And i think defences in Top 14 are better than in Super Rugby. You won't see final results of 54-48 in Top 14.

Only cos they don't know how to score tries ;)

Could Johnny Wilkinson be tempted to try his hand at Super Rugby before hanging his boots up for good?

The Force definitely need some added star power who are not only going to deliver the results on field but excite the wider rugby fan base of the Force. At the moment we only have David Pocock who you would rate as an out and out top line star player (as Sharpe is retiring). There are some promising players on the second tier but it's your top line stars that help to attract other talent to the team. RugbyWA and whoever the new coach is (hopefully a star in his own right) need to have a good look at the player group and recruit for success. Top of the list is a top notch 10 and inside centre. I don't know who's available but I hope seriously efforts are being put into the search.

I would!

He was a good servant of the Force after getting stiffed on the 3rd part deal. Even better was his form at the Brumbies last year. We just need to find a coach he is scared of.......

Star power? How about a really good coach? How about Penney, or Cheika (if he'd leave Paris) or Louden?

Look what White has done with kids. He has transformed that team.

Tom Carter who is off contract with the 'Tahs after this season is exactly the sort of experienced player who would provide backline starch and leadership for the Force.

Rod Davies will also be a possible signing if the force are looking for a talented yet flawed player to add a bit of squad depth.

No one outside Sydney rates him

Don't blame me for the message, I'm just the messenger

Nah, he's no McCabe...

However, the Force are hardly in a position to be able to reject a player like Tom Carter...

^^i think to say the australian team performances as embarrassing is a bit harsh....brumbies played well last night the ref jsut rape them in the end and the reds are unlucky with the injuries they have had. but mcabe and occonnor are the form 12's. We dont need carter we need a 12 who can play the ball

I am in the same boat. He has really improved this year in my view. He has always been solid and reliable but he has added another dimension to his game this year.

I've also given Tommy some stick, but right now he'd be better than any other option we (Force) have at 12. We still need a 10 though.

Would their be merit in perhaps the force using there overseas marquee spot to sign a Lock and using solving there flyhalf/12 crisis by signing up someone like Sam Lane? He has shown that he is an adept 10 but apparently he feels better at 12 (correct me if I am wrong) He isn't contracted to the reds for next year and has shown that he is has the potential to be a real threat or perhaps the force should see if they can lure halanghu from the Tahs since he is getting no time.....but I think the force would be silly not to enquire about lane.
