Western Force 2025

[Filipo Daugunu]

With the news of Felix Kalapu joining the Waratahs with the troubles they are having in the second row, does anyone know what the story was with him being released from the Force with a year on his bid? I remember him signing a 3 year deal for 2023-2025 seasons and being quite impressed with him in 2023 (particularly work-rate and ball-carry) before busting himself in the 2024 pre-season. Was it because he wasn’t Aussie-qualified so they let him go? Had huge potential but glad he’s landed elsewhere in Australia.

Unfortunately, it appears that Campbell had ongoing issues with fitness.

What a bizarre comment given the circumstances

What a bizarre comment given the circumstances

response to the comment about Campbell Parata and the fact he was a schoolboy superstar that was even taken back to NZ yet he has not been able to produce a dominant series of games in the big boys arena.

That comment being connected to the fact he never played a game for the Force due to a series of injuries/surgeries?

Yeah, bit of a bizarre take, he's only young too, so it's not as though he's over the hill.

Strange move by the Force might’ve been due to him not being Aussie-qualified.
Kalapu was impressive in 2023, and it’s great he’s landed at the Waratahs to help their second-row issues!
