Yes, if the RA does not get something going, the the Force should apply to NZ to play a team in their NPC. which is already funnily sponsored by a WA company with its head office in Perth (Bunnings/Wesfarmers). Perhaps Twiggy or FMG can add to the WA connection to oil the wheels for our entry. The NPC has 7 teams in its first division which runs from August to October. Eight teams would cut out the bye.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Nope. Not at the cost of Pugh or Callan. No doubt injuries will happen and guys like Stander and McCauley would come in.
I feel like Anstee and FLW offer more than an aging Stander.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
But why do we need him for that ? surely that role needs to go to an ex Force player who has respect in the community. Yes I understand he has Indigenous heritage but there must be someone out there that has respect in the Force and Rugby world who could do the job! It seems to be a thing the new CEO is pushing for.
Good to see that Manasa Maetele is going to play for Canterbury in the NPC. That will ensure he keeps getting some game time before he joins our squad next year. with Fiji having a limited season

Great to see Harry coming back, says so much for an organisation when players return.
He seemed to be a decent bloke both on and off the field.
Interesting that we seem to be the only franchise really attracting players from other franchises, while most of the other Australian franchises appear to be re-signing mainly existing and returning from overseas players that used play for them.
PS: Looks like we have almost cleared the Brumbies reserve bench!

I wonder if this means Robertson is moving on? Wagner has been developing well at LHP and Lloyd has starting experience at the Brumbies, so having all three seems a waste of resources. EDIT: unless one of the 3 is also good at THP?

I wonder if they might try to convert Wagner to a THP?
I think I read somewhere that we were about to announce the signing of a flanker as well. Tizzano would have to be favourite? Wouldn't complain though if it was Gill or McMahon.
