Queensland APC Squad and experience

Just did a bit of research on the Qld squad for APC

David Amossa
Ole Avei - 110kg hooker - 1 S14
Andrew Brown - 96kg out centre 2 S14
Caleb Brown 98kg winger - 10 S14
David Campbell
Mitchell Chapman 110kg lock 15 S14
David Croft 99kg flanker 69 S14
John Dart
Dominic Fuller
AJ Gilbert
Brett Gillespie
Scott Higginbotham
Herman Hunt
Peter Hynes 90kg winger 31 S14
Lloyd Johansson 106kg centre 14 S14
Kuresa Lee
Peter Loane
Quinton Mateo
Stephen Moore
Ben Mowen
Will Munsie
Ed O'Donoghue
John Roe (captain), 105kg #8 61 S14
Sam Satui,
Ernest Skelton,
Cameron Treloar 111kg lock 9 S14
Ben Tune 96kg center 85 S14
Brando Va'alu and
Henari Veratau. 92kg back 6 S14




Thats 11 players of the 29 with S14 experience. But 5 of those 11 have 10 or less games.

Anyone care to do same for the Force squad?

24 with S14 experience with 1000+ games between them and 40 tests

Drew Mitchell has 10 tests and 35 super 14 games. Does anyone know when Rudi Vedelago comes back from injury? He's had an awful spell of luck this year and it would be good to see him going again.

Still listed as having an ankle injury which I think he got in the Samoa game????

I think he may have to call John Mitchell and the Force organisation "Mother" because they have been carrying him for 9 months now..

Umm wasnt the ankle injury against a kiwi team in the only game he played this year?

Your right AS.....25th min of the Highlanders match on 8th April

I am guessing then that perhaps he has a light training programme and they are giving him time to get right for next season.

I hope so...the little we have seen of him looked very good..

he is very good, shame he spent the season injured.

Yeah, he injured the ankle against the Highlanders after about only 20 minutes and interestingly enough that was about when the Force went from kicking some ass to slipping slowly out of the game. Given the number of options at lock it would definitely be good to see him going for next season.

spanner has heaps of super caps, how could he only have 3 test caps. what a joke. how many blokes have more super caps than him i wonder? coach?

On the Force, Staniforth is the 3rd highest Super 12/14 capped - he is good company with a low number of test caps....

Cannon has 97 (40 test caps)
Sharpe has 83 (49 Test Caps)
Spanner has 73 (3 test caps)
Fava has 62 (5 test Caps)
Welborn has 61 (6 Test Caps)
