Much needed signing for the Force, brings additional stregnth to the scrum and will help having a big bodied forward to help get some good go forward.

We need to sign a quality wing to pair with Mataele. Someone genuinely quick and powerful. Luckily such players just grow on trees, should have no problems finding one :)

Article states he has signed to end of 2024. I had been hearing he only signed for one year. This is better news.

I think a decent 13 is far more important.

Mataele and Pulu are fine as starters, but there is ONLY 1 proper centre on the books and not a good one.

Is Godwin gone?

The Forces recruiting is somewhat underwhelming. They should have both cap space and actual money to get some overseas talent back but so far they've just got Rodda and some scraps.

Yes Godwin has gone.

The signings have only just started to be announced, hopefully there are a lot more to come.

Last year they did pretty well in getting Fines, Kuenzle and Pasitoa from the Brumbies as well as Rodda and Mataele.

So far Wells and Fainga'a. I have faith in Twiggy to deliver some more

Not to mention the signing of Cron will hopefully turn out to the best signing of them all

One thing we know in the West is Twiggy doesn't want to be second best. He'll be driving this to succeed through his lieutenant Matt Hodgson.

Yeah he has the right number of Super Caps. Just finished with New York in the MLR. Would be a nice pick up. No doubt our NZ contingent have sold Perth to him.
