Shame about Tiatia and anstee
Chase has an average of a try every second game for us. I doubt any other Force player (maybe ever) was near that. For comparison The Badger's average was 1 from 5. Tiatia is susceptible the odd crazy error but usually when trying something. With his scoring stats that's a pretty acceptable trade-off. At only 28, a big loss.

He used to really infuriate me with his more outlandish attempts, seemed really naive to me, however, have seen a different side to him in 2024.
I remember commenting at the time around his closeout leadership in the last five minutes against Crusaders, which at the time for me came from left field.
He's evidently become quite an influential character in the changeroom, which has a value of its own and will certainly be missed, though hopefully the younger players staying have observed and will emulate this.
On balance, yes a sad loss and wish him well.
