Dear me. Ok benefit of the doubt for you if you have not been around from the start. He was assittant under Mitchell, coach and player for Nedlands (but don't hold that against him!).

Tommy Fearn was defense coach for the Force at one stage wasn't he? IIRC those were the years when our defense was pretty bloody good.

Maybe that's the product of a failing mind though. He certainly seems to be well respected around the traps though.

The other Arnold brother will be the two row. Richard. Big man but having seen his nrc play for qld not even close to his brother. Seems they like his size and potential. Itm cup to fill the backs spot is my pick.

He has done well for himself there. Seems to have 5 people waiting every time he gets near the ball in nrc and hasn't had a chance to show off

Sorry, a bit slow this morning. Who are we talking about here?

Ah Got it now. They actually call him Ritchie, the other Arnold twin.

If hes the best we can get we are in real trouble.

If the lock is from NRC players, I suspect it will be Adrian Hall rather than Arnold. He has done all that has been asked of him so far.

The only problem we have is that besides Coleman (Mafi being a loose forward in reality), we do not have the playing stock and depth we need. Unless we have someone coming from outside Australia with Super 15 experience to offer us, I am happy to see Hall on board.

Western Force are in talks with towering second-rower Richard Arnold as they get close to finalising their 2016 Super Rugby squad.

News out of NZ that we've signed Turbos fullback Semisi Masirewa.
