talk about depth being thin.
This is a very raw team-closer to our Perth Spirit team than Force team

Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
Looks like letting Tess and Grant get fit for the Sunwolves game and give some more of the squad a chance to show their stuff.
Steve Mafi stepped up last week and hence the run-on over Ross HP.
Will miss the impact of Ben Tapuai (injury?).
Masirewa's 2nd YC for the same offence rightly not viewed well.
Stocks very thin at Hooker, 9 & 10.
With this team they might give Kala Bulls a close run.... this is going to be a massacre. Back to tiddlywinks for me... Bulls by 15+
That's a really strange team lineup-have the coaches given up on some guys? Ammon could show some good stuff, just hope they don't get hammered.
1: Van Wyk
2: Scoble
3: Falkner
4: Haylett-Petty
5: Coleman
6: Hardwick
7: Hodgson
8: McCalman
9: Louwrens
10: Prior
11: Lacey
12: Godwin
13: Matuauto
14: Morahan
15: Haylett-Petty
16: Heiberg (anyone else preferred but none available)
17: Rangi
18: Ainsley
19: Mafi
20: Koteka
21: Mathewson
22: Rasolea
23: Apineru
Might as well start looking to the future and start making the core of the team a bit more West Australian. Let this core develop, you never know. Give it some time to gel and we just might come out the other end with a good core to the future team.

Fark Hoff, you have to be kidding me
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
The way the spirit played attacking rugby that may not be such a bad thing.
I was really impressed by Scoble and the way he was running to the line and offloading. He has obviously studied and practiced the plays well and fit in straight away. No doubt part of the reason he is starting.
I'm presuming 16 & 17 are the other way round, although these days with three front-rowers on the bench, having the replacement hooker in the 17 jersey makes more sense
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Hoffman got demoted after such a great performance last week. Hopefully he is better as an AR when judging fwd passes, and can start to understand the idea of the advantage rule.
I'd be interested to see how the new ref goes, I know there'd be more focus on those neck-grabs in the ruck clean-out.
Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
That's great as the scum hasn't been much of a problem for the Force (89%) (Best Reds 95%; Worst Brumbies 82%).
Heath has been one of the more active Hookers in Aust SR teams around the park with good tackles and ruck involvements.
His long throws can be a problem (and I struggle to know why we keep calling them).
But his throwing has been better this year than in the past.
Certainly rated Rangi's efforts in the NRC and Scoble looked very much at home last week.
What has happened to Luke Burton? Still injured?
