Western Force set sights on more big names

[jono]

This Genia thing feels like a kick in the cajones.

Meh. Would have Been great. But now there is 1.8m over 3 years to spend on others. Might get 2 blokes for that.
We're building a good team - we just need a couple of blokes to tie the backs together and offer come cohesion. Put 300k into curing spanner's neck, patent the surgery, and get him back! Then get royalties off the surgery technique

Is there some kind of conspiracy by Eastern States to bury the Force well and truly? Must be scared of any competition. Force can't get the stars aligned their way at all lately. May need to make a sacrifice to the gods.

Hopefully we can now hurt the reds more by taking 2 or 3 rising backline stars at $200-$300k per season as opposed to Genia at $600k a season now that they will have no cash left.

Also raid the Tahs, when Mitchell and Turner come back they won't need Betham or Pakalani starting and Kingston has been very impressive. Don't want to settle for Halangahu either, we need someone better than that for #10

Time for Rex to take one for the team?

Maybe, instead of paying one (pick your least favourite) of our "star" players $400k+ a year for the last 6 years, we might have been better served paying 20 young players $20k a year to train professionally and see what they could become...

I know this is a WILD ONE... but why not offer Dan Carter "drug money contract" (stupid amount of $$$)... He's playing #12 and in my eyes he's not overally happy about taking 2nd fiddle to Tom Taylor.

Imagine the membership #s / the 3rd party sponsorship / continuous sell outs plus other benefits the EWF would get if we had the likes of this player.

I reckon they would like both us and the Vics gone so they can go back to just having RU in the heartlands. If they really want the WA fanchise to be competitive, why not let us recruit more internationals or help us in other ways??

Do we really want Dan Carter and all his baggage?!?!?!

[jono]

No chance of it happening. He's halfway through his AB's deal with the sabbatical clause in it

Srinivasaraghavan
Kriengsak Niratpattanasai
MacGhilleseatheanaich
Featherstonehaugh

Might keep Horan's trap busy for a while !

[jauzy19]

Mike Blair - Mike Harris would be a nice halfback combo.

By baggage, do you mean his groin issues?
