    Any one know more?

    At this stage our list for 2023 is looking like a bit of a downgrade from 2022....

    Besides losing FLW I think in Fainga, Tiatia, Stewart, Wells and possibly Rona we are taking a big step up.

    Hegarty, Williams are no slouches either.

    Also the wider training group is a full year older and may make an appearance or two

    In addition to FLW, I'd also suggest that Medrano is a huge loss to the squad.
    McDonald is a rising star that I'd have loved us to have been able to keep too.

    Some of the guys we have picked up have lots of "potential", but equally so do a number of the players they are replacing.

    Hopefully after a couple of years playing overseas most of them will come home to Perth as developed and more matured players.

    Nick Taylor's article in today's paper has Masibaka going to Montpellier. I do hope it's all part of the partnership and we see him back at the Force one day

    It looks like Laumape is now a free agent. He has just been released from his contract with Stade Francais. Apparently his family have been having difficuilty adjusting to life in Paris.

    Lends a bit of credit to whispers that Stade were persuing Curtis Rona to fill the gap. So what do we get; good news, bad news, no news?

    Masibaka has apparently signed a 3 year deal with Montpellier, and is unable to play club rugby in Perth ahead of his move in case he gets injured.

    The Western Force has bolstered its backline stocks with the signing of Bryce Hegarty on a one-year deal.

    Hegarty joins the Force from English side Leicester Tigers, the recently crowned Premiership Rugby champions.

    The utility back, who plays predominantly as a full-back or fly-half, made his Super Rugby for the Melbourne Rebels in 2013.

    Hegarty enjoyed time with the NSW Waratahs and Queensland Reds in-between stints in the Japanese Top League with Toyota Shokki Shuttles and Black Rams Tokyo.

    The 29-year-old Brisbane-born playmaker brings a wealth of experience with him having earned his 100th Super Rugby cap in 2021 after playing a vital part in the Reds 2020 Super Rugby AU title.

    Returning to Australia for the 2023 campaign, Hegarty is excited to be joining the Force as it begins a new era under Simon Cron.

    “I’m joining a team that’s clearly on the rise and ready to challenge the top teams of the competition,” Hegarty said.

    “Simon (Cron) is one of the best coaches I’ve worked with. The way he connects the group to get the best out of the players is something quite rare and I’m really excited to be working with him again. “Joining the Force is a great opportunity to help the club be one of the dominant teams in Super Rugby. I’m looking forward to doing everything I can to help the team achieve that.”

    General Manager of Rugby Matt Hodgson said Hegarty brings much more than experience to the squad.

    “Bryce is a proven winner having won titles with the Reds and Leicester. He holds the confidence and winning mentality that we’re determined to build on across the club with Simon (Cron) at the helm,” Hodgson explained.

    “Bryce’s time in the UK and Japan has equipped him with the skills and knowledge to play different styles and understand the game at an elite level, which he can pass onto our youthful inside backs.

    “He’s a player that allows us flexibility in our approach on either side of the ruck. His ability to identify gaps and control the tempo at 10 or 15 is a major asset for the squad.”

    Careful Jargs - you don't want to get excited too early in the season.
