Force 2023

[farva]

Nah would prefer Waqa, younger and will have something to prove.

Going back to Rona, JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor) etc is not the way forward I don’t think.

OConnor might not be the way forward but Rona would be a great get. He still has a few years left in his career, is Wallaby quality, and is a local product.

What's the latest on Rodda, is he on track to play again this year?

I think he is aiming to be back for the Brumbies clash 20 May.

Very informative discussion with Jimmy Duffy - WF Forwards Coach - from The Rugby Wrap.
Some commentary on Perth Club rugby, poor attendance at Super Rugby, RugbyAu Chairman not sticking to his lane.

A fully fit starting 15 would be mighty impressive

1 - Robertson
2 - Fainga'a
3 - Medrano
4 - Williams
5 - Rodda
6 - Anstee
7 - Tizzano
8 - Naisarani
9 - Isaac FL
10 - Burey
11 - Kibirige
12 - Stewart
13 - Spink
14 - Mataele
15 - Tiatia

Burey's been very good, but Pasitoa would still be the first choice 10.

Hard to leave out Vosayaco the way he is going
Would be a strong bench though, with Koteka, Kalapu, Pulu etc

Absolutely he would. I meant this season. Any news on when he'll be available?

Also, I seem to remember Pasitoa never taking any pens or conv's? Prior / Kunzle / Strachan would step in? Burey has gone 3/3, 4/6 & 6/6. 87% in you first 3 super rugby games is very impressive.

Conversions & pens have been shocking this year. It's been great to get that particular facet on track.

Bench for that team would be something like...

16. Kaituu 17. Wagner 18. Amone 19. Kalapu 20. Wells 21. Simpson 22. Pasitoa 23. Pulu

 

[Tazzmania]

Had a brief chat with Pasitoa on Saturday, recovery going well, he has started training. He is looking fit and well and has bulked up a bit. Got the feeling we will not see him during the super rugby season but rather in the development games later in the year against the Cheetahs.

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Force have apparantly signed Harry Potter for next year. Great pick up to add depth and competition to outside centre and wings

Exclusive: Salakaia-Loto signs with Rebels to rocket into RWC mix as two leave, Force bring home another Aussie

Australian rugby has received a huge boost ahead of the World Cup, with Lukhan Salakaia-Loto to return Down Under less than 12 months after…

Wingardium Leviosa is also quite handy when fielding high balls

Thumbs down emoji. Like you say, hopefully a speedy recovery

Rough on Robertson.

He did his ACL late in 2018 which also meant his chances of making the 2019 RWC were largely ruined.

Good to see three WF Academy members in the initial Wallabies U20 team to play NZ.
#5 - Jhy Legg
#7 - Ned Slack-Smith (VC)
#14 - Ronan Leahy

A pleasant surprise to see a good half-page coverage for rugby in the West Australian today.
