    The One Who Got Away

    Just interested in people's thoughts on who, in Western Force's relatively short history, qualifies as "the one who got away".
    The player who,when you see them running around in a different jersey, invokes the Homer Simpson "Doh! - if only he was still with us" - or when something goes awry in our current team, "if only ....... Was still here".

    I know there will be some (?) JOC support - and that Jo has Sharpie indelibly etched into the ...... Spot, but who are the standouts for you?

    Watching Clermont playing on Foxtel, Brock James certainly ranks highly for me (probably for both WF and Wallabies) and I get the inkling that, on current potential, Luke Jones may feature if I was to consider the same question in two years time.

    And, for a bunch of different reasons, AJ Whalley!!

    That's a good list although I only would have added Nadolo this year, not being overly familiar with his European form.

    He never played for us, but from a local point of view I would have liked to have seen Adam Wallace-Harrison at the Force.

    I always rated Mitch Inman and still think he's got the goods and I must say I was disappointed to see him leave.

    Inman was the first name that came to mind for me as well.
    He's playing very well at the Rebels.

    Taking into account potential:
    Cruze Ah Nau
    Paul Alo-Emile
    Although I understand why both left: it's a bit hard to get into the team as a front-rower
    Maybe the Hodson kiddie, as he is a WA product, but he would have taken a few years to develop as loosie at super level, so good on him to try his chances over in Melb.
    I, too, really rate Mitch Inman as a player and a bloke. Shame he left.
    David Smith maybe?
    Brock James

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    The only player i think we could do with ATM would be Inman at 13 he and Godwin would tear teams to pieces.
