    Western Force 2024

    Says he might not be available next year? What is the option next year?

    Western Force 2024

    Yeah I had too, if he is only 26 then that is a loss

    Western Force 2024

    I think it was Wayne Bennett during his Bronco years that said you need 20% turnover a year to keep the team fresh and I don’t think it’s as dire as this thread suggests. Simpson and Kiribige were loan players so never ours. Faainga was signed knowing he was going. Mataele is probably nearing...

    He was back in the Perth league for the last few games of the season

    Western Force 2024

    From the Force email, my guess is Donaldson New Signing Announced Tomorrow Can you guess our new signing off these five clues? 1. He is the same age as Max Burey 2. His Super Rugby debut was against the Force 3. He attended the same high school as Scotty Cam and Morgan Turinui 4. He...

    Western Force 2024

    McCauley never seemed to really kick on. With Rodda, Williams, Sankey and Kalapu, we have a decent starting side there. Pugh is also bracketted as a lock, but I think he isnt tall enough tbh. Do we need another lock with those 5?

    Western Force 2024

    Burey is a good signing. He adds depth there too with Pasitoa and potentially Donaldson. Wasnt massively impressed with Poolman, but he is young and he will be better for the experience last season. Hope to see some improvement next season.

    Wallabies 2023

    No love for Fines? He has been a revelation in Perth.

    Western Force 2024

    Yeah, I still think Pasitoa, with Fines and White partnering him, should get a decent crack. His opportunities so far have been limited. But he is still unproven so Donaldson coming across is not a bad thing either. It creates competition for a starting spot. And its a long season so hopefully...

    Australian Super Rugby Team of the Week 2023

    … which is why I said 0 were too many. None of them deserved a spot. It was a poor performance.

    Australian Super Rugby Team of the Week 2023

    Too many Force players in these lineups. Louwrens lived in Perth since he was 16, bar a couple of years in SA. I think he must have hit 10 years now.

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    They didn’t have a better points differential going into the match though. mum sorry I just don’t buy the Rebels being better than their position suggests. They are there for a reason.

    I like it, and it has history

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    It’s still real, but it is misleading. Force will always travel more distance due to being so far from the rest of the comp. What you need to look at is the away games schedule.

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    It’s really not. Let’s not go down that path. Force shouldn’t have had 4 games in NZ. That is a scheduling issue. And partly due to their home ground not being available (not a super rugby issue but an Aus govt one prioritising women’s soccer over rugby, and the A league).

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    If you do, turn it off after the first 7 or so minutes. It’s really good to that point…

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    Kiribige is one of the best wings out there. I hope we keep him next year. Mataele can break defences. Pulu is solid but not going to score the types of tries Mataele or Kiribige can.

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    Yeah, I’d bring Hodge in the squad. But he is not a part of the top 23. Having said that, knock out games are defensive and win by kicking. So maybe he has a place. There are likely reasons I am not a Wallaby selector or coach.

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    While I agree the draw was awful for the Force (and they lost a home game to that super round), but that figure is misleading and artificially increased because any travel for the Force is a minimum of 3k km.

    Rebels vs Force - Friday 26 May 2023

    Kiribige and Mataele are better than Pulu, and Pulu isn’t a fullback. Not sure if he breaks into the team.
