CEO mentions Tony Pulu returning.
Force secure Backline Trio
Kuenzel, Fines and Tapine confirmed on two year deals
Welcome back Finn Diesel :yeah:
Average age of our squad has plummeted in the last two days :)
In my book still looking for one Prop, one Lock, and one Outside Back.
And of course re-signing some existing key players.
I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of the Outside Backs already signed for next year are released.
Fines I'm happy to welcome back. Kuenzel, Tapine and Pasitoa are all young and have that on their side, but I'm a little concerned that they may not be the upgrades we need in the backs. Fines, Kuenzel and Tapine were all released by the Brumbies, so we're picking up players another team didn't want.
Not so sure they were released by the Brumbies, especially the first three, I believe they saw more opportunity to start here than there and from reading some other blogs and websites they were the the next generation for the Brumbies and this is a coup for us and the program Hodgo and Tim are building
Sounds like they were released when the Brumbies found out they were not resigning with them.
Could we see DH-P back in blue in 2022?
"Haylett-Petty, who is back into contact training, says he hopes to run out in Perth club rugby next month in what is a very different environment to the Test arena........
.......if plans to Japan do happen to fall over, there might be a spot at his former team the Western Force.
“If his health and wellbeing enables him to play rugby, we’d love to sit down and talk to him at some stage,” Force chief executive Tony Lewis said.

I like DHP. I would love to see him back in the Western Force.
However, if it has taken him 7+ months to recover from a concussion. How long will it take for him to recover from his next concussion?
I am not questioning his heart or his passion. Far from it. But, Concussions are a very serious injury and need to be treated with care and time. Can the Force afford to have our star full back out of action for potentially a whole year?
