2013 Trivia/Facts

[Burgs]

Force Facts I just worked out.

1. There have been 1,999 Western Force "Caps"

2. There have been 99 Western Force Debuts

3. Therefore on average a debut player will have Force career of 20.191919rec matches.

4. The next player to debut will be our 100th player. The smart money would be on Hugh McMeniman, Alby Mathewson, Sias Ebersohn or Sam Norton-Knight (in positional order). Chris Alcock as the outsider and James Hilterbrand as the 1,000:1 on positional pressure.

5. Baring injury, Pek Cowan will be our 2,000th player. If injured, then Kieran Longbottom (yay WA!), Tetera Faulkner or Salesi Manu come into the picture.

and what do you for a living?... im thinking i need to change careers as you have way too much time on your hands

[jono]

Lol. You don't want burgs' job. He might want to give it away though.

How many nights are you at now burgs?

Too many.
You will notice my post count usually goes up towards the end of the month when I am meant to be doing invoices...

I thought it pretty remarkable that only 13 of next years Squad were around prior to this season, 22 are either 2012 debutants or newbies for this coming season. You would have to think this will be a landmark in history (good or bad time will tell) when we look back in a decade or so.

[Burgs]

It wouldn't be beyond the realms of imagination, going on our previous injury record, to see these 20 run out in a match, only needing a #16 and #17 from pre 2012!

1 Salesi Ma'afu
2 James Hilterbrand
3 Salesi Manu
4 Toby Lynn
5 Hugh McMeniman
6 Angus Cottrell

I spent the arvo with the boys yesterday, damn they've got some size in the squad. I think next year they might shock us all a bit and do ok.

I have such a good feeling about next season! I think it will defo be our best yet!

[LarryNJ]

Great job mate! I think coach will keep you on staff for another year.

[sittingbison]

And it will be even better coming after the last three years!! These guys are seriously organized compared to the fiasco pretty much dating from Mitchell needing a lawyer present to attend training. And a nice vibe seems to be coming from the boys. They sound happy.
