1 Tom Robertson
2 Tom Horton (TBC *Brandon Paega-Amosa) I'm not sure where the TBC comes from as any coverage I have seen is definite coming?
3 Santiago Medrano - He is no longer the Argie that came over but I consider home here at the Force Not yet signed, so went with Hoopert who has
4 Izack Rodda (Please let me watch you in Force colours) DITTO!
5 Felix Kalapu (*Sam Carter only signed for this season?) Gut feel Carter will want another year to chase Lions and won't get that in the East
6 Jeremy Williams
7 Carlo Tizzano
8 Will Harris
9 Nick White (Interchangeable depending on opposition, but so far I think Nick does well setting up the game and IFLs injection of speed) Probably coin toss, but White will be 34 and another Test Season of old body bashing by then. I think we need to be entrusting IFL by then or risk his heading to NH
10 Ben Donaldson
11 Chase Tiatia - From his and Reesjan's podcasts I feel is good for morale. Little less on the penalties and more of the breaks Not signed yet. If signed, would be more inclined to pick as a Bench, too erratic to entrust with the early stages of a match
12 Hamish Stewart Not signed yet, otherwise yes, hard choice with Pasitoa needing match time. Personally I would probably go Pasitoa over Donaldson, but know that won't be the reality
13 Bailey Kuenzle If a decent #13 recruited, then would look to make Kuenzle a genuine Wing, was a natural in the last two matches and we have plenty of Inside options
14 Rohan Leahy
15 Harry Potter (*Kurtley Beale only signed for this year and can see chasing bigger money elsewhere) He flat out wants Wallaby Caps, won't get that from overseas and can't see any of the other 4 takin him. He wouldn't have started the Shute-Force journey if it was only about dollars.
16 Feleti Kaitu'u - Return to the Feleti of old
17 Harry Hoopert / Marley Pearce - we need depth and cover
18 Siosifa Amone / Atu Moli
19 Tom Franklin / Sam Carter / Both
20 Tim Anstee Keen to see this signature! To me he is the image of the "Finisher" wank word
21 Isaak Fines-Leleiwasa
22 Reesjan Pasitoa - Utility bench - if Stewart leaves then slots into 12
23 Max Burey
