I like that he made the trip to WA to spend a week with the squad, I don't recall Cheik, Dave or Eddie (had no opportunity) doing that (guess they did though).

I like the way Cron has been using the Nic / IFL combo, Lonergan has gone off the boil and even Tate has had his moments. It'll be interesting to see who's in that first squad

I think he is having a much better season this year than last; perhaps it's shedding the skipper role and assuming the VC; he clearly holds a very high personal standard and struggled to hide his...

I rather thought that Alex went to Montpellier on a 3 year deal as part of the alliance they were investigating a couple of seasons ago. He was in their academy and looks to have been loaned (or...

Blue tinted glasses but for my money Horto, Izack, Jeremy, Carlo, Nic, Issac, Donno, Hamish, Bailey, Kurtley should all be on the radar.

Agree with Leahy, had some great spells against the Cheetahs - future is bright for him and some of the other Academy lads. Didn't Robbie Deans do something similar, insisting that the likes of...

I do wonder how the Rebels landed such a healthy number of forwards, Elof hasn’t had a game this season and he was huge for them in the last two.

100%, he's a big unit at 135kg and with the front row stock injury record he may very well pick up another few caps this season.

I suspect you are right. Imagine if Dr. Forrest bought the Rebels out - the Force could do the same.

I have to admit I was really surprised to see Poolman get a start, he's not had much time on the bench let alone a start this season. I'm really pleased the likes of Leahy have got to go to the U20s...

Interesting putting Sam on the pine, strategic, I assume, with the powerful runners the Dura have. I'm excited to see Hoopert ready to rumble, the Fijians gave the Brumbies pack a really hard time...

I would imagine this is easier for the Tahs and Rebles because RA is "running/ funding" both clubs.

Same, played because we had to and loved it. Failed miserably with my young bloke, he managed two seasons before getting lured away by mountain bikes 😩

This approach makes a lot of sense, and it involves three awesome coaches: JT, Greg, and Jonno. This is the mature approach to building strong local pathways into the Force. I'd be interested to hear...

That was Swain, Johnny Hill - England match in '22 I think. Hill was being a grub, pulling Swain's hair, and eventually, Swain reacted. Hill got a yellow for his troubles and Swain the Red. As best I...

Agree 100% - S&C team need to put him on a high Harvey Beef diet 🤣

Yeah Kalapu too, a FLW type character

I’m going of what Burgs and the WF site note his height at, figured if anyone should know it’d be the team 🤣

Taken from Burgs Post on 2024 Locks:

Izack Rodda
Age 27
Height 202cm
Weight 123kg

Sam Carter
Age 33
Height 201cm

I think Simon Cron's comments after the Chief's game were insightful for where they need to go moving forward.

"Physically, we were dominated in the contact zone. So, the games where we leak that...

Rodda is a key signature in my book. The guy is immense, and his presence certainly looked to be felt when he rumbled on in the Saders game, there were times when he was telling the forwards to...

Think he has been squeaky clean of late

Does anyone know where WA sits on bidding for the RWC Final? I am sure I read somewhere that WA had already bowed out of that race.

Yeah, he sure has, when he’s got his eye in his kicking game is strong.

man, I hope Sam Spink hasn't jumped back into a fire.
