Western Force 2025

Thought they farewelled fines-leleiwasa?

He's headed to the Drua, but given Hastie is off playing NPC there's not much issue keeping him around, but hopefully they'll be picking Robertson and Aiken for most games. A little unclear what's happening with Phillipson though.

Harry Hoopert, Harry Johnson-Holmes and Doug Philipson are also unavailable due to knee injuries.

The squad would seem to suggest that all the remaining players off contract (except Princep) have or are playing to be re-signed for next year. I still hope that Princep is signed as we really need him at the back end of games and add good quality depth, however as this is a " development" type team I can understand why he may have been omitted or decided to sit this one out.

The real interesting one is Papillon Seville who just has not managed to get onto a field for the past couple of years with so many injuries but obviously the coaches see something worth perservering with so I am looking forward to seeing what he can deliver.

Bradley Kuhn the other one of interest. He looks like a mobile tight head prop, already 24 played club rugby in Brisbane and for Sun Goliath in Japan. Seems to have American roots. Here are some of his Japanese highlights.
