I should imagine that if this second tier comp does get off the ground there may be a few more spots for locals to test themselves at a higher level?

Pluse the inevitable few from the Shute Shield on "trial" no doubt.
BTW that bloke who played against the Lions - Hugh Roach - looks pretty handy. Good work rate around the park and a good ball carrier. Seen him play for Eastwood a couple of times. Plays Hooker and Openside. A blast from the past seeing the 7 throw to the lineout. But more usually it was a winger.

James O'Connor may be the incumbent Wallabies No.10, but Australia's Super Rugby provinces aren't pushing each other out of the way to get his signature. With the Rebels farewelling him, and the Brumbies, New South Wales Waratahs and Queensland Reds showing little interest, the assumption was that O'Connor would return to Perth. But we hear recent talks between O'Connor and Western Force officials finished well short of a hug fest, with claims he may still be owed money from the club's former sponsor, the infamous Firepower group. Our snouts in the OK Corral also tell us also there remains some animosity in Perth over O'Connor's departure from the Force several years ago. Ruck'n Maul vividly recalls several highly inflammatory conversations with Force officials after O'Connor provided them with a list of demands and then shortly after departed for Melbourne. Their opinion of O'Connor was well short of positive. Not surprisingly we now hear O'Connor is looking overseas. There are already whispers of talks with London club Saracens.
Poor Greg Growden - does he know his arse from his elbow?
And which Force officials from mid 2011 are still Force officials now Greg? Vern Reid? Mitch Hardy?? Braindead Dicl Graham???Quote:

What happened to the complete cleanout with the RELAUNCH?
I also think he may have gotten Gits mixed up with JOC as far as Firepower money is concerned. Wasn't that just Gits problem at the time?
Yep! It was Gitz owed funds by Firepower...

Correct. And Gits got his too
I thought Grumbles Growden was dead? Ah well....
