy

 

[hammertimethere]

10. Donaldson
11. Pietsch
12. Stewart
13. Kuenzle (pending fitness)
14. Potter
15. Grealy (he’ll go well and you’ll sign him).

21. IFL
22. Pasitoa
23. Burey

Reesjan is going to be a gun midfielder if he stays fit.

 

[ForceFan]

Pasitoa is a terrific footballer but more of a 12 for me. I just hope he gets back on the field and his body holds up.

Me too!
He was having a fantastic season this year with Perth-Bayswater - his home club. So often a stand-out on the field.
Reesjan played every position from 10 thru 15 as required (often during 80 minutes for best effect) and was calling the game for the backs.
He's improved his kicking as well.
He was fantastic to watch and then hurt his shoulder.
I'm impressed by just how positive he presents wehn recovering from injury - ALL of the time.
So pleased that he's still so young!

Cron prefers to mix-and-match combinations depending upon the opposition and the game plan.
Injury prevented this showing too much in 2024 but high hopes for 2025.
