Shame he couldn't swap for Fava at the Commonwealth Games then.
Wonder if that is classified as matches in terms of the suspension?
Would even things up for the Force so that Shepherd was our only starting player selected in line with the other Australian S14 teams.

That still rankles doesn't it? I hope it doesn't portend us being continually shafted by the "wise men from the east" like the Weagles and the Dockers. The benign dictator treatment from the AFL recieved by the Lions/Bears and the Sydney Swans would be much more suitable from the ARU towards the "new kid on the WA block".

Hmm, not sure if he'd be allowed to Burgs. Not that this is 100% relevent, but I remember reading that Repene Thouhthoughmkcow was suspended and couldn't play 7's either.

Nice spelling ;) I think that was a Fijian Rugby decision rather than a judiciary one and as Fiji have as many top line Sevens players as New Zealand has handy All Blacks it was probably a pretty easy decision to make to set a standard.
I'm sure it won't happen but jeez, we could really do with one of those two Force boys back this week!!!

You have to pronounce it. Thou-thou-mac-cow. :D

It is certainly odd that they've nicked two Force players, especially considering the injuries you guys have gone through.
