Force in dark over signing of Kiwi rake

[Sheikh]

Spoke to Crispian about James Parsons last night - quietly optimistic about an announcement by friday

Optimistic that a decision will be made, or that the decision will go their way?

Interesting though that the concensus seemed to be that Ryan would be the starting hooker with Parsons actually on the bench for some final impact.

All in the hands of the beast that is the ARU.

So if Parsons gets the nod, Whittaker won't even make the 22?

Whittaker and Parsons will fight for the bench I would say. Purely based on pre season training so far.............anything could happen before the Brumbies get here.

That's great news for the whole "get WA players playing" drive anyway.

I had a chat with Matt Tink this morning but he did not want to say
What he did say was that James Parsons won't be joining the Force for their trail games in Africa. Ryan and Ben is going with for the trail games.

ARU just another way of making it hard for the Force....... good to see some media start filtering itsway through now.
