Anyone else hear the Hoiles mention the Lachie Swinton rumour?
That's twice I've heard it now!
I was hoping we would remain a grub free team :loser:

It's that time of year.
Very interested to see who stays, who arrives and who goes.
I hope we get to see some more WF players in Club Rugby now.
Priority Release/Retire-
Michael Wells
Ian Prior
Given Circumstances Not Sad If They Pursue Alternatives-
Feleti Kaitu'u (IF Tom Horton signs and a second signing required. Feleti has lost something this year.)
Bryce Hegarty (A good journeyman, but getting old/fragile with cavalry coming. Stewart fills this role)
Priority should be please no more journeyman! It’s killing the chances for the young fellas to get a chance. We’re far better than that.
So what is the general consensus on where we should be finishing next year being Crons second season and all?
Any of the players let any gossip go at the ground last night?
Really hoping Burey gets a contract
Pasitoa, Donaldson & Burey would be a pretty impressive collection of squad 10's.
I think apart from the already known departures, the following will leave or be released
Hegarty
Medrano
Anstee
McCauley
Robertson (Henry)
Kibirige
Prior
Voyasco
Wells has to be relieved of the captaincy at the very least
Still waiting for Poolman to show us why he's had the bench all year
Hope not Anstee
Yeah, I don't get that either. Listed as signed for 2024 and I see him as a priority keeper. Along with Fines his interchange was a big factor in turning the momentum last night. The Chiefs didn't take the foot off the throttle but our boys stretched their defence. Unfortunately our D still had too many turnstiles.
Me too Jules. He came when the chips were down. Rumours of 7's again for him.
But, when you take away his chance of Wallaby selection by sticking him on the pine for the majority of the year behind Wells & I'd be questioning what I've gotta do to get some decent minutes. Especially if Harris is getting signed.
As for Swinton surely the unofficial no dick head rule comes into play?
What’s the general thought on Donaldson coming over? I just don’t get it. He’s pretty much been ordinary in the Tahs and they’re constantly whinging about him!
IFL, White, Burey and Pasitoa behind a strong 6 & 8 will be much more dynamic.
My take is that the Tahs basically have to let him go due to National contract status. Not sure if the Force have to accept him, but perhaps not many other starting options at the other three.
I'd be happier seeing him come over for #15, with Chase as a super sub.
Such a major blow to Pasitoa's pathway being injured this year, rarely gets mentioned in print and never in telecast.
