Western Force 2022

[Tomikin]

Tim Sampson probably coach most them before.. I'm gutted but all of them were depth / injury cover ATM so glad they get game time next year..

Fines is a gun wish we kept him his better then Lonergan

 

[RugbyReg]

Perhaps likely that the Force backline next year or soon after will be :

Fines, Pasitoa, Pulu, Kuenzle, Kuridrani, Tapine, ? Potentially a top class lineup, but one that looks somewhat familiar to Brumbies fans.

Not to mention the fact that they were all recruited by the Brumbies from somewhere else in the first place...... Not exactly local talent they are losing.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if the Brumbies signed some of them at a young age and developed them into Super Rugby players......... because, geography?

At the least, Twiggy can send over some flowers and a thank you card.

In all seriousness, Fines needed to return to the Force - he's too good to be a 2nd/3rd string halfback..........

Ben Meehan would be a good pick up for the Force, has left London Irish and was always the better half back then Stirzaker at the Rebels except TM picked his favorite. Was even keeping Phipps on the bench at Irish.

Fines-Leleiwasa, McDonald and Prior. Doubt they need Meehan. Best fit would probably be the tahs as he would sit above Grant.

With central contracting proposed under this new afl style commission better get use to it

Did not make any claims about being Brumbies juniors, just a comment that they have all been through the Brumbies system.

Calm down wolf creek.. yes the Brumbies have a small catchment so they recuirt out of state.. good luck to the boys going for fame time.. wonder if kunzal and pasitoa knew the other was signing.. could end up in the same position in a worse team... More Sun though

Same agent. Plus Fines. Not sure about Tapine.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Gees always liked the look of kuenzel and potential to be good 12 - last game proved that for me - I reckon you guys got a gem there and Pasitoa if he lives up to hype would be another good acquisition and long term heir for 10 position

I so get frustrated by nsw or reds supporters wooing the loss of talent to other state super rugby sides who have much smaller local catchment. It actually works for them as players will be attracted to the game knowing they have options outside of 1 state side and FFS brumbies have proved time and time again best place to develop players and create future wallabies so frankly I don’t see the problem. This is healthy...

Also there is the go home factor, the Force Brumbies and Rebels can look to recruit Tahs or Reds juniors put the time and effort into developing them for them to want to go home

 

[VassMan]

Hopefully Timani sticks around longer now he's involved in Wallabies again!

That is a really good signing, remeber watching the boy in GPS in Brisbane a couple of years back.
Also really impressed with reasoning of bringing back good young local talent, a great wau to keep support for team!

 

[RugbyReg]

the three others confirmed too now. All for two years - Fines, Kuenzle and Tapine.

 

[Mr Pilfer]

The Force is slowly building up its WA raised players again. Ollie Callan, Michael McDonald have just got a run, Grayson Makara has been on the bench and is quality. A lot of WA raised players still playing in other Super Rugby teams. The WA under 18's just beat NSW. When the Force were cut the development was pushed back probably 3 or 4 years and is now building up again. So we will still need to rely on some eastern states or overseas recruitment for a few years but hopefully not forever. The WA Premier Grade comp is looking very strong again now. As mentioned this is good for everyone.
