let me know the mistakes, this list is a few weeks old now, and im in the middle east at the moment so its hard to make it accurate.

I think there are a couple of mistakes in the Reds list, im sure Chris Siale, Dayna Edwards signed for 2 years(in late 2007), and i think Bredan Vaalu might have re-signed with the Reds as well.

[travelling_gerry]

AJ signed..Hilgy released..Clark long term injury...

[Swee_82]

Fardy released, Hardy unsigned

[shasta]

Clark long term injury...

He was only on a 1 year deal, right? Have to watch him in the NPC if he's ok to play.

[Burgs]

Bugger about Jimmy, hope we haven't released him and kept MBF MacKay?

Yeah, McKay must gave walked under lots of ladders as a kid. But I'm pretty disappointed about Jimmy. He's had some bastard luck too. I really rate him and am pissed off we didn't get to see more of him.

[The InnFORCEr]

Today's West has a story about Hilgy headed to Japan as he may be able to play for them in RWC 2011 if he does three seasons there prior....no wonder he wanted a release. Good Luck Jimmy

Also says Bam Bam will commit to "someone" before the semis start.

Also says Bam Bam will commit to "someone" before the semis start.

Doesn't sound promising.

[The InnFORCEr]

Doesn't sound promising.

It actually said at The Captains Run yesterday he indicated becoming a Wallaby was priority and he was deciding between life in Perth or Brisbane.

That sound better??

[benny]

Hockings resigned didn't he ? (could be wrong)

also

Didn't Jone Tawake play for the Perth Gold / Perth spirit ?

and

Will Genia and Rob Horne would be good pickups if we can get them... but our focus has to be resigning the likes of Bam Bam / Wykes / JOC

and is clarkey playing in the NPC this year, thought he was still in rehab ?

[BaldCunus]

Good Luck to Hilgy lets hope he is starting flyhalf for the Cherry Blossoms in 2011....

And fingers crossed Bam Bam will announce he has signed with the force for 5 years as we are heading into a Semi Final showdown with the Tahs....

[BLR]

Hockings resigned didn't he ? (could be wrong)

also

Didn't Jone Tawake play for the Perth Gold / Perth spirit ?

No to both.

[KenyaQuin]

Thanks but as you would know, it doesn't , infact it sounds like he's off and doesn't want to "disrespect" the Force by making the announcement before their final game. So, I'm resigned to accepting his departure and looking to the future (if I'm wrong, I'll drink a 1/2 dozen beers )

a dozen beers Kenya and full strength elephant beer (8%)

Yeah, according to the guys at Fox Sports he is gods gift to Rugby. They wouldn't shut up about him during the Force v Cheifs game. Every time O'Connor touched the ball they just had to throw in a mention of Horne to please the fans in NSW.
