Self explanatory:
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Swanepoel (Preferably Turner if fit).
We need quick ball for our relatively predictable backline to make inroads. I didn't think Sheehan was too bad though against the Reds. He's not a long term option and we need to start building to the future. I'd go for mentor/injury back up for Turner and Swanny or give him the number 20 jersey. Maybe with his experience coming on the last 20 we can finally put a few of those games to bed.

As I have metioned in another thread, Swanny is off to play for Canterbury in the ITM Cup this year.
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
TIF, does that still allow him to play for the force next season?
I can't see why not.

sheehan's tougher - you need that ginst Saffey, Delve and lipman
Is that the right attitude though?
Is the reason why we lost games in the final 10-15 minutes because we start to protect a lead or change our game plan?
Rather than looking at how we can defend, shouldn't we be looking at how we can attack?
Play Swanny because if our attack functions well enough, there will naturally be less pressure on our defence. Besides Pocock and Hodgson have some of the best effective tackle percentages in the competition.

Defending a lead isn't working for the Force
Keep doing what put you in the lead is the simple answer. Hard when the legs run out of petrol though........ easy from the couch at home.
The bench has impact these days
Swanny needs game time before someone steals him
Controversy corner
Sheehan for the first half, due to his experience and to take out his frustration on being a shortarse forward. Swanepol for his crispness and youth for the second half.
the punters friend..... stick with me and you will be wearing
Not voting, you need both......actually, a far better question would be Swanny or JT? They're a little more similar to each other and the comparison's fairer. If you ditch Sheehan, you lose the option of an old-fashioned scrum half......you need that option sometimes, maybe more often than not. If you ditch Swanny, you have JT to fall back on, I can't remember far enough back to comment on whether JT managed the game as well as Swanny, but his slickness around the base of the ruck was at least equal if not better.
My call, keep Sheehan, he's unique in our team, but swanny isn't so much!
C'mon the
If Swanepoel is going to Canterbury, will he will be able to play for Cottesloe in the club finals this year?
Oh, silly me, Cottesloe won't .....
We have one of the best, if not the best, backrow in the comp. We have a wallaby on the bench FFS. The reason Sheehan was useful was that he offered essentially another backrow option when we werent strong there. Now we are. He isnt really quick enough with the pass to allow for a real attack.
Swanny and Turner are the future.
Agree with farva. Swanee and JT (when fit again) speed, confidence and decision making is spades with these two
