Curtis Rona (Force): Scored 41 tries in a total of 57 matches for the North Queensland Cowboys and Canterbury Bulldogs in the NRL, which shows he has a decent pedigree to make an impact in Super Rugby.
The Force desperately need game changers and if he can feed off Dane Haylett-Petty in the back-three then expect the team from Perth to vastly improve on their competition low 25 tries from last season.
Planet Rugby:)
Bloody Mungo!
Doggiez bro...
Hectic.

Cross never really looked like a rugby player. He got close and was recruited based on potential but never made the switch from mungo ball to rugby.
Rona I think has more potential than Cross. Lets keep everything "crossed" that he slices up for the Force.
Ah yeah nah. Cross was not a WA boy. He was also an Aus Schools Rugby rep before going to the Chooks. The Mayor was the first Wallaby. But made it via the Tahs. DHP is our first home grown and developed Wallaby.Quote:

OK I'll be more specific next time. Quite clearly, I knew what I meant so I spelled it out for you above. Now; quit while you're behind. :DQuote:

Looks like we'll find out on saturday!
