2015 Squad Contract Renewals

[chiraag]

Yeah, very surprising it's only for one season. He was dominating towards the end of the season and is a certainty for one of the starting back 3 spots next year I would think.

[Alison]

Maybe it's coz they're leaving the door open for the return of The Badge??

[westies man]

I'd like to see CTM get a new contract. He has improved exponentially over the last year. I can't help but think he will continue this way.

He hasn't let anyone down at any point this year. I expect big things off him in the NRC

Not gonna happen

Context?

Sometimes I get the impression you know.... but, you won't share

If you know somthing westie tell us or are you just rumour mungering... Spill the beans or we can call you the rumour mill

I report the facts, no rumour mongering,

You are Quoted here saying CTM is not returning to the Force next yr

So you are telling us you have spoken to CTM or Rugby WA and they have confirmed this Westie ????????

[wholetruth]

The West today has a good amount of info on player’s contract status after the Spirit squad was announced.

CTM is unlikely to return next year.

Ryan Louwrens and Angus Cottrell are still injured hence not getting selected.
Adam Coleman and Sias Ebersohn have both had surgery again that’s why their not in the team so Sias may still be around next year.

Chris Alcock will play for a Sydney side but is expected to re-sign for 2015 and the most disappointing news for me was that Pad Dellit will play in Sydney but still has a year left on his contract and will return next year.

Here it is
Spirit clue to Force plans

The Perth Spirit squad for the inaugural third-tier National Rugby Championship gives some insight into how Western Force are shaping for next season.

Half of the 40-man extended squad is made up of Force players, with the remainder from the local club competition.

Force centre Chris Tuatara-Morrison is not included and is unlikely to return next year. The inclusion of rising young star back Dillyn Leyds should end speculation in South Africa that the full-back/fly-half is returning to Western Province.

Scrum-half Ryan Louwrens has not recovered from a ruptured left anterior cruciate ligament, opening the door for Justin Turner to reclaim a Force role after four injury-hit seasons.

Flanker Chris Alcock will play for a Sydney side, but is expected to re-sign for 2015, while outside back Patrick Dellit, who will also play in NSW, has another season on his Force contract.

Flanker Gus Cottrell (broken leg) is not included.

Fly-half Sias Ebersohn and second-rower Adam Coleman have both had surgery.

Spirit open their campaign against Canberra Vikings in Canberra on Saturday, August 23.

[WFDom]

So we lose CTM (very promising) and keep Dellit (very ordinary)......... fark sake

[Alison]

Probs would have had to pay Dellit out if he has another year to go on his current contract. Doubt they could afford that AND keep CTM :-/

[WFDom]

Was hoping Dellit was gonna try to to get to France or Japan ahead of the post RWC stampede.... fu@k balls!

[Alison]

Nah, that wouldn't suit Ange's plans!

[SNOB]

Dellit as certainly had a bad year for the Force and I'm sure he knows it!
We've all seen guys have an off season before (last year he had some blinders) and he will be on he bench until he proves him self again. We have certainly had worst back ups!
Foles should make him play with out boots and that will stop him kicking.

WESTERN FORCE MEDIA RELEASE
Monday, 4 August 2014


The Western Force’s retention drive has continued with flanker Chris Alcock the latest to re-sign with the Western Australian club for its 10th season of Asteron Life Super Rugby in 2015.

Alcock, who has re-signed for another two seasons, has played 19 matches for the Western Force – and 44 Asteron Life Super Rugby matches in total – since joining the Western Australian club for the 2013 season.

The 26-year-old was limited to just three matches this season as a result of a shoulder injury, having been one of two players – alongside scrumhalf Alby Mathewson – to have played every match the season prior.

Alcock says he’s looking forward to returning to the field for the Force in 2015.

“You definitely get the hunger to play again when you’re sitting on the sideline watching the guys win nine games, so I definitely want to get back out there and be a part of it,” he said.

“I’m very excited to be back on board with the Force. We have a great group of guys here and I love living in Perth; it’s a great community and I was very excited when I got the opportunity to stay for another two years.

“We’ve got some outstanding competition in the back row at the moment. If you’re feeling comfortable in a position you’re not being pushed and you’re not going to be playing at your best, and I think we’re all pushing each other to be the best players we can be.

“The big thing at the moment is we want to play for each other and by doing that we’ve become close on and off the field.

“When I signed on originally I felt this was a team on the way up. Last year we showed some of that potential and lost several close games, we just needed to learn how to close out games. This year we took that experience and learned from it. We’re showing that we’re a team to be reckoned with and we’re all very driven to take it to the next step next year.”

Head Coach Michael Foley says Alcock will continue to be an important member of the Western Australian forward pack.

“Chris has become a highly-regarded member of our squad over the last 18 months,” he said. “With a back row of Chris, ‘Hodgo’ [Matt Hodgson], Benny [McCalman], Gus [Cottrell] and Brynard [Stander], we have players that carry well in attack as well as force turnovers through excellent pressure in defence.

“Having known Chris over an extended period, I know playing for his mates matters to him and he has a burning desire to continue to improve.

“While injury limited his opportunities in 2014, he will again be challenging the boys for a position in our match 23 next season.”
