Talking about the Lions win & Drew's try - good start was important and knew they had to go the 80 minutes to finish them off.

Upcoming tour - team has confidence, enjoys going to SA, most blokes didnt realise how far they had actually gone up the ladder but happy with results & know the need to step up each week.
Hurricanes game - admits he missed the tackles and feels a bit crap that if they'd won that game they would be equal 2nd on the ladder.

Move to Tahs - Committed to the end of the season & will play accordingly. Largely a rugby decision, RWC prospects important in decision. Feels he can develop at the Tahs as they've been in the finals contention a few times. Firepower made the move to WA a financial decision because the deal was too good to give up and now realises "money isn't the be all and end all" hence the move to the Tahs being a rugby decision. Family & support network played an important role too, closer to them and can see them more often in NSW. Excited to be part of a young developing team with the likes of Rob Horne and Burgess developing at the Tahs.

Fullback/wing - Prefers fullback but just enjoys being on the field so any position is a good position and its good to be challenged for the starting spot as it means no complacency.
RWC 2007 - devastating loss, boys were very quiet in the changerooms but looking forward to RWC 2011 and aiming to make a mends for 2007.

Force being top Aussie side - milestone for the club with winning the grand slam, very exciting times for the Force.

um just like hes leaving to stay closer to most of his friends and fam
about the forces trip to sa
and how some of the boys didnt realise how far they had jumped up the table only until today
and how someone said if they didnt loose the hurricanes game they would of been equal 2nd on the table and drew felt really bad coz he was the one who missed the tackle to save the try from being scored

Old cynic!! Can't you see the good in the pretty boy??

Close to family be buggered. He is from Qld - if he wanted to be close to family he would chance his arm at the Reds (even though I wouldn't want him there).

He wouldn't go to the Reds because he doesn't see instant glory there (might have to do some hard yards while the team matures - heaven forbid). He doesn't want to stay at the Force as Giteau is going and he sees problems ahead.

Truth is, he thinks the Tahs will buy a Super 14 championship and he wants to jump on for a cheap ride,

Glory seeker syndrome. Pity the Tahs have no balls despite their "talent" and he will soon discover what a bunch of pathological under-achievers they are.

Wasn't Drew quoted as saying that he would base his decision on money a few weeks back?

[Garfiep]

he's gone, who cares why! - do we need to keep giving him more column inches than he has given us good performances?

[pruc]

moves for family yet they live in qld, moves because of gits departure yet he is going back to the brumbies.

maybe he should just man up and say he wants cash and train a bit harder so he doesnt miss tackles seeing as thats what a fullback is meant to do.....

[Sheikh]

he's gone, who cares why!

Knowing why someone's gone can help in retaining the ones we want to keep, eg, JOC, Pocock, Brown, Valo, etc.
