If the rumours are true and it does come from a trusted source, CTM although signed for 2014, may not make it, seems an attitude adjustment is desperately needed, he's talking about wanting out, and it seems after this week, and rightly so, Force Management will not be bothered pandering to individuals who can't or don't want to follow the rules, written and unwritten.
Keep in mind too, it is a big step up from club rugby to Super 15, if he hasn't been called in to the playing squad, maybe they don't consider he's good enough. All that aside, I do also wonder why Ben Jacobs has been called in, plenty players who can could slot in, after last week's game, I saw nothing he did any better than any number of the boys who play there and cover injuries, wouldn't think it gives the backs-in-waiting any confidence going forward, these players are expected to show max. loyality to the Force, but doesn't seem to work both ways. Seriously, do they think at 31 he's going to be an ongoing long term prospect.
They should start looking at moving Tupou back to 13. He definitely isn't a 15.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
I vaguely remember the prognosis for the Madness was six weeks. he was injured in the debacle against the rabble I think. he must have about 2 weeks to go?
Foley has a good eye for talent. If CTM isn't starting, there is a pretty good reason.
I think he toured though? Perhaps he will get an opportunity off the bench soon if he trains hard?
I'm glad Sam 2-dads got benched. he was absolute toilet last week
I would also like to see Tupou given a crack at 13. I think it's his spot
I wouldn't mind seeing haircut dodger at 13 and Junior given a go on the wing
Now in my moleskin trousers and my Williams boots
Aboard an outlaw as he leaves the chutes
In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hide
And the girls all shouting around the ringside
Oh he's the Fulla from Cunnamulla
Yeah he's the Cunnamulla Fulla
Does anybody why Pat Dellit has been wing this season, instead of centre?

Probably cos we're overloaded with centres
godwin, stanley, tupou, hayward, roselea, ctm,and now jacobs.
I would guess that he was brought in primarily for his defense - I think he lead the team in tackles (if not the team, definitely the backs). No idea what he can do when he has the ball, but if they're focusing on defense lately as a strength, then that's probably the answer.
In fact, it would seem that they are planning much of the same game plan for the Chiefs as they used for the Reds. Two open-sides again, Sias again. Might not be pretty, but I'll take an ugly win! They're certainly not going to out-run the Chiefs, that's for sure. Just going to try and starve their weapons of the ball, I would guess. And, the Chiefs missed a massive amount of tackles last week, so there's hope.
Yeah, but then based on last year, wouldn't he have gotten a go in the centres before those guys?

Most of the bench must be on by the 50 min mark, esp Faulkner, Mathewson, Brownie and Norton-Knight.
No Stubbs either this week, injury?

Sorry not really related to this thread but wasn't sure how to start a new one. Just found this on Perth NOW Rugby Gold.. WTF??
THESE are troubled times in Perth. One Western Force player was recently found lying drunk and shirtless holding an empty bottle of whiskey in a public street. Meanwhile, another player is battling a substance abuse problem.
In an entirely unrelated matter, international winger Nick Cummins is seeking a new home after rejecting the Force's contract extension offer. The club can’t afford to lose another Wallaby. They’ll be sweating like a gyspy with a mortgage.
Hey Jules can you give us a link to your story as I have scanned Perth Now Rugby gold and not found any stories
Thanks
Sure - keep reading after the first article
