It's funny how events play out.

I reckon if the force had of made the changes they are currently making at the end of 2010, than both O'Connor and Pocock would still be in the team. It took both these blokes leaving to do what was necessary to get them to stay..

Agree totally. I think I said at the time that events like this can be the catalyst for positive changes. A bit like when Barnes left QLD. Best thing that ever happened to them.

oh please... RugbyWA has complete control over who they hire, the Force's problems in the player recruitment and retention department extend long before RG became coach.

I have heard that The Force have signed John Grant; formerly of Eastwood & more recently of West Tigers. A pretty speedy outside back for them!

He has such raw potential, size and speed, when i watched him he needed to fix up the 'technical' aspect of his game, maybe the NRL has helped in some regard..

He didn't play a single NRL game. He spent the year playing NSW Cup. He did score a lot of tries though.

That's not a bad pickup. I said after the Shute Shield last year that I couldn't work out why a Super franchise hadn't picked him up. He's certainly got the size and the gas to play at a higher level than Sydney 1st Grade.

Ha, Willie Lose half way in "If he's not playing Super rugby by the end of the year I'll eat my hat"

Wonder how it tasted.

I'd say he didn't write it, looks like a stitch up if you read on and see all the references to Lote Tuqiri..

I wonder if the force have talked to Rohan Saifoloi?

The tahs have gone with lane in the eps which might mean rohan will go elsewhere.

I reckon the force or rebels would be his best bet with a lack of established play makers ahead of him in the pecking order. Dont think the rebels have any spots left however.
