Western Force stay consistent for showdown with Reds

Tavatavanawai Or Clarke would be better on left side

Seems like a meaningless side unless it were the best of NZ and Aus say taking on the rest of the Pacific etc. Could they do a grandparent thing and make it a service based team? Any GP, parent, person with done service time is eligible?

Not that the side is used a lot, but it could be.

Dmac is best under pressure, he doesn’t like space (see him get in two minds at the start and just standing there? He ended up getting swamped. In a way though (he did this several times) it’s better than having Beaudy in that situation, as his reaction would have been to boot the ball. Dmac decided to hold onto it and take the tackle. Agreed the picture changes quickly on who would be best if Beaudy could take kicking out of his game completely, because he would run better than Dmac in that same situation.

I think I disagree with what you liked from the weekend though. They don’t need Dmac, BB, Jordie doing those loop plays, they have Billy proctor in midfield who is a much better handler of the ball in those situations, just use him. Basically use tho whole team, we don’t need a hero trying to run all over the backline. That’s where Dmac was best last year I reckon, he just hit his outsides with a good pass and only looped when there was a lot of space to take advantage of (not to create space like they were trying on the weekend).

Either situation would be an improvement, I agree.

AB’s will gell next game and pile on 25 points + differential. Oh and yes france were v good btw, loved that game.
