I'm not sure that I fully understand Twitter, but this looks like it is saying that Fruen has signed with the Tribe for next season, probably to try and fill a gap they were holding open for $BW.

That's just not fair.

Well, yes it's an assumption.
I don't believe what JOC (James O'Connor) says. JOC (James O'Connor) has a great habit of saying the right thing, but doing the exact opposite. I believe the reports that say he is a cunning guy that knows exactly what to say publicly and often what he can get away with. Look at what he said publicly prior to the airport SNAFU, or what he said publicly post Hungry Jacks SNAFU. Sure sounded great, but unfortunately it didn't reflect reality.
Personally, I hope he signs with the Force and sticks with rugby, but I'd give it long odds at this stage.

Holy shit they will be good next year. Half their starting XV still have their best rugby ahead of them. Mils mightn't even get a starting spot.
Best of all, they're not pricks either. They're both good honest team men.
This is ridiculous. They'd have to have a better roster than even Toulon now (big call I know, but the Toulon boys are mostly past it).

and then SBW comes back in 2015

I know. As I said on my edit of the above post, Toulon or Chiefs is a worth chat at this point.
I'd say Chiefs, because whilst Toulon have the best roster on paper they're mostly past it and plenty of Chiefs are in their prime of even before it.
I mean seriously, imagine choosing between Aki or Fruen.
And Aki was a bench player for a fair amount of the year.

If you think that's tough who do you choose between Anscombe and Muliaina??

Good to see the Honey Badger re-sign with the Force. Hopefully the back line clicks this year and he gets the opportunity to becomes more of a try scoring machine at S15 level. I still think we need another experienced back going into next season.

I think that's because the coaching stuff are experienced enough to know to blood him slowly.
I read somewhere Anscombe wants to focus on 10 in 2014.
Don't get me wrong. I really rate Aki.
I was just going a step further saying how much talent they have that even Aki couldn't make the starting XV all season.

Absolutely mate, couldn't agree with you more.
Fruen and him are pretty like and like though. Will be interesting to see where the staff goes with this.

Think he is a done deal with the Blues.

Useful looking player.

Is he coming to the Force?

Peter Sullivan (51)
yes as part of the Acadamy
question, is his nick name Quade because he isnt the best defender? not one tackle in that 8min vid.
