Stoked!

Been waiting all year to see the minions.

[FingerTips]

Yay!!!!!!

BTW. I'm in the lower rows of block E227.
Who are those wonderfully vocal Force supporters in the blocks below us?

[valzc]

That would be our little group in 127 and some guys behind us! Snob is leading on vocals!

Keep up the good work.
It sounds great from E227.

[valzc]

By the way - what happened to DHP?

[SNOB]

Yay!!!!!!

I'd be one of them. GO THE FORCE!

Judging by many comments on various media - general opinion is the Hoff was doing his best to lose the game for the Force. Highly questiionable card on Hodgo - makes you wonder how these refs hold their jobs. Explains why no Aussie refs made it to World Cup.

We can call the penalty that lead to the card questionable, but that was about the 4th time Hodgo had been warned about breakdown infringements and he'd already been told that the next one was probably putting someone in the bin.

Except at least two of the prior penalties against Hodgo's at the breakdown were incorrect.

Hoff also let the Tahs enter the side of the maul 3 times and still kept it to a warning.

Anyway, great win by the Force. Really got stuck and guts it out.

Foley's game plan is terrible though, kick and wait for a mistake.

[SNOB]

If Bishoff (excuse spelling) from the Lions doesn't get a Bokkie call up he would be a perfect 10 and kicker that we so badly need.

[The InnFORCEr]

DHP did groin injury prior to match and was a late change.

Great result, well done boys

[chibi]

Loved Louwrens' try, to back yourself out of nowhere and have it come off like that, is a joy to behold.

Hodgo made Hooper his bitch tonight

Yes indeed. Was funny watching Cummins on the side of the scrum late in the game, with his hair and headband, it almost looked like the Force were mocking Hooper.

Can we play you every week

I was singing that on the way out!


HODGO FOR WALLABY CAPTAIN

As I said to the people next to me, he pulled that card out really quickly.

[NTT]

We got absolutely bitched in contact against the Blues and same thing will happen this week against the Waratahs. We have no dynamism at the tackle line, either running the ball or getting offloads away. We have no backline plays except here ya go, try and beat them with shovel passing. Our kicking is shit, both Goal and Field kicking. We are too scared to try anything with selections. We can't tackle to save ourselves. We have a terrible game plan. We are losing supporters.

I will always support the Force. The Force is my team. But in allreality...This week will be much of the same. Waratahs will look to bitch us again physically and will win comfortably. Tahs by 25. Crowd less than 8000. Beers consumed to numb the pain 15+.

Wow! What a douchebag of a post!

Happy to be wrong. Suck it Waratahds!!

Louwrens continues to impress with his speed of delivery and is developing a good sniping game. Alby take note. Excellent rolling maul try in the second half right down in front of where i sit. Was baffling to see Kyle put badger in to contact then on the next phase put in a grubber for his front rowers to chase. Surely giving the ball to Cheese and Tets to tuck and ruck would have been a smarter option than giving up cheap possession.

#sacksias

Way too much playing force backs. Force backs is a training game not a gameplan. One such kick led to a Waratahs 3 points. Sias looking for a corner from 60 out, hooked it terribly with the ball going dead in goal. From the ensuing scrum the Waratahs earnt a soft scrum penalty and banged over the 3 points. Dumb play. Sadly our trademark this year.

#dontputmorahanatfullback

3rd time this year he has been bunted by a winger in a one on one tackle leading to a try. One on one tackling is a prerequisite for a fullback.

#hodgsonscardwasbullshit

Hodgsons card was bullshit. Hoffman was out of position to see that Hodgson had a legitimate steal and should have been rewarded not penalised.

Did i say sack Sias yet? Give Burton the 10 jersey. Let him develop at 10. Crash ball running at 12 is not his go.

The best thing about this season so far is that it has exposed which of our players arent up to super rugby standard. Wykes is not a super rugby lock. Needs to reinvent himself as a 6. Sias has zero attacking nous. Too afraid to have a run, kick first, yawn. Steenkamp and Heiberg are plodders at best. Junior needs to develop a sidestep to go along with his goose step. Kyle needs to be shifted back to 12. Morahan needs to learn how to tackle. Alby needs to speed up the game not slow it down. We miss k-bombs scrummaging.

Keep faith with the local talent, is looking the goods.
