Western Force 2008 - Where will they finish?

[Mtbeaver]

Technically 3.5 place
...but you make a good point!

How do you know the pattern wasn't adding seven on each time?!

[zimeric]

I think the loss of Rudi and Digby will hurt us enough to keep us out of the top four although im hoping im wrong.

Subtracting 7? Coz that would put us in 0th position, and thats where the Spears are....

Digby who?

You raise a good point. Adding seven on would put us back at 14th.

Digby who?

isnt he the one who used to play for a good team but then left for a crap team?

[zimeric]

cmon guys dont bear grudges... he played the game as a force player at 120% and i expect he will do the same for the reds, i am disapointed he chose to move but thats the nature of the proffesional game and ultimately its his decision noone elses.
the way i see it, His loss as the Force will win a flag before the reds do.

[Jess]

Third for me. Perhaps a bit of wishful thinking but anything is possible for our boys. Do us proud.
(I'll be proud no matter where they finish)

No grudge here. I feel that Digby can be replaced without anyone noticing he's gone. He is a good player, not a game winning one off great the likes we shall never see again.

Roll out the next winger please

[GIGS20]

True Flame, but Digby's still family. He was a foundation player don't forget and put some great minutes together, even with the total inability to hold a football that was 2006.

I'll be cheering for Digby to score plenty (until he plays against us)

[Burgs]

Interesting trivia point, seven of the original twenty two are no longer Force Squad Members.

[Happy]

oh seriously who is picking 1st ?????

I'd be happy with anything above 7th

[James]

Lets see season last we had 4 games that we didn't but could have won on any other day (Highlanders, Lions, Brumbies, Waratahs) vs two where we were the fortunate team (Bulls, Hurricanes). Most teams will be having the usual post-world cup reshuffle. My money is on 6th if we keep the old laws and 5th if the ELVs come in.

Starting off in South Africa will probably be good because it will harden us up for the season and in some ways we are fortunate that the Crusaders game is on a Sunday because between Friday vs the Lions and Sunday vs the Crusaders its a nice break (almost like a little bye) to reenergize.

[Sheik Yerbouti]

hi bort!

i pick 14th. if you want, my camel atif make for good fullback. he spit on the opposition!

[bort]
