Answers to the exodus

I rather Holmes than Stannard.

It would be pretty cool to see the Holmes brothers playing on the same team. Would save their parents some troouble in deciding who to support when the Brumbies play the force.

[jono]

i think we should get him (stannard) back.
as far as i am concerned his loyalty and support for the force after the henjak incident wasnt rewarded at the end of last season.

he expressed that he wanted to stay, and he had already put in a year with the squad, learning the plays and etc. why didnt we keep him on? his form was good last year.

More likely to be sharing the same bench.

Id like to see young Josh Holmes come over if Josh V goes,he is an up and coming talent that will improve with each game, rather than Sheehan who is coming to the end of his career.

I'm not sure whether his bro will get another contract and that could sway his decision.

I think the future at the force will look bright with the right mix of youth and experience.

My brother (Luke Holmes) has been pretty good as well even though he plays for the Western Force. If I need any help I always just give him a call.

It’s good having a rugby sibling, but it would be even better if we were in the same team. But in life everything doesn’t always work out the way you want it to, so we just feed off each other,” he says.

Whilst that wish of his hasn’t yet come true, his elevation in Australian rugby has come at a rapid pace.

Nice to know the Holmes brothers often speak and confide in one another... however it hardly surprising… I would think Josh Holmes would have a good understanding about JM issues then…...

Josh Holmes was the star of Australia's under 19 world cup win a few seasons back. He is the real deal. The Tahs let another one get away and the Brumbies aren't bringing him on. Snap him up

The only people that don't like Mitchell are the ones that would rather talk about hair tinting than training

[welshrugbyfan]

Get some quality signings, not re hashed players from the other 3 Aus teams.

Smash the opposition regularly.

MES becomes the most feared ground for opposition teams to come to.

A loyal passionate fan base who pack the stands in blue.

Players will actually WANT to come here then.

What's Henjak's contract situation?I think he would have matured alot in the time he's been away. Isn't he about to become a father? He might be keen to come back now

You missed the preseason voting then...

You missed the preseason voting then...

And you were privy to the voting and the results?
Its likely we will never know exactly what went down with Mitch, the players the voting and the inquest so let it go.
The past is been and gone, we have the future to build a strong team and create history. If players want to come to the Force fantastic, if they want to come for the money so be it. So long as we have a full team of 22 players who put their everything into the game each week, cooperate with each other and eventually win the championship.

Sorry Laura but the past is the road travelled to where you are today... I'm more concerned about the Force signing players than JM's... lets hope end of season the Force pick a up a great & promising new squad...

[laura]

Yes it is the road travelled and you can't go back and change it so there's no point harping on about it, learn from it and prevent mistakes from happening again. Being such a young club we have the chance to make something spectacular so lets get on with it.

Lets hope all the squads pick promising squads and also manage in a compassionate way the players they reject to make way for new players.

Sorry Laura but the past is the road travelled to where you are today...

you answered your own arguement there

yes the past is the road travelled but every organisation moves forward from the past, all the past is good for is leaning lessons.

Have the lessons been learnt?

I don't know and neither do you
