    Seems media had to dredge up some news about nothin. Noted on Force facebook they're looking for those interested in attending a couple of discussion nights in Subi. But what exactly do we need to discuss? That we're all pissed off supporters, the Force fell to bits after a couple of dodgy games with unfortunate decisions and lost their way, that they kicked too fuckin much the entire season? If WA Rugby haven't got the message yet on what the fans think then they are waaaaaayyyyy out of touch! We don't need post Mortems we need the results. Why do they need the fans to give an opinion on how to do it?

    We are very negative this year! I hope they do well this year as I so enjoyed the positivity of 2014.

    You know here we go again. Its another year and we have some puff pieces to fire up the Supporters. OK, after 10 years of no results - for some the tank of expectations is a little dry. But thats OK.

    I am excited.

    2015 for the Western Force, was a shocker. 2015 for me - was - lets make no bones about it - shit. BUT, things are looking up. For the first time in 2.5 years I managed to get a job. I am getting paid some good money. and screw it, part of that is going to Western Force Interstate Membership.

    I have believed for 10 years and I am not going to stop now. The Force have been thru some tough times. Well, So have I. and I feel like I am finally coming out the other side of a long and scary tunnel. Its time for the Force to come out of the Tunnel too. Its like we are on this journey together.

    After coming last in 2015 - All I want is for us to win more games then we lose. That is a good result. I would like to see nib Stadium become a fortress. that no visiting team wants to visit. Then we can move onward and upward.

    My name is Simon,
    and I am a Western Force Fan.

    I thought that was pretentiousness I smelled.

    Yes, I agree the piece reads a bit lame, but I for one don't mind reading that the team take ownership for the extremely poor season and are prepared to do something about it in 2016!

    As a side note, I saw the boys coming out of the ocean at City Beach yesterday and they were all looking big. Lots of training in the off season i'm suspecting. I asked Hodgo if they had been training in the water or just having a tea bagging session as it looked like to me.... after the initial hard look he relented with a smile and said they had just been feeding the fish :-)

    Amongst all this negativity, at least Charlie Sheen remains positive

    Chibi, I don't have a clue how good cubelli is, but I think scrum-half is the one position we don't need to strengthen - I think all 3 of our guys could start and play well

    A few years ago, we had Justin Turner, Michael Snowden and a retiring Brett Sheehan. That's why I was hoping for Cubelli back then, Prior and Mathewson hadn't joined as yet.
