All this bullshit of changing the recruiting rules for the Super 15 to allow more foreign players makes me wonder if we are doing enough to retain our local boys.

You could include a player like Brent Murphy a lock/6 playing in the local comp now who has been in and out if the force setup since the force started. He toured with the team a few times has trained a lot with them. Went over to the shield was a first grade started playing really well. He is about 25 now so prop missed his chance now. He played for the force a in the cutting raiser if the reds game and come of the bench he out played phenix and jake ball both now on the force roster. (the consperisry theorist in me think that it might have something to with him being from baysie and not one of the "blue ribbon" teams which hasn't helped him get that foot in the door...but Ill leave that sort of thought to rumour Monger)

Kevin Proctor - Melbourne Storm RL, can thru the ranks at Morley-Bayswater Rugby Club, and now in the extended rep squad.
Does Adam Wallace-Harrison count?
Will Brock
now playing in the UK
I might be wrong but Scott Higginbothom was with the Force before moving to the Reds, I thought he was from WA as well.
From WA, but I don't recall him having anything to do with the Force?

80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Thought he was in the acadmey several years ago, could be wrong though.
Look's as though he went to school in Southport Queensland then to Reds academy

Wal - Adam Wallace-Harrison - does count. Former Wesley College Star and SOAKS colt - went to Sunny Bank and in the early days competed with Sharpie for 1st grade starting spot, then contracted to reds and was cruelly injured 15 seconds in trial match against Crusaders - ACL - I think. Then went to Brumbies, also played Australia 'A'. Was hopeful of being picked up by Mitch and the Force, no luck there so went to Japan, now back at Reds. Would have been awesome to follow in footsteps of Welborn.
Ryan Tyrell also heading to Rebels
We have the talent here............
Your missing Darran Murphy off your list force guy
