Great news
Force sign NRL star Curtis Rona
Nick Taylor - The West Australian on August 11, 2016, 9:59 pm
Western Force have snared Canterbury Bulldogs try-scoring sensation Curtis Rona, bringing the NRL star home to Perth and a return to rugby union for two seasons.
Rona asked for an early release from his Bulldogs contract after talks with Wallabies coach Michael Cheika on Sunday and following weeks of negotiations with the Force and the Australian Rugby Union, as revealed in The West Australian two months ago.
Rona, 24, one of the NRL’s most promising back line stars was on the verge of an international league career with New Zealand and interim Force coach Dave Wessels said the club was “ecstatic” about the signing.

Possibly this alliance thing is starting to bear some fruit.

What a way to kick off the weekend, this is a huge signing.
I know the rumours have been swirling for some time, but confirmation is awesome and brings renewed hope for the Force.
Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
I don't know anything about Rona (or rugby league) but if you guys think he's a great signing, that's good enough for me!
Welcome home Curtis!
Proudly Western Australian; Proudly supporting Western Australian rugby
He had a good game last for the Dirty Doggies, 4th best stats of all players.
Welcome back Curtis![]()
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
his highlight reel is basically him diving over on the left wing after cut out passes?
what else is in his bag?!

That is exactly what we have been missing, someone that can get over the try line and finish off, there are some more clips on you tube of some real good try completions.
Highlight reels tend to concentrate on the tries rather than the tackles.
Over the past few weeks he has played at centre and has had to make many tackles. Bulldogs are through to the finals keep an eye on him during the games. He is impressive.

Gotta get the ball out there first! 😉
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Hope he goes well next year! No doubt Cott, Uni and the other usual suspects are trying to hunt down his mobile number already
wont do them much good if he is in the force game day squad each week
