Where do you NOW think the Force will finish?

[Darren]

Been a few injuries, and we're one game down. How do you now think the Force will do....

[shasta]

Same as I said a couple of weeks back, mid table again. Lot of supporters think we should be contenders after 4 seasons. That would be nice but being more realistic we will probably continue to struggle to attract and keep top line players and need to strive to develop WA kids.. The team has done enough to keep me interested and I always compare our experiences with what Qld, Otago and Free State, Jo'burg supporters hav endured. Just happy to have S14 here and a team that has had a good crack most weeks and rarely been towelled up.

3rd is looking good to me.

Hmmmm - I am also hopeful of getting back into that suit that looked so good on me 10 years ago...............

Ahh bugger it - I like thinking positive!!

Yep 3rd!

Get a book going and I will put 100,000 on it

I reckon with our current injuries, we'll drop much of the first couple of weeks. Assuming we can get players back on the track we'll finish strongly and just miss out.

[PerthGirl]

Have to agree with you GIGS, unfortunately injury has crueled our season almost before it's begun

[Burgs]

It was always a possability to drop 2 or 3 before the Bye, it is more how they were won or lost. I still believe we are aiming for a rebuilding year for 2011 and will be mid table.
There may be a couple of bad losses ahead but there are also some gutsy underdog wins coming too.

i cant see them better than 8th

Shasta, my sentiments exactly, I wish there more people in Perth like you you that realise having "LIVE and REAL" rugby in Perth is what it is all about. Thats why we went to the Super 14 rally, and showed our support in having rugby here, that day we all knew what is was like to have nothing and we should be greatful that we have a team, and while not world beaters tries their hearts out and often punches above their weight.

[tragic]

I agree with what you're saying, Tazz, but I also believe that the team aren't playing to their own expectations (and that would be difficult to do without the team they expected to have).
It was great to finally see the Force at MES, but it was certainly not the game I was expecting to see, and I guess therein lies the disappointment.

Anyway, bring on Round 2!

Actually Tragic, after looking at the injury list it WAS the game I was expecting to see.

My comments may have been taken as bagging the team, but that's not really what I'm on about. When I say Harry can't play 10, I mean that he's not a suitable option. He struggled manfully to fill a position that was not in his skillset and never gave up.....I guess it was harder to take in light of such determination that he just wasn't good enough. DHP as well, didn't have the skills, in an ideal world, he'd be a low minute bench player until his skills improve. Sare worked hard despite being as slow as a wet week.......in short it was gutsy, but disappointing.

we do need to make changes, but that is not necessarily because the guys weren't putting in (at least we've made some ground somewhere)
