The Force need all the help they can get based on recent performances

Yeah, destroying a team and needing to rebuild from scratch definitely not a factor. Nor continually having a severe disadvantage in salary cap. Nor constant white anting from RA (note leaked stories in the last few weeks from RA in regards to Sampson being replaced, FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) leaving, etc., as well...

No Rodda and Robbo still for the Force makes it a much tougher prospect. Rest of the team looks solid though. Pretty rough on Lacey after a great game last week to be left right out, and same for Fines-Leleiwasa who has generally been very good. But definitely need to get some game time into...

Hooper and Gamble starting will be tough to deal with. This is the side I'd like to see: 1. Robertson (hopefully he's back) 2. Kaitu'u 3. Holmes (need to ensure we've got parity or advantage at scrum time) 4. Rodda 5. FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) (Thrush is solid, but would prefer the extra mobility and workrate of FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner)...

Where are you seeing this updated team list Equalizer? Can you post it please? If Rodda is out, that is definitely a big loss for the Force. Interesting that Sankey has leapfrogged Macauley and Pugh. Looking forward to seeing Tapine given some minutes.

Something like this would make a lot of sense and help even the playing field. For example, if the Tahs were the team receiving the highest total wallaby top-ups for a year, there could be something like: Force Salary Cap = Base salary cap + 50% x (Waratahs total top ups minus tops ups being...

I also doubt they are intentionally biased against a particular franchise. However given RA and the Wallabies staff (outside of the players) have pretty much no WA representation, would visit the Force far less than the other clubs (due to it being further away and inconvenient), and likely...

I wasn't questioning why FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) hasn't been given a top-up, but why he hasn't even been considered as being on the fringes and given a call by the wallabies coaching staff in regards to what he needs to work on to potentially get a call up. I think that's probably all that would've been required to...

https://www.rugby.com.au/news/lalakai-foketi-resigns-with-australian-rugby-nsw-waratahs-2022330 So a Waratah that's a very fringe wallaby (at best) gets a 2 year contract with an RA top-up, but FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) who has been playing consistently and banging the door down for national selection for the last 3...

We must have been watching a different game. I thought McIntyre was terrible. So many loopy passes ruining attacking opportunities and a very average kicking game with his pop gun boot. Could'nt believe they left him on for 70 with Pasitoa sitting on the bench

My bad. Fixed now.

FORCE (1-15): Harrison Lloyd, Feleti Kaitu’u (c), Santiago Medrano, Jeremy Thrush, Izack Rodda, Fergus Lee-Warner, Kane Koteka, Brynard Stander, Ian Prior, Jake McIntyre, Manasa Mataele, Bayley Kuenzle, Kyle Godwin, Toni Pulu, Jake Strachan RESERVES: Andrew Ready, Bo Abra, Greg Holmes, Tim...

Yeah, seems a strange decision to me. Pasitoa has missed the quick service from Prior the last 2 games, but certainly hasn't been the main problem. Likely been made worse by the slower ruck ball also with the Reds and Waratahs doing a pretty good job in slowing us down there. Would've preferred...

Link to Article Have you guys actually read the article regarding this (link above)? Some rather relevant excerpts as below: “They weren’t drunk or intoxicated on the plane, they each had one to two glasses of wine with their meals, but this was a player-led decision and it was determined that...

1. Bell 2. Kaitu’u 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Rodda 5. Swain 6. FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) 7. McReight 8. Anstee 9. Prior 10. Pasitoa 11. Muirhead 12. Kahui 13. Godwin 14. Mataele 15. Banks

As a force supporter, gotta say I'm happy to see Gordon benched and To'omua at 10. Appears much less threatening, and greatly increases the chance of an intercept try or two for the Force.

While trying to tackle him. When is it ever ok to throw a ball at a player like that? This isn't rugby league.

Disappointing result, but very promising signs for the force. They looked the better team. That forward pass call was a travesty and how the brumbies didn't have a yellow card or two in the first half between the Swain late hit, white holding onto the ball on the wrong side of the ruck 2m out...

Would you have to field front-rowers in positions 1 to 3 and 16 to 18 if the game was starting with uncontested scrums? I'm guessing not if you have insufficient props available, which would completely change the contest. Having a combination of 3 extra locks, backrowers or backs on the field...

Think you could probably add Ryan Louwrens, Anaru Rangi, Kane Koteka, Michael Ruru, Chance Peni, Luke Burton, Harry Scoble, Curtis Rona, Semisi Masirewa, James Verity-Amm and Michael McDonald to that list of local(ish) players that were lost to the east, league or elsewhere after the cut. (That...
