Have to say enjoyed that! Hardly any kicking and the game was fast paced and exciting!! So much going on pre match as well! I do hope another good crowd for next week! Some handy new players as well. Hope peter grant ok 😊
and we finally won our first game of the "season"
How were the newbies? Davies, Bardoul, Deegan etc
Great night. But TBH it didn't get the heart rate up at all. Nothing on the line. But will keep turning up. Perhaps the matches aginst the Rabble, Saders etc will do it.
It was a pretty good hit out for both sides. Far more coherent ball handling wise for the first sixty minutes unlike some of the dross served up in the Aus Super Rugby derbies. Good to see the Force backs passing the ball in front and looking for switch plays.
Pity about the injuries on both sides. Can't see Grant back for Tonga. Those blokes can hit high and they did say he was unconscious. Didn't realise that Uyen is from Kalgoorlie there is a big f..k you to Bumchin Bill and de Clyne right there. The Force and WA Rugby finding talent out in the desert in an AFL state.
As much as I like looking at Danielle not a fan of the post try interviews. The commentary lacked continuity. Would rather prefer the English lad on play by play commentary Lynagh who I don't think has done match commentary before (a very good studio analyst) was more comfortable when he was combining with him with comments.
Deegan looked bloody sharp. Hard to compare fairly, but he looked at least as good if not better than the St 10s.not surprised he pushed Grant to 15
Rocket was keen and looks like he's shed a few kegs, seemed to want to score a power try, he ept going off at them kicking possession away when it was live.
There were big hooahs on both sides, I think the Fijians won that department, so it was good to see the force do enough particularly with the short build up.
Grant Looked heavily concussed and surely will have at least a week off.
The gimmicks I could take or leave, but they aren't there for me so I say leave them in.
Loner cam was moment of the nigjt
It was pretty good from Deegan considering he didn't play much for Connacht who weren't helped by the coaching from the soon to be sacked Kieran Keane. Prior to that he was only playing Shute Shield for Randwick and they weren't really title contenders so it was good to see him mix it at the pro level to show off his wares. Both wingers looked sharp. Brad Lacey in one game against some big Fijian bodies showed he is a better defender than Speight.
On the back row is there any word regarding McCalman's contract situation and fitness?
Great night and glad to have rugby back all the razzmatazz was great apart from playing music while the game is on! And then above the music some idiot is telling us to shout for the Force! You dick! They couldn’t her us shouting because the freaking music was on! Get it right on Sunday please!
