Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
In my book still looking for one Prop, one Lock, and one Outside Back.
And of course re-signing some existing key players.
I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of the Outside Backs already signed for next year are released.
Fines I'm happy to welcome back. Kuenzel, Tapine and Pasitoa are all young and have that on their side, but I'm a little concerned that they may not be the upgrades we need in the backs. Fines, Kuenzel and Tapine were all released by the Brumbies, so we're picking up players another team didn't want.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Not so sure they were released by the Brumbies, especially the first three, I believe they saw more opportunity to start here than there and from reading some other blogs and websites they were the the next generation for the Brumbies and this is a coup for us and the program Hodgo and Tim are building

Sounds like they were released when the Brumbies found out they were not resigning with them.

Could we see DH-P back in blue in 2022?
"Haylett-Petty, who is back into contact training, says he hopes to run out in Perth club rugby next month in what is a very different environment to the Test arena........
.......if plans to Japan do happen to fall over, there might be a spot at his former team the Western Force.
“If his health and wellbeing enables him to play rugby, we’d love to sit down and talk to him at some stage,” Force chief executive Tony Lewis said.

I like DHP. I would love to see him back in the Western Force.
However, if it has taken him 7+ months to recover from a concussion. How long will it take for him to recover from his next concussion?
I am not questioning his heart or his passion. Far from it. But, Concussions are a very serious injury and need to be treated with care and time. Can the Force afford to have our star full back out of action for potentially a whole year?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
