    Legends of the Force

    With out tenth season coming up next year, I'm interested in which 3 players since inception that would be your choice to be honored in some way to mark the occasion .
    I was thinking that this should exclude current players but that would mean no Hodgo so let's say you can have one from the current squad if you think they merit it.


    Ok so mine are

    1. Cameron Shepherd
    2. Nathan Sharpe
    3. Matt Hodgson

    Let us know what you think and how or if we should honour them somehow next year

    If no current squad I would add Spanner as No3, as he is still involved as a Board Member and Players Rep to Board

    My nominations would be:

    1) Nathan Sharpe as our inaugural captain;
    2) Cameron Shepherd for kicking the points of our first home win; and
    3) Matt Hodgson as he is the current captain and one of our longest serving players.

    Those three would be my pick.

    Maybe as wildcards, Brendan Cannon as the first signing and John Welborn as the sole WA player at foundation (although his biggest accomplishments were before he joined the Force).

    1) N. Sharpe - goes without saying
    2) S. Staniforth - inaugural player of the year, most tries in any one season (9 in first year), continued involvement post playing career
    3) T. McIsaac - first player to play 50 caps with the Force (played every game of first 4 seasons for 52 consecutive caps before retiring)

    Hodgo to be added upon retirement obviously
