Western Force in talks with James O'Connor

[taylor]

I think JOC should go to the NRL. What's unacceptable behaviour by the ARU is a family Sunday afternoon get-together at grannies place for the league boys. He could go to Canberra and knock around with Fergusen or Carny at the Sharks or go north with Tamou and Lui or the Gold Coast with Bird and Miles or St George and their fullback or if he likes his girls a bit younger he could go to Manly or if he wants to rough it a bit he could go to Parra with Matua. The world would be his oyster. He might get paid a bit more too which would be handy, because since he left the Force ,he's looking less like a "rabbit" and more like gremlin so I think his advertising days are limited. Having said that, I would also like to see him come home to Perth.

You'll feel like glassing your girlfriend on Swisse?

For those of you who are of the opinion that JOC should not be signed by the Western Force.

I would like to invite all of you to suggest a player (who is off contract and available) that the Western Force should get instead of JOC. Oh and if you're suggested player could be of similar experience and skillset to JOC.

I was in the "give JOC another shot" camp back when the Rabble came to Perth earlier in the year. When he first hinted a return.

I'm not so sure now. But after what's been said by Michael Foley, Matt Hodgson and Ben McCalman I'm reassured that he'll only come on their terms.

that's a very close ended question for me as i do not know every player available out there - however I would rather have someone with half JOC's skill but have respect for everything that is rugby and that of his team mates than an egostitical brat like him back.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the kid's got talent but at the end of the day it's all about him!

JOC was out running water for West Harbour over the weekend after he was ruled out for 2 week with a knee injury. Good on the bloke i say!

[PeterM]

For what its worth in my view no matter what sport I follow no matter my personal view any player good or bad if they are playing for the team I support or the country I support he gets my full support

[SNOB]

Well said Peter.
If the Force admin decide its best for the Force so be it.
I just wish all this dithering about was over its a bit similar to the KPI saga, ie dragging on.

offer made - response due this week.

The Force have offered JOC a contract?

Comment posted on G&G last night

"A friend of mine met with JOC last night and she says he is moving to Perth."

We shall wait and see i guess.

[WFDom]

Heard he's unofficially accepted

[BeeJay]

We need him - we would be foolish to let him slip through our fingers. He always put in 100% for us on the field.

And so did Giteau for that matter.
