    aw c'mon, Burgs - 6 players in a 37 man squad seems fair and equitable.

    Just turn that frown and the ladder upside down...

    In light of this squad, can anyone tell me what was the point of the 49 man "train-on" squad. Was it just to let a few players know that they were not even on the radar or did the selectors seriously think that the provincial coaches would just turn their players out for a few months rest before the ARC?

    I'm not just disappointed for a few of our players here. If Force players are not selected for national squads when they deserve to be it will have long term ramifications for recruitment.
