    There will always be a little corner of Woody that is forever Western Force

    Hey, I'm not going to go back and support the Saders just coz Josh is leaving. I've really enjoyed being the lone supporter at my local and will continue to do so.
    Hell, with a 10 2011 could be EWF finals time. Damn sure I want to be part of that.

    GO HARD TIZ!!! YOU GOT THIS..... x
    ..... and i sit and laugh at those that think they know him and what his about why he left and why he played in sydney......

    i really think people should stop giving players a hard time.... you have no right to judge or THINK you know there life..... they are simply playing a sport they love which they are lucky enough to have as a career.... dont put your 2 cents in.... jus let it be.....

    TIZ UR THE MANS AND YOU WILL GO FAR!

    no-ones giving the players a hard time.. this is the western force supporters forum and if you play for the Western Force we will Support you.. however from time to time there will be speculation if we feel a player or players are not up to the standard we like to see.. so we voice our opinion..
    you're saying we should shut up and put up with whatever??.. part of being a professional sportsperson is having the ability or learning to have the ability to take criticism and learn & grow...there is no better criticism than that from your fans.
    Believe me we all like Josh and we all feel he had value we also felt he was still a bit rough around the edges and needed to work on a few things.. a pity we didnt get to see him get a starting role on a consistent basis as it looks like the coach felt the same way about him that we did. He is his own man and noone should influence his decisions unless he wants them to.

    good luck to him and thanks for all the fishes!

    The Stags are my NPC team. But I'll be watching Josh whenever he plays too.

    Between following Josh and having a squiz at SBW, I reckon the TV ratings will get a boost around these parts.

    Still here, just not so often.

    Bit of an update from over here;
    If Josh plays well enough in the NPC and secures a good contract with the Highlanders next year he'll probably have Steve Hansen as his coach. Part of the new 'keeping the AB coaches in touch' thing that's going on.

    Sonny Bill had his knee cleaned up today and is unlikely to be wearing red and black until the middle of August.

    Josh headed down South last week. It will take him some time to get used to the clawing cold in Otago, it can be extremely cold for days on end at this time of the year.

    I have seen a fair bit of Josh's younger brother Sam playing for my club recently. He is playing #10 and making a bloody good job of it. Not bad for the youngest kid in the team.

    Tri Nations this weekend should give an indication where everybody is at 15 months out from the RWC. Will the Bok be too old next year? Will the Wallabies be too young? Will the ABs choke again?

    That was certainly his intention but he is only just 15 and that was when Josh was still there,................................... still, if Josh does the bizo in the next couple of seasons he may come back (he'll be way over South Island winters by then)

    To be fair, we did hang out in the showers a couple of times but I never slept with him! Beloveit, you would have met another of my 'boys' (sounds very Scout Masterish I know) in Kaine Manehira, another outstanding footballer but lacking Josh's professional attitude.
