Gossip and rumours

I'm not normally one to post unsubstantiated rumors (not the award winning album by Fleetwood Mac) and gossip however if true then this is a big one
An ex all black star currently playing for a team in Japan may be heading to the Force next year
he's only a step down from Sir Richie as an asset and if he appears my wife will be pushing me to get a membership next year so that she can come along to the home games. I may need to CARTER home!

That would be amazing!

If true, then I would hope there would be at least three times as many players at the same level or above going to the other WSR teams, along with a significant number of mere mortals.

The absolutely last thing WSR can afford is it to be an uncompetitive procession...

Actually, in that vein, I would think he'd make a fantastic ambassador for Singapore Rugby or something like that. Why would we, essentially, show Deegan the door now that he's right on the doorstep of Wallaby selection (If Fox Sports commentators are saying it, you know Cheika's listening)

If correct Carter will probably play 12. He played there a lot for Racing.

Yeah I reckon for his age he will be suited at 12. He started there along side Merhtens. He would be an amazing drawcard, with the kiwi team off the table it may just be what we need to get these "kiwi" fans to the Force games supporting the WA side which would only be a good thing.

I still would like to see our young guys not being turned away/off missing opportunities & development at the Force - we've got some great talent coming through even now!

Why not both?
Who better to learn some of the dark arts from than someone who once worked them for the darkness?

I can see Deegan learning a lot from having Carter beside him at 12.

Bit rich coming from someone who up until 3 weeks ago didn't even know where MacGilvray Oval was. Don't know where you were sitting or if you were even really there but from where I was sitting there seemed to be a bloody good portion of these ''kiwi'' fans supporting the WA side just as there was Force supporters from all over the world doing the same thing, you really do seem to be in a world of your own.

Never said there weren't kiwis supporting the Force and I was also for a kiwi side joining World Series Rugby, what was meant by that is it is a win win for those that were against a New Zealand side based on the fact it would split the fan base.

Why the temper?

I think the Kiwis are why we we have packed stadiums every time we play. Pretty much any rugby loving Kiwi in Perth supports the Force, when they aren't playing "their team". I've not met one Kiwi who isn't a fan of the Force - and they have nothing but good things to say :) Not sure about the Saffers, but I think the same would apply. A quality rugby team in the city that they now call home - how could you not support them?

I'd say that for Saffers, it's even more true. Kiwi's support support the Force when they're not playing 'their team' (or sometimes, just any NZ team), but for most Saffers I've met they support the Force, and then their old team. I suspect that many Saffers come here with the mindset that they've emigrated, so they want to immerse themselves in Australian culture, whilst Kiwis may only come to Australia for work, so they keep their own culture.
