My Biggest concern for the Western Force is the clear lack of players in the wallaby set up-
Over the last two-three years the western force have only had two players that were inevitable to the wallabies starting 15 and classed as one of the best players in the country.
Not surprisingly these players were JOC and Pocock.
For the western force I firmly believe we must have two of these players once again in the squad.
In the next year I believe we have a player who fills that spot that JOC left...
Kyle Godwin.... He is the best 12 in the country and the moment and at the tender age of 20 he will surely be one of the best in the world. His overall game is fantastic he is the only player at the force who can break the line in a world class fashion... His offloading game while continue to develop, which I believe will be the strongest part of his game to break the line and give runner tactile offloads... His kicking game is average... Defensively he is also outstanding a tackling machine is our Kyle, people believe that Ant Fainga is the best option at 12 due to his leadership and defence quality I believe kyle matches his now even in the earliest part of his career.

We have no one stepping up to replace Pocock the back row looks as strong as ever for the force but it doesn't have any zest they are three hard blokes that have great work rates and are capped wallabies who have got caps due to injurys.
What I believe is that the force must sign Lopeti Timiani. The 19 year old is huge and will continue to grow..... With a backrow of 6 Brown with Cotterel as a sub 7 Hodgo with Alcock backing up 8 Lopeti with Sam Wykes as a sub.... There you have got the two Hard working grafters with the Ball carrying hard hitting 8 that will be one of the best 8s I. The world.
The Force would then have near enough have the new JOC and POCOCK.
With the likes of Brown, Hodgo, Honey Badger, Junior Rasolea, Mafi, Morahan, Madness, Charles. All players that if the western force were winning games would be in the training squad if not in the match day squad... You now have a strong super 15 team.
But saying that I think we have had stronger teams in the past....
1 step forward two steps back.
