    Luke Jones and Scott Fardy. Although I have to say that I am loving Coleman and Cottrell.

    Honestly, I wonder what having O'Connor and Giteau would have been like with their heads on straight.

    Players who really could have been, but never got there? Maybe Tamaiti Horua and Gene Fairbanks. I've seen them do some great stuff when they were younger. Maybe Ryan Cross didn't really blossom here, in the way that he could have.

    Injuries messing things up? Lachlan MacKay, Cameron Shepherd and poor old André Pretorius.

    I thought James Stannard could have been picked as a Wallaby utility back for the 2011 World Cup too.

    Who I would have liked to see at the Force? Adam Wallace-Harrison.

    And back in his younger days, with our Firepower money, Craig Wing.

    I wonder if there'll be any "might-have-beens" from the current squad?

    Brock and James really did not get a chance and we got giteau gate instead... We could have paid them a reasonable salary and watched them blossom instead of giteau as we really did not got far forward with the show ponies

    Do you mean like players that we cut loose or leave us that will go on to be something big?

    I wonder how Phoenix Battye will turn out. I also wonder what will happen with Justin Turner. If Alby stays, Turner will most likely leave . He might stay if Alby doesn't. If he could stay injury free, he could be a very good scrumhalf.

    Yeah something like that, I wonder if Ed Stubbs might be someone like that- and Turner too.

    There's one more everyone here has overlooked.

    How many of those you've all named have played international rugby?

    We'll there's one kid who played his first senior game in Perth, was in the Force Academy, and was overlooked for a contract, even though he toured South Africa with the Force on one occasion.

    He's now a Welsh International.

    Your right of course, Fulvio. Surely the biggest one that got away. He'd add to the 7 West Australian ex-juniors currently in ZA. Only 5 from NSW and 4 from Queensland if my numbers are correct.

    last 9 years of ASM history would have been very different. I used to say about Brock James : he can't win a game on its own, but we can't win without him in the squad. A wonderful player, and on top of that he is such a clever and nice person.
