Force still considering wayward O'Connor

[GAFFA]

Would the signing of JOC be detrimental to Godwin's development to a world class 10/12? If so, I would much rather rely on Godwin as our key player and let JOC go enjoy his time in the South of France.

i think the JOC at 10 experament is over. With Link looking at him more as a Wing/Full back i think thats where he will end up at the Force.

Hearing Foley talk yesterday saying that Morahan can play 13 says to me that could be his posi this next year with a JOC at 15 and Cummins and say DHP on the other wing.

Holmes will be the 10 with Godwin at 12.

But i would love to see JOC at 13 i think he could be a world class 13 in the BOD mould but as other have said is he to small?

Definitely think JOC could work at 13 in Super Rugby if he put in the hard work, guess his kicking game would go to waste out there though

O'Connor's future is definitely as an outside back, and if Folau stays as a 15, he'll most likely be on the wing.

I liked the way Jayden Hayward was playing at 15 at the end of last season. I'd be tempted to keep him there with JO'C and Cummins on the wings and maybe Morahan at 13. Or Rasolea to 13, Morahan to 15 and Hayward to the bench.

if foley has 1/2 a brain it wont. JOC should be olayed to fill gaps rather than push a genuine prospect out of the team

Imagine, if you will, seeing Godwin(12) taking the ball to the line, occupying a couple of defenders and almost breaking through( as he does so well), as JOC (15) uses his rabbit skills and great field awareness to dart in the gap and take Godwins reach around pass. He runs down the field supported by Morahan(wing) (when speed/agility is required) or Badger(wing)/Junior(13) (when crashing over the line is required). He offloads after taking it up to the last defenders and we are over for the fourth try in the first game of 2014.

And it all started with a tighthead from Cheese, a snipe from Alby, the back row smash through and there you have it.
Joy of Joys. Or maybe wishful thinking!

Isn't wishful thinking our mantra as force supporters?

We are bloody good at it!

i have to say, as far as Junior goes (as is obvious in past posts, i don't rate him), he has the size for crash ball, but play too much pussy footing around and gets caught almost every time.

Cummins is showing the crash ball, shoulder down, full tilt and no twinkle toes, hell even Fardy got it against the Argies.

Junior out of the 15 for me.

Sign up JOC asap and get him training with the boys!

[MI5_Dog]

You know it hit me the other night that the reason I'm really uncomfortable about JOC joining the Force is that he reminds me of Ben Cousins.
Now I'm not saying that there is any similarity with regard illicit substances,
Just saying that, in my mind, they get lumped into the same 'group' and this is why I'm wary
