So looking at the squad from a Western Force POV there are 6 current Force squad members who will play for the Spirit who don’t have a contract with the Force for 2015
Robbie Abel
Luke Burton
Pek Cowan
Dane Haylett-Petty
Junior Resolea
Dillyn Leyds
There are 4 players from the Force who have contracts for 2015 not in the Perth Squad.
Wilhelm Steenkamp
Alby Mathewson
Angus Cottrell
Adam Coleman
I assume Steenkamp and Mathewson are unable to play in the NRC and will return to the ITM and CC as they have in the past.
Cottrell is injured and out until next year which leaves Coleman who I guess will play elsewhere.
That leaves 5 players who’s future is unknown who don’t yet have contracts for 2015 and haven’t been named in the Spirit squad
Chris Alcock
Sias Ebersohn
Chris Tuatara-Morrison
Pat Dellit
Ryan Louwrens (injured out for the year)
If the Squad sizes are 32 for season 2015 that means the Force have 13 places up for grabs which should be a huge incentive for a lot of players involved.
