    UJ Seutini could be worth a look at - part of the Reds EPS but isn't a banana bender, just got poached to go there. Very young, but a good development prospect.

    There are big wraps on him from Adelaide rugby sources.

    With of some of the views here, you would swear Australian rugby was flush with great depth, particularly in the 10 position. With 5 franchises, talent has been significantly diluted.

    I reckon it will take at least 5 years to regain equilibrium. We were on the doorstep of it before the Rebels came in but that is long gone. Even then we will need more room for marquee players. Each squad needs at least two Super Rugby capable hookers and someone in development. We are only just able to cover that at the moment with the Brumbies looking a bit short after Moore. It will be harder to hold on to those players in the future too as only 2 of those 10 are likely to get ARU top ups.

    According to today’s West Australian the ARU (David Nucifora) knocked back a proposal for a 1 year deal and stated that the Force could only sign another international player on a minimum two year contract.

    That must really be in the best interests of Australian Rugby!!???!!

    Is there a premier grade player who could do the job? And do it well.

    The Force A 10 is Wes Roberts from Waneroo.

    Dont know much about him though. He went alright when i watch them play the Aus Babars btu not sure how he would go at Super level.

    I think we should give Wes and Ben Seymore a chance, to be honest our chance is very slim to get anyone in the middle of the season anyway. We will be better off developing our own player and just hope for the best (remember Cooper needed to step up when Barnes went to Tahs)

    As usual Rex - so quick to criticise but never offer a well thought out option as an alternative.

    Rex says - Lets sack the Coach, Dead Set - ok who do you want to replace him with???

    Rex says - Back a local, Dead Set - ok name one - give us someone to look at

    Here is a thought Rex - next time you feel the need to give us your thoughts - Breathe and then exhale and then follow the thought through to its conclusion and provide an answer to your question.

    I would love to hear your opinion.

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.
