    yeah, they offered a contract, and tinky knew what sort of a package he was. So, congratulations to him.

    Pity for us, from what i have heard

    You can be judgmental all you want, but as a professional rugby player you have to go where the opportunity is, the Force werent offering it, the Rebels did.
    Can't argue that - hence my previous post in this thread!

    Obviously a big difference between the two offers, can't blame the lad for seeking what is best for him.

    We all bag players when they leave but remember that clubs in Professional Sport no matter what the code cut players all the time the second a player does not fit their plans

    following on from Jargan......we have a shortage of props at the moment...if the Force wanted him on a full contract he would have been offered one. Don't bag the player, if he's that good a prospect, bag the Force for dragging their heels in offering him a contract (either that or they've got their sights on something better)

    Bloody shame for us and a bonus for Tinky though I wonder who else he has up his sleeve? Whispers abound re a few other Force players bending his ear over a cleansing ale or two.

    The Force was only ever going to have room in 2012 for one of CAN or PAE and you've got to back the local guy in that. As good as PAE may one day be in the future, neither are likely to see a lot of game time next year. That extended squad spot should be offered to CAN.

    Same thing happened when Sitaleki Timani went to the Brumbies Academy. They offered him only $5000 more than the Force did and snared him. Plus he was under the impression the Brumbies would be able to sort his residency issues for him. He moved on for not really a lot at all but it happens.

    CAN had already planned to leave the force, and i think PAE was offered a EPS for 2012 from the force but went for the full contract at the Rebels. Not a hard choice for the young lad

    Does anyone have an update on CAN? no EPS contract, no full squad contract - I heard that he was smoked in Samoa and that senior coaches lost faith at that point? No Tahs deal either?

    Such a waste if he goes missing now. Another Will Brock? head east for the Shute Shield and vanish overseas.
