Best news all year for me!! :-)))
It is interesting to see the re-signings so far this year of the crucial players that were coming off contract
Albie Matthewson -2 years
Nathan Charles - 2 years
Angus Cotrell - 2 Years
They would have been top of the list and are now under contract, good on Rugby WA.
Add to this young guns Adam Coleman and Ollie Hoskins.
And so far so good, just to tie up a few more loose ends and hopefully a new signing or two and then its onto 2015. Onwards and upwards
Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
'Wreck It' Rory Walton signs on until the end of 2016.

Now that was one announcement I wasn't expecting!
Any more news on Jayden??
Jayden is already over in Italy. I'm confused though as to if he is just playing there during the off season and then returning or if he has gone for good. This is where the reporting from the papers & Force needs to be clearer....unless I have missed an announcement explaining this somewhere?Originally Posted by Alison
You haven't missed anything Moono. But if he's in Italy then that suggests to me he's a goner from here. Their season would only just be getting going before he would have to be back here for pre-season otherwise??
Sad news guys - I tweeted the Force last night to ask about Jayden and they said he'd taken up a contract in Italy :-(( You might wanna update the front page TIF. Hope Foles has his sights on some good replacements for the back line! Am sure he has :-)
Done. So that's now 20 of 30 signed for next year and beyond. I am leaving The Honeybadger as part of that list as they plan on keeping that spot clear for him to return at this stage.

Pretty sure Ed Stubbs has gone too. Not sure where to, but he has definitely tweeted and insta'd recently that he's left the Force.
Can someone please post something positive? Like, Paddy Dellit has left maybe?
Is that too mean? Sorry Paddy
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
So from reading different forums and news articles it looks as if the EPS is no more.
However the squad size will go from 30 to 32 and it will then be up to the teams to carry WTS members (or academies)
In the West today it has Cowan and DHP very close to new contracts as well as Foley beginning talks for a new contract.

“Everyone knows whether it’s rugby, politics or whatever, front-rowers should rule the world, so to have a hooker at the helm makes sense,” Nathan Charles Western Force & Wallabies Hooker.
Shame about Jayden he was a good contributor. Interesting times for the Force this off season. They will be working diligently to ensure next year, 10 years of the Force is a successful one and not a regression. They have some recruitment work ahead of them.
Good new with Foles.....he deserves the opportunity to see this through and shape this team for a finals run.
10 years! Crikey can you believe it?????
Did we sign Ed Quirk or was that just a rumour?
Still think the Tahs have too many wingers. Horne, Betham, Alofa, Carraro, the other big Fijian dude. We should try and get one of them, preferably Horne. Or even McCabe or Colman who normally start on the bench for the Brumbies. Just build a bit of depth.
So of then players off contract at the end of 2014 and who are also in the Spirit Squad, but not yet renewed Force contract for 2015 is just
Pekka
DHP
Junior
So I would expect these three to stay and it's goodbye to
Chris Alcock
Chris Tuatara-Morrison
Ed Stubbs
Pat Dellit
With a question mark still over
