    How do you solve a problem like our backline?

    Can't catch, can't kick, can't pass, can't tackle, can't run straight.............you would hate being a Force forward.

    Harvey is slower than my mum. Can we give him a thanks for trying and pay his airfare home?

    genia was a good pickup since he was off contract but we need a 10 and 12

    Thanks

    ps backs are gayer than AIDS

    My 86 year old Mum has been going on about that useless kicker and keeps asking why he's there and if he's just a temp why the hell don't we replace him ASAP.
    She also said that she has seen better rugby played at Morley.
    I think she would also make a better ref than that lot out there at the moment.(bat Ecky)

    I can't stand Stanley. If he'd just stop for a second and realise the big Fijian monster outside him has 10 times the chance of breaking the line and not spilling the ball, the world would be a better place. Freaking awful.

    I'd like to see-more of Seymour

    Or get that raging little try scoring machine from the Bunbury Bulls under 9s. Probably be more effective!

    A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

    I was thinking more along the lines of Nalaga at 12 and Stanley who does have some pace at 11, might be worth a go just to try something different.
    Stanley is not breaking the line and he seems to be attracting quite a bit of opposition attention.
    Nalaga is a big lad and he may have more success in breaking the line and with Cummins and co we could see some go forward moves.

    I agree totally and putting Sidey at 12 doesnt improve things. Defensively both are solid but in attack offer nothing.

    I continue to push for a passer at 12, Ben Seymour, being the better of the two would suffice this year, but sack Harvey and replace him with a ball playing 12 or a World class 10, somebody to get the heat off Ben

    I don't get the Seymour love affair

    I've seen better players in second grade playing with a hangover

    How do you solve a problem like our backline?

    How do you solve a problem like our backline?

    Change the name of the franchise to Gold Coast Force or Greater Western Sydney Force?

    I agree with most said above.

    I thought everything Nalaga did on saturday he did well, he just didn't do enough of it.

    Stanley is useless and why the hell would you use him to constantly crash the ball up when you could use Nalaga!

    The season is pretty much over now, time to try something different. Nalaga to 12 and more game time to Godwin to see if he can make it. Harvey can't play 10 again, I would rather give Holmes a crack at it, but Seymour first, then Godwin
