...plus only 2 home games left. Something to celebrate would be nice. All home wins gratefully accepted. Is NIB stadium built over an old cemetery or perhaps a mirror factory which was demolished with all it's stock still inside......it's gotta be cursed. Anyone have a Ouija board and can make contact to find out?
which brings me to a point I made a while ago, the first thing the new coach has to do is turn nib into a force field. We HAVE to get the mindset of home town fortress. All winning teams in all codes are almost impossible to beat at home - ManU, Eagles etc They have off seasons when they lose a COUPLE of home games, not all of them. Force Field will also help attract more patrons, the public wants to see wins for their hard earned.
Everything else flows on from a Force Field.

Turning NIB into an intimidating ground requires a sell out and we aren't getting those while the team isn't winning. Crowd participation in chants etc can't be manufactured, it has to be something that grows from within the fan base and becomes ingrained over a number of years. The ground announcer (from a radio station?) at the game trying to gee up the crowd is lame (in my opinion). That said when the try is on for the Force or there is a great run busted by a Force player the crowd gets loud. we just need more of that.
It's a decent side
There was a spark of belief last week
They must be thinking "win"
Force with a BP
Go you good things
Controversy corner
Can we please:
Put Sam Wara to the wing
Push Cummins into the Centres
Throw Stanley on the bench (remember he was on there last week, didn't get a run, give him a chance, he's got more to offer that Sidey)
Sidey & Harvey to cut the oranges at half time.
BD - I HAVE to pick you up on this !!!!! How can you compare Harvey to Sheps ? To me, Sheps has been one of the best finishers the Force have ever had !!!! When we had Drew Mitchell and Sheps in the same team, there was ALWAYS the chance of tries. I DO think Harvey is a good kicker, but he is no where near the finisher that shep is/wasOriginally Posted by BDAVEY
Sheps slow and predictable, I think not
Bring Darryl Halligan back as kicking coach and he'll manage to get Sali Maafu to kick for us..
If we have Harvey into the team for his kicking only,WE / EWF are dreaming !!
We aren't playing gridion where we can have harvey on for 1 minute, kick and then sit down.... so Sit down and be a 2nd string full back for the EWF in 2013.
Why not give Tyrone Lefau a crack for the last couple of games and see what he can do. Can play on the wing or in the centres. He could switch either position with Cummins.
I hope you are being a troll with this remark. Sheps was/is the greatest finisher the force have had to date.
Clown.
coz Stone Cold says so
It's ok SC, BD is not bagging Shep, it was just a typo. Delete 'Shep', insert Schlep and it makes sense.
Just a thought and was looking for someone to maybe confirm. Are we not seeing someone like Kyle Godwin get a game ATM because he is with the Aus under 20's and if so it makes me a little happier but if not he should be named in all games for the rest of the year.

hmmmm...not in teams over in SA, not last week or this week, nor against Stormers. So he has not been in a team since RGGate

Did a bit of digging around.

Looks like my thoughts were correct.
