    I Believe - 2025 Season

    For the last month or so I have been getting this feeling in the pit of my stomach. Sure it might have something to do with the amount of Mexican food I have been eating lately.

    But, I think it has more to do with what's happening with the Western Force this year. And I am EXCITED!

    Since day one, I have believed that Simon Cron is the answer. He is here to lead the Force to the promised land. But I also believed that the team that he adopted in year One was great for Global Rapid Rugby—just not up to the standard of Super Rugby.

    Year 2 of the Simon Cron "regime" was an improvement - as this was the first time that Cron had an opportunity to have a say in players he wants, and doesn't want.

    So here we are at Year 3. Cron has approved the whole team. Now the Force will be firing on all 8 cylinders. And that's what gets me excited.

    And to make it even better - My brand new 75-inch Samsung UHDTV to watch the Force have their Best Season ever!!!

    I believe in the Force, the Whole Force, and nothing but the Force.
    So help me Simon Cron.

    Hi X good to see you, it’s been a while.
    I agree with you that there is definitely a feeling of optimism both with the few fans I’ve spoken to and the players with whom I had a good chat on Saturday. New and old players were in positive moods. A few of the players that have come back from Europe were very positive about the Force and using it as a springboard to th Wallabies so I expect to see players giving there all for the full 80! The depth of players is also going to have an effect this year, more than in recent years, as everyone will be playing and training their arses of to get the starting jersey.
    Roll on 2025.
    Go the Force.

    Yes, this season sees our team with the most depth in our history. My biggest hope for the year is that Reesjan Pasitoa can finally see some decent game time and fulfil his promise.

    My second biggest hope is that the Tahs live up to their trial form; missing only Suaalii & just managing a late claw-back draw with a Brumbies outfit that "rested" Slipper, Valentini, AAA, Lolesio, Ikitau & Wright - obviously saving them for this weekend against stronger opposition.

    Let's not forget, the Tahs have lost pretty much ALL competition for spots once their existing players saw the writing on the wall and opted for game time in a place that, while not as fashionable, won't sell you out the instant the next shiny toy comes along.

    I think Tupou for HJH is the most stark example, they've ditched a good, solid grafter who was on the verge of locking a Wallaby spot up but unfortunately injured with a flashy 30 minute injury magnet and no real backup. I think we won out of that deal!
