Western Force 2025

Are we maybe overlooking Reesjan Pasitoa? I think he has looked awesome in the limited times we have seen him. Very dynamic player. Him at 12 could be a great option. Unfortunate he has had a bad run of injuries.

Pop gun backline?

Didn’t that popgun backline put 40 on the Reds this year?

With the amount of players we have that fall into this boat, I'm wondering if it's just bad luck and not poor training methods. Guys like Jack Dempsey were constantly injured over here and then move overseas and become ironmen

My question was to ‘UptheReds’, because I don’t think the Force backline is popgun…. Far from it. He obviously forgot the Perth game!

Good to have Tom Franklin and Reed Prinsep locked in for 2025.
Both were top contributors in 2024 when they came in for injury cover.

Great, was hoping they'd both be brought back. Prinsep has that hard edge that you need off the bench.

Reesjan has been well cared for as he is young and has heaps of potential. Recovered well from his knee recon and suffered a badly dislocated elbow in the 2024 pre-season. He's been a top performer for Perth Bayswater in Club Rugby. Good to see him back and hopefully active in the RSA Spring Tour. He adds a lot of depth to some key positions (FH, Centre, FB) and has a real physical presence.

I am absolutely stoked that Reed Princep has been signed.

Workman like player, tough as nails, but a great person on and off the field.

With Tizzano and Stewart, they consistently had the best stats for the Force week in week out.

I'm well aware he's a young talent. But he's seemingly always injured
