    "The Departed" Selection

    Just having a look through the Debuts and Caps on the Force site and realised there was a reasonable "side" of players who have left us now and only a handful to other S14 teams. From memory there is Matt Windle, Brett Stapleton and I think one other to have left without a cap.
    Short a Hooker and a capped Backrow for the Bench but I reckon it actually stacks up pretty well!

    "The Departed" Selection:

    1 Scott, Angus (Retired)
    2 Cannon, Brendan (Retired)
    3 Fitter, David
    4 Vedelago, Rudi
    5 Welborn, John (Retired)
    6 Doherty, Luke (Waratahs)
    7 Davidson, Tim (Waratahs)
    8 Fava, Scott (Waratahs)

    9 Henjak, Matt
    10 Hilgendorf, James
    11 Ioane, Digby (Reds)
    12 MacKay, Lachlan
    13 Graham, Josh
    14 DeBartolo, Gavin
    15 James, Brock

    16
    17 Te Moana, David
    18 Timani, Sitaleki (Brumbies)
    19 Windle, Matt (Uncapped)
    20 McGrath, Jon
    21 Stannard, James (Brumbies)
    22 Mailata, Tajhon

    This puts things in perspective
    Comings and goings will be high at the Force until they develop local talent.
    Nothing new under the sun.
    Gits is leaving
    Wot me worry?
    I'd sack him before he undermines the renegotiation of contracts and in particular JOC.

    I would say (not counting the initial block move to the Force) that the Reds would come pretty close to higher than this and the Tahs not far behind either.
    It's surprising how they add up when you aren't paying attention to the bigger picture all the time. The Brumbies even have had a reasonable turnover in the last four seasons thinking back.

    Good research Burgs.

    For some it will be a case of the 'grass being greener' somewhere else be it opportunities or money, for some that have moved to Perth there will be the tyranny of distance factor- where they find Perth a bit 'far away' from home (unlike Europe or Japan). The old patriotic days of playing for your state (and maybe even your country) for pride have been flogged to death by the cheque-book.

    What ever, It is a fact of life now that professionals go where the money is. So, I guess there will be a regular turnover of players. between states from year to year, contract to contract.

    Given that (on match day) there are currently 88 Aus super 14 places, (maybe 110in another couple of years) I guess it makes sense that there will be changes in playing lists as teams strive to get the best possible team on the field.

    Even so, it's a pretty amazing list with a couple of wallabies even !

    Next year all the Aussie teams will be different, see Waugh maybe leaving the Tahs and heaps will follow him elsewhere we may do well with the crumbs here. You never know we may come out of the mass exodus well, I just hope we dont lose Browny, JOC and Sheps rest of them can go if they please Drew disappoints me as he was comitted persons 12 months back his hairdresser Gits is leaving GUTLESS
