    Richard Graham should fall on his sword...for the sake of the franchise

    RG is tactically inept and short of a clue

    The mark of his stupidity was demonstrated with his game plan for the Tahs last year.........his plan to bore them into error.

    The Brumbies rookies were never tested

    Since he is incapable of bringing the Force's most attacking threat into the game, perhaps he could google some moves from the allblacks in the mid to late 90's when Jonah Lomu was never seen on the wing holding his todger and looking bored

    Our huge Fijian flyer hardly touched the ball in the first 40 and managed to get his hands on it by accident a few times in the second dig with devastating effect

    In the following clip, you will see Lomu hitting the ball at top pace in mid field and on inside balls from his blind wing.......you will also see the ball being passed swiftly across a backline to the open wing.

    Just for you RG

    I think the "Get the ball to Lomu" game plan would be a bit too complicated for Graham.

    I would have expected at least a passing comment about backs and their haircuts, Rex?

    Can't agree more Rex. They didn't seem to have any game plan at all, well not for backs or wingers.
    If thats the best Graham can come up with WA Rugby should fire him now.

    Yep, that's it. Sack him 2 weeks into the season and we'll suddenly turn it all around and make the finals...

    or keep him on and we'll suddenly see the attack turn it around and make the finals.

    Which is more realistic?

    We've got the talent in the list, but the coach has no idea how to use em.

    Anyone notice how the Wallabies dramatically improved after Graham left as their attacking coach and tookover with the force????

    It's more realistic that he resigns at the end of the season if it
    Comes to that.

    Also - who would take over as head coach? And who is available?

    It was the first round of competition. At this stage you're making mountains out of molehills. Give it another few weeks before you start making shivs

    OH Rex - Go put your head in a paper bag three times and take it out twice.

    on no the sky is falling the sky is falling. The Force loose the first game of the year by 2 points. Not twenty points but two points and you call for the coaches head.

    Fair Dinkum.

    The Tahs plan from last year worked.

    You fair weathered supporters make me sick.

    The bad times and the growing pains make the wins so much more enjoyable.

    Rex its time you changed your name to Chicken Little or maybe - the Whinger

    A real supporter supports the Force the Whole Force and nothing but the Force. So help me Sharpie

    It's the same old chestnut - a "true" supporter doesn't over criticise.

    Speaking as someone who has been a member since the Force's inception, and will continue to support the Force whatever the case may be, it is precisely because we are so passionate about the team that we throw in our 2 cents worth.

    The team played the way they did because Graham coached them to play that way. Period.

    Criticising the coach's game plan is not being a fair weather fan.

    Well said. Supporters can and should have their say.
    I will have my say but I've never missed a game.
    Graham should never had the job to start with it was a WA Rugby knee jerk reaction promoting him in the first place.
