To be fair, the Rebels were wooden spooners. They need to develop their Super Rugby team. The Force narrowly missed out on finals. The depth and experience of our EPS/WTS was a factor in not making it. Our priority is to develop the depth of the WTS and to speed up the development of future Force players (not necessarily for 2015). Harry Scoble, Richard Hardwick, Luke Burton and Brad Lacey are all young fellas who will likely play for the Force in the future. Not to mention a handful of similar players on the bench. Why not speed that up? It is also great to see Justin Turner getting up to speed and stringing games together. He had so much potential before his injury woes.
It's good for Heiberg, Walton and Stander (who are signed for the Force but didn't play a lot in 2014- well maybe not Stander) to get a bit more experience.
Also how dark would we be if one of our Super stars gets a 6-12 month injury in an NRC game?
