Force not strong
WHEN is someone of authority at rugby headquarters going to bite the bullet and tell the Western Force, "Sorry guys, it's not working. We're pulling the pin."
Last week, coach Michael Foley - signed by the Force after he led the Waratahs to four wins from 18 starts last season - spoke about his three-year plan.
Three years? Mike, mate, the Force has had seven years so far and there's barely a pulse. When the Force kicked off it cannibalised the top franchises in the country and built a strong roster, thanks largely to the promises of a dodgy sponsor.
Now the money's gone, the stars have gone, and in three matches this year the Force is yet to add to its tally of 32 wins from 104 starts.
Pack it in and put the resources into the Melbourne Rebels. They suck too, but at least there's strong corporate support and they play the game in private schools there.

"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
Wow, someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning!
Lucky he's making the comments on the League central page - has anyone told him the Force play Union?
Laugh and the world laughs with you.......
......cry and you'll weaken your beer
I tried to do what the title of this thread suggested couldn't even get to one after reading that dibble the air in my place is a darker blue than that off the EWF home jersey
funny thing is the rumours going around are that the Rebels are the one on the brink of collaps from lack of money with players sponsers and owners wanting out.
what a nob everything that is wrong with Rugby and Sport in Australia rigght there in that artical

It'll only get worse when we play the tahs.
QLD Media will forget to smear the force after today anyway. They'll have a collective hard-on because genia is back and captaining the reds this weekend.

he isnt even a Rugby reported its in a League artical makes no sence.

that article isn't even worth the copy / paste energy it took you X
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
32 wins from 104 starts does kind of suck
Until the Force start turning it around and start winning we will be a sitting duck to this kind of article
Post the article on the dressing room wall and write underneath it: "Don't get mad, get even"
