And don’t have the money to build and maintain the pipeline. 500k delivers many teenagers some of whom will be SR class and some test class and some good first graders colts etc to all contribute to depth and interest in the game

Wallabies in danger of losing Hanigan to ambitious French club just as forward enters his prime

Ned is a test standard player but as that bench lock 6. Need his quality in SR for strength of competition but we can’t afford to keep him. FLW Sinclair seru Swinton Holloway all strong competition for that spot.

Holloway has good weight can call lineouts and win ball. Sure you’d want to pair him with a tall guy somewhere but Jed as a lock with a hanigan eru swinton at six may be enough

If Australia is looking for big men, let's not neglect the old and the fat

Hocking is much better off staying in Japan. Not guaranteed a wallaby career but with his height and lineout the japanese will reward him by setting him up for life. There’s a lot of good Japanese women looking for husbands too.

Matt Philip is out there somewhere too and Ryan smith and canham

Sam cane going in upright was always a risk. He’ll be kicking himself forever. The Boks spare hooker was a great story too.
Before that was Kolbes charge down. Some wonderful moments in the comp.
Best rwc ever. 4 teams good enough to be worthy winners and England nearly knocked one of them out.

We need a lineout coach and parling maybe the best available. He has migrated with his family. He may do stints back in Europe but long term I reckon he’ll come back.

CONFIRMED: Wallabies land final piece of coaching puzzle as ex-Lion signs on ahead of showpiece event

Wallabies coulda done with ainsley last year but he does have extremely solid connections to NZ

Aussie-born England capped rake Nic Dolly signs with Force ... and he'll soon be eligible for the Wallabies

Just credit to Matt to reinvent himself and get back to the top.

Have some pity on Piru a genuine western force fan who’s had his roots in Canterbury territory to sustain him during the dark times

Zac Lucas is a super fit hot Aussie guy. If he doesn’t have a Japanese missus how far away do you think that is? The more sex you have the more likely you are to have kids

Piru I think it’s gone now. We can’t keep the guys who want to go. Let em go let em grow make them want to comeback. Kellaway took a huge pay cut to comeback publicly stated he’d improved his game in the north and of course subsequently fdd over by Eddie whilst being in form!
Matt p was smart enough to do a stint in mitre10 then later france to grow his game then effd over by Eddie when in good form

You misunderstand kingp. Kid dynamite lost his explosive pace. He took a few seasons to evolve into the new Matt giteau. To adjust without that pace. Rwc 2015 was all about his intelligence and D. He was critical to our success. Go back and look at his defensive efforts.

Marty tapau as a crash 12 woulda caused trouble in rugby. Forget his name but there was a 110kg plus English league prop who could run down a winger. James Graham? Not Sam b. Jason Taumololo (sorry for the spelling) woulda been an sbw type. RTS was rugby back 3 or nothing. But good enough to maybe be a Milner skudder. But don’t need RTS if you already have telea Stevenson Reece Marko etc. I still think nz should find a real 10 and play Dmac on a wing. He’d be frighteningly dangerous and whilst a little tacker was still the best 15 in Super rugby a few years ago. Yes too small for a test 15.

Find a way to win. Devastated for the ABs and still don’t understand why the Ardie penalty couldn’t be cancelled since the ref admitted he was wrong and the kick hadn’t been taken. But in hindsight the saffers won. It only takes a point. Good on em. We move on.

Too much poor play by too many players. I reckon you throw a Jeremy thrush in with a bunch of strangers and he knows what he’s doing but yeah that won’t help where some guys eg take those few extra steps and always seem to get isolated

WA has always been effed over by the Eastern States by virtue of population numbers. Value added tax WA got bugger all for the dollars it produced for the nation’s budget. We didn’t have cash for critical infrastructure. Now we do and we’re building it but it’s expensive. Victoria got a hand out and built a rectangular sports stadium they didn’t really need.
Further mining boom wages and costs do make it hard in WA but now’s the time to build freight and transit infrastructure.

25 26 ? Years ago I watched tolouse v Cardiff at the arms park for the club championship. Sr can’t top that.
Full stadium. Lots of loud chants of toolooseh toolooseh and you couldn’t hear cwm Rhonda it was just absorbed straight into your bones.

At my z grade level at loose head prop I’d run wide or close depending on opposition and team mates. I knew the lines for both. Sometimes we even adjusted mid game. I refuse to believe that players should not be able to think on their feet. Didn’t take kiss long to teach the reds running cleaning lines.

Matt Philip was in form had good lineout could call had good size good second efforts very good toughness but. Eddie ditched him. Bulldust. Tom hooper a talented good kid but no way he’s a test 7 and showed when selected he wasn’t ready for 6. Bulldust selections

Come on dusty that was the job for Quade. Keep it simple don’t screw up make some nice passes and kicks.

I saw an old Peter Grant play first grade WA. He tackled and competed well kicked beautifully passed ok as needed but didn’t look a test player but in super he did exactly the same for the force. The quality of the opposition didn’t affect his game at all. Foley would have carved up at club but been smashed at elite level. Peter Grant just chugged along doing his facilitator thing

Giteaus D was a big part of 2015 success. That was not even about cohesion he was smart and was the last line too often.
When I played low grade rep rugby coz we all knew how to play there was cohesion. For a simple game plan. But surely a player knows their lines. Coach A want lines x. Coach B wants line Y. As an elite player it should not be hard to adapt because you should immediately understand the issues

Simply gotta find an organised way to get more foreigners down here. Oz don’t have enough Oz qualified players at the level but how bout getting a Richard kahui Sam spink parling shots hori hemeno j Montoya etc. farrrk force had Montoya signed and the Oz immigration department decided his wife couldn’t stay!!!!!! So one of the best 3 hookers in the world went to Europe.

Dunno but when Steve came out to bat against the saffers I just said in my head the iceman cometh and did win us that game.

'Last few years have been hell': Iceman 2.0 Harrison gets 'dream come true' in Tahs' stunning golden point win

as a force and rugby fan i want beale to aspire to be best he can be. does anyone want him to say “ive played 95 tests against some of the best, i know how to go to the force and coast”
