Ioane stuns Force

[Shaun]

Nah Matt he is not gone just yet. Anyways I know I will always have a soft spot for Digby, even if he is playing for the other team.

[Jess]

*sigh*

Man of the match and everything....

[Mtbeaver]

He's been one of my favourite players since the Force's very first match.

Brings a tear to the eye.

[Shaun]

Same ay... when I first started out on TWF he was on my avatar and all...

[Mtbeaver]

And guess who got the profile

[The EnForcer]

Dang, and after such a good game tonight!

Well done for tonight, go get f****d next season!

Look, I feel the same but let the man do his thing....he's young and he's got reasons.......i guess we have to bite some. I'm not happy and i think he's a future star... but good luck to him.

[Ecky]

Yeah, but:

I would have thought Force will be a force for the next few years and, if you can shine with a team that plays well and wins more than it loses, you are in better shape for wallaby selection.

If you star out on the wing or at 13 in a team that gets belted week in week out, well it's just not the same.

Diggers' wallaby future is better served over here, I reckon.

But if he is citing family reasons and home sickness, well, what can you do? Let him go, good luck to him, hope he plays really well against Froce but we still thrash the Reds!

btw doesn't one of his rellies play for Wanneroo? I'm sure I binned him in round 1. Will he go too?

[luke_the_pom]

Whinged like a true f'n Pom!

get a dictionary, look up whinge and see if what i did was whinging

im glad he is gone

smart as a true aussie

[RuckNMaul]

unfrickinbelivible

last night the commentators were saying he was yet to make up his mind

he had a blinder breaking takles left right and center, and when they did wrap him up those legs kept pumping and carried on for another 10

finally is becoming a well rounded player (catching skills have evolved out of sight) and now hes going back to the reds???

ay carumba!

[Flamethrower]

wow.....thats not going to do his head any good tonight...

Wow !! The bookie got that call wrong.

[travelling_gerry]

Wow !! The bookie got that call wrong.

Not as wrong as our "mystery" punter.....

[Mtbeaver]

But if he is citing family reasons and home sickness, well, what can you do?

Give him a hug?

[Flamethrower]

Very true. He should be made public after acting so stupid as to bet against the Force.

[Egan]

Why do I feel a salary cap and contract re-structuring will take place primarily due to all these legal wrangles over players.

It probably won't be good in the long term for the Force, but for the code nationally this sort of news is not exactly what we want to see, when crowds in Sydney are petering at 17,000.

[Thequeerone]

If he wants to go then let him go - he'ill not be much use if he doesn't want to be here -

However I am very very disappointed with him - the team have nutured him - coached him from a likely prospect into quite a useful player with a possible Wallaby future - and he repays them and us with what is looking like a farce - what has he signed ? - why were the EWF put into a position of announcing that he is staying while behind their backs he's off arranging something else - I hope he aplogies to them and us - last night stunning on field performance was a good start with us - but the lads on the team (coaching/ admin etc...) deserve much much more this must be a kick in the ... for them
