David Pocock Hands in his Resignation

[jono]

Devastated. Was genuinely thinking that all the speculation was just speculation.

It is what it is though. Not going to begrudge the bloke for going regardless of his reasons. As much as I want to Ive got nothing. He had every reason to leave.

God I hope we get a decent coach soon or we're fucked

Look on the bright side. Surely things could not get any worse...... could they?

What a fuckin balls up!

You just wait and see.

Sad that Bam has gone, more the reason. Thanks for your service, good luck to you both.

i've heard a rumour also tonight that Scott Johnson has also declined the offer to coach the FORCE...

All members should boycot the club and have a "board room storm" as 1 TWF Family at Rugby WA HQ 1 day soon to give them a peice of our mind !!!

I just heard my first coach from Kent in 1963 has turned the offer down.Should have said he was coaching under 10s

If he's gone, he's gone!.... There's nothing gonna change that, it does concern me the lack of good news from rugbywa media department at The moment!.. Social media is a pretty big deal now adays but twf seems to be the only place to get force news, the powers that be seem to be more interested in using social media for telling us who's birthday it is, whos rooming with who, or which player had a shave today!... Fk it's frustrating!... I did like the costa Concordia reference, it's not often a captain leaves the ship!.... Onwards once again...will we renew our membership?.... Yuuuuuuup!... Hodgo for captain!....

Maybe we knew but if you don't say it maybe it will come true.
We will survive!

No doubt mate!... We seem to have minimum expectations each season, so we've not lost much, as long as the innforcers, continue to follow our team in good spirits (or pints) we'll be alright!....

Will do the same, don't want to see pictures of his vegetables anymore, the memories are too painful!

I've got some really mixed emotions on this. I know he is supposed to be a good bloke and he has to make the best decision for his rugby future. Plus our administration has clearly failed to lay out an exciting future (still no coach etc) - that tends towards wishing him well, as many have done in this, and other threads.

However, we are at our lowest ebb and our captain and best player just dumped us. The Force has done a shitload for David and in our darkest hour to date he could have been a shining light saying we do have a positive future. Instead he bailed, and no matter how you look at it, this just drives the club further down. Regardless of the justifications he has given, it's pretty hard to forgive.

Let's hope there is only one way to go from here.

Ditto! Let's face it, the tweets were pretty dull and boring anyway. And he never replied, unlike every other Force player I follow!

I feel very sorry for all of the other Force players too - it's a bit of a kick in the teeth for them, especially those who have recently re-signed. It's like saying "you're not good enough for me so I'm off to play with teammates who are"

[Macattack]

Good point Alison - further heightens the need for an inspirational coach who can lift players and supporters out of the doldrums we are in.
