Yup, You and Yup
I would really like to see Kieran come back home, and we need a prop to replace Fank
Grant has been good recently, he has certainly proven that he was capable of playing better rugby than I expected, however he is a Marquee and I think we're pretty well covered at 10 now, we just need somebody to replace him. Possibly a development player, continuing with the theme of getting blokes back home, we could do worse than Jooste.
Outside Backs, again we have somebody to replace in Mozza (and I think Semisi) I'm not really aware of any WA lads who are on the SR radar and playing overseas, the clubland boys would have their finger on that pulse better than I, but since We're staying and Sinders reckons Australia needs to go to for Sef Naivalu?
Possibly some others to come as the ARU shit-show starts to take its toll, but those three would be sensible starting places.
Pretty sure some around these parts weren't fans of TPN signing for the Force and he has turned some opinions of him.
I wouldn't have thought we would be chasing Genia given we have some pretty good options at 9 at the moment.
I think Ali's talking about the guys ethics! His signing for then not signing because he would miss singing his Reds song left a bitter taste in all our mouths! Personally if the ARU have the bucks and balls to bail him out ala Copper and they cull the Forc they can stick it where the sun don't shine. I will cancel foxtel instantly and I will follow the Sharks and follow the Boks. I will not ever purchase any ticket in Australia to any rugby game and I will happily burn all my Wallaby shirts etc in front of NIB stadium with all the others who have said the same.
Nothing to do with "like" ex....More to do with a "no dickheads" policy
Teams like Tahrds and reds can afford dickheads, it doesnt effect their culture.
Force is totally dependent on a cohesive, inclusive, brothers in arms culture, so it needs nurturing. As seen with the experience of Chippers, Brand and Misogynist et al the Rebels are also in our camp
Am feeling more and more confident that the Force is staying, and I think we should start posting about reversing the thinking that players will leave, when in fact the coaching by Wessels & Berne & Barakat etc, is getting noticed by other teams and we will soon have players hammering at the door to get a Force contract. A good prospective signing in the next few weeks would be a huge boost. I thought I had heard rumours of Wessels looking at someone lately?
Where has your increased confidence come from Val?
Ok then recruitment targets for:
Props - Toby Smith or Kieran Longbottom
10 - Nick Jooste or Duncan Paia'aua
Wing/FB - Nick Jooste or Jesse Mogg
Thoughts?
Thought Masirewa had gone to Japan?
