Western Force 2024

[ForceFan]

Not a chance he's a long term Winger. Never seen him play there. Centre and a good one.

Been playing well for Sydney Uni

Interesting that Ronan has been named on the Wing for the Wallabies U20s.

Yeah I think he can do it now while he’s 18 but no chance it’s into the future. Mortlock was on the Wing as well.

He’s been very good at 13 for Sydney Uni 1st Grade so far.

How is he still going around? Bad investments or something - give it up mate I reckon he's got over 300 first-class caps.

He is a highly effective lineout unit, they ramble on for years

 

[Dctarget]

Good on Robertson, includes a 6 month sabbatical to study Public Policy at Oxford too. Smart kid. Didn't realise he's been capped 31 times for the Wallabies, when did that happen? Thought he had 5 or something.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

I do like a sabbatical deal. There should be more of them.

 

[ForceFan]

Great to see Tom Robertson turn adversity into an opportunity with such a positive outlook.
Looking forward to seeing him back for the pre-season in 2nd half of 2024.
Also pleasing to see Mike Cadogen MD still actively supporting Rugby.

It makes sense but I'm mildly horrified that Tom Robertson's nickname is Throbber.

Doctor Throbber. Let that sink in.

That's not his toes you're standing on

It appears he is: link
Ollie Hoskins would be a great get for both the Force and potentially the Wallabies.
A locking duo of Rodda and Coleman would also be world class.

Coleman probably showing up for Tonga - so doubt he would go west for a non top up. About a quarter of what he'd get

 

[Adam84]

Coleman hasn't yet played for Tonga, though has he?

Not yet - was eligible mid way 2022

Former Wallaby latest ex-test star to throw hat in ring for Tonga selection

Nearly three years after his last test for Australia, an ex-Wallaby looks destined to represent to play at next year's World Cup for Tonga.

See if he does!

Nah, he played in the 2019 quarter-final, so only eligible October 19 2022 and Tonga didn't have any matches afterwards.

 

[Adam84]

I know the expectation is he would put his hand up for Tonga and swap, but perhaps, he might be interested in coming back to Australia and chasing more Wallabies caps and playing in Australia. Im sure the clubs have at least touched base to confirm intentions though.

Good signing.

Much better targets out there for the WF.
Adam Coleman has been struggling to stay on the park since the last RWC.

Love to see the Force go after a guy like Harry Hockings to bring him back to Aus. Just entering his prime as a Tight Forward.
