Western Force 2025

I think the finals bit is relevant. If the Force had made the finals in 5th or 6th and had to fly to NZ for a quarter final (or whatever we want to call it) then having a bye in the last round would be fantastic.



This to me is the interesting (and important bit). What do the Force actually want and what requests are being made to the competition before each season?

BH. Not sure teams actually have a say in the draw? If they did the Force wouldn’t have had a schedule like this season compared to the Tahs … ?

I don't know how much say teams ultimately get in the draw but they can certainly make requests.

There's already significant scheduling around ground availability and major events.

Force have been the FTA game 9 times - more than anyone else I think? I wonder how much that commercial stuff plays into team's thinking?
