Only really Ollie Norris, Josh Ioane,Atu Moli as main losses, and I wonder if them and Nanai-Seturo having Covid has anything to do woth how they played last week?
Not saying it was or anything, but a few players looked bloody listless at time last week, especially Ioane.
Expecting a wet and wild weekend around country this weekend, so may not be real flasg ground conditions, although FMG is tradionally a field that holds up bloody well.
Whoops just found this
Unavailable for selection:
Reuben O’Neill, Gideon Wrampling, Simon Parker, Brodie Retallick, Josh Ioane, Sione Mafileo, Laghlan McWhannell, Anton Lienert-Brown, Shaun Stevenson, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Ollie Norris, Atu Moli, Jonah Lowe

Guess I had better add Lurch, ALB, and Jonal Lowe as real losses. One of the bench players is an U20 prop too, that's a big call.

Hard to see force winning with this team as force depth being tested. Reminder of recruitment challenges with 5 of the force starting line up heading overseas next year.

Hell are they losing 5 of starting line up? I assume Kahui and Thrush must be just about done to RN.
Have Force got much in the way of young fellas coming through, or will they just try and get them from other states/countries?

They have some very good young players in the Academy coming through, but they will definitely need augmenting.

Force scrum is just awful, Tribe accruing penalties at will & surely a YC can't be too far away (or even a PT if/ when they get one close to the line).

Got to say that was shit by the Argie player for the Force, drive in from side of ruck into Cane's leg from side, great way to stuff up a knee, and it worked.
That was cheap shot mothing more or less.
