Nice to see. Competition for the lock spots.
Today's West reports that Pat O'Conor has been signed on again for season 2009. He is rapt according to the article. He reckons that 2009 will be payback time to say thank you to John Mitchell and everyone for sticking with him. He has missed season 2008 and 2007 as a result of 2 knee reconstructions - he's only 24.
In particular he is looking forward to the forthcoming English Tour -
May his Lock change :P
...terrible, just terrible. :DQuote:

well done pat!! :D
his last competitive match was November 2006. Poor bloke hope he has more luck this upcoming season!
I feel really sorry for those guys who've come over to the Force and missed a lot of games through injury. Players like Pat or Lachie Mackay both said that they feel really bad/guilty about such a lengthy injury problem and like they've let down the team down. Watching the Force Feed Pat seems like a great guy and I hope he comes through it and really pushes the other guys for field time in 2009 and stays on with the Force for at least a few more years.Quote:

How come Pat isn't in the updated player profiles on the Force website?
There are a number of locks in the team now, Sharpe, Hockings, Pusey, Stanford, Wykes, O'Conner.
I am guessing the Horua is the back-up number 8 to Browny.
At a guess - they are waiting for the 2 week trials to finish before they know their final list for 2009.
As Pat signed a while ago along with some others you would think that they would update it as they go:(
Pretty sure I saw Pat O'Connor at the local IGA the other day....Quote:

Great stuff Pat. You know you are always welcome at Rocky anytime.
Any word here re the profiles.
I was just checking before putting up the same.
The profiles have come up with a 33 man squad (including 3 Senior Academy) but no Pat?
