    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    That's a lot of faith on two converted props and a rookie(ish). Given's Pek's size he could be an awesome hooker, but if a hooker became available I reckon the Force should at least talk to them. It's just that the pool of Australia-qualified Super 14 quality hookers is pretty small.

    You may not bet on this event. You have placed 1 bet(s) on this Event.

    This event has been awaiting settlement for more than 7 days! Try to attract the attention of the Event owner or a moderator to settle or abandon the Event.


    Timbo,

    No announcement has been made by the EWF - chatting to Sharpie the other night and got the impression that the Force are still trying to get another hooker- the ARU knocked back a 26 year old from another country on the grounds of age - to old ????? - so I havn't forgotten - and am really hanging out for either a: a signing or b: they can't get one of suitable quality - the latest it will be settled is by the first game - expecting a statement about it as most people over here are admitting it is a weakness so the journos are actually on the case

    Feel free to keep on my case though - can you post this on TWF for me - as I'm against it today and won't get there - if you are asking then others are wondering as well

    Bandise Maku didn't get a full test cap on the Boks tour. Is he still in the frame? Because as far as I can work out he only played in the mid-week games and that leaves him still eligible to play for anyone (provided he does the residency thing) right?

    So many really good hookers in South Africa (the Strauss brothers, Smit, du Plessis, Ralepelle etc) that it would be worth taking a crack in Australia.

    Typical Muddie, you'll not even commit fake money until there's a sure thing on.....see Exlie's bet in the Force-Brumbies wind up thread.

    Any word on Parsons yet?

    Not yet but it's only Tuesday - examined the West 4 times this morning as Nick Taylor seems to have the best inside Track - will cross examine at JB's tonight to see if there is a firm timeline - hoping to hear before they leave for SA

    Nick Taylor in todays West is reporting that the hope that Parsons will sign this weekend but even if he does he wont be travelling to SA with the team on Tuesday.

    Waiting waiting waiting - as Ryan has scored a Rookie Contract then it looks like James who last played for North Harbour will be the winning bet - Not willing to actually put money on who will be the actual starting Hooker
