Western Force 2026

Kurtley has re-signed now too.

With Beale, Burey and Grealy who was awesome last year I really don't understand Harford. I know you need at least two 10s worth a start but I'd rate Burey over him in that spot as well without even thinking about Stewart covering 10 if the Force had adequate Centre depth developing.

Harford is maybe the biggest issue with this Force squad, particularly because Cron seems inclined to use him. Stewart, Kuenzle, Beale and now potentially even Annan offer a degree of 10 cover too so I really don't understand why he's there.

The mungoes have announced Annan has left the Knights for the Force.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Good for all. New coaches in Newcastle wouldn't have helped his cause if he wanted to stay, but having him be at the Force for Day 1 of pre season is a good result.

Not yet official but looks promising for the Force

 

[Major Tom]

This is a solid signing. He's got a big ceiling and the ability to play a few different positions. Great to get him back in rugby as I think he's pretty wasted in league. All the super sides are starting to assemble some really promising young centers. Great to see.

Another new signing announcement at 7pm WST, possibly Argentinian?

 

[Filipo Daugunu]

Rory Arnold. What’s his latest story? Where’s he been and has he been playing?

Seems like an Argie signing from the post. Maybe a halfback? Lock?

 

[Red Runner]

Oops. Meant to post that in the Reds thread sorry.

That would be 8.00am Buenos Aires, sounds about right.

 

[Major Tom]

Signed the Argentine scrum half Agustin Moyano.

 

[Red Runner]

It’s injury cover

Moyano, 22, will join the Force on an injury cover contract for young scrum-half Doug Philipson who’ll be unavailable for an extended period due to an ACL injury.
