Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Even if we don't get half these players and we lose a few a long the way (Godwin, Alcock etc) it is just a nice change to see us trying to sign players.Originally Posted by The InnFORCEr
I would love to see us fill our marquee spots with a couple of big names that would really change things
I think we need to get at least one marquee of the standard of Cubelli, at least a couple of returning Wallabies that Checks has encouraged to sign up and one, maybe 2 league superstars on subsidised contracts. Anything less and the fallacy that the ARU taking over will do ANYTHING to level the playing field will be exposed.
Even talking about signing Ben Daley is worrying!
C'mon the
It's all academic anyway if our coach doesn't like them. The coaching issue needs to be resolved first.

Unless the coach has already been decided by the ARU and they are just going to go through the motions!
May the FORCE be with you!
Not fully awake yet - I read that as 'going through the minions'!
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Ben Daley has signed https://www.westernforce.com.au/arti...ure-daley-west
The "injury-plagued" Ben Daley according to the Courier Mail....
And what's with the one-year signings? First Coleman now this one. Why only a year?
Proudly Western Australian; Proudly supporting Western Australian rugby
It's probably just a case of the Force/ARU not wanting to burden/put off the new coach with a long list of players that he doesn't see the value of.
Richard Graham signed on a lot of his favourites; some who only took up space in the roster and the Force didn't have the money to pay them out. Some were simply given the freedom to go!
Ben Daley probably wants to stay in Australia will need to prove that he's recovered from a pretty serious injury and prove that he can stay match-fit. May continue as a year-by-year proposition. But COULD prove of great value.
He seems the type of bloke who will mentor the younger players/locals.
As I posted on the other thread:
To move forward we have to replace with better than what is leaving.
In my books Ben Daley is a big step up from Millar and Hoskins so this a positive in the ledger.
Welcome on board Ben it will be great to have you.

Mixed news this morning with Luke Morahan set to extend contract but Kyle is likely off to brumbies with announcement imminent.
Western Force and Wallabies winger Luke Morahan is set to re-sign for the Super Rugby club ahead of Saturday night’s final home match against the Stormers at nib Stadium.
But centre Kyle Godwin, who scored in his 50th Force appearance against the Cheetahs last Saturday, may be playing his last home game for the club as the Brumbies are set to announce he has signed with the Canberra club

True that Taz, I've been bagging the signing, but you have added some perspective for me. I do think we need a massive signature before renewals open or there might be nobody renewing
C'mon the
In that sense it seems like a good signing as long as we also sign some other quality props. TBH haven't seen much of him at all lately so really can't say how he plays. He seems to be always injured, hope that is behind him.

We get Daley and Mozza set to recommit, but Hodgo still in the dark? Seems like priorities have gone missing at HQ.
I am not a huge Daley fan, but I'll confess I've not seen so muxh of him in the last few years since injury and Slipper/Holmes locking down starting spots. Daley had great workrate around the park but was often dished up in scrums. A few years on he could be a whole lot better in that department. Holmes was in the wilderness for almost 10 years before re-emerging at RWC time.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
