The Force probably have more room in their budget
still cant imagine its a massive pay rise
and the aussies just seem to spread their good players across 5 teams so thinly that on average their teams dont preform well
Very surprised at that!
I would've thought a move to Rebels, if anywhere.

There was an article in the Aussie press about him asking for a pay rise, so that may have something to do with it. Remember Giteau got a massive contract with the orce. It's also better than having a Connacht situation innit.
Not sure what to make of this. I'd say Brett Sheehan is the Western Force's most influential player at the moment, so they're not especially thin on halfbacks. No doubt Genia is top quality, but just don't understand this move. Still, with Pocock and Genia now at the Force, they may look a bit better. Still, I think that just about kills the Reds chances at future titles, seeing as the Genia/Cooper combo was the biggest factor in their success last season.

strange call. though it is strange how the Aussie players jump around the teams a lot. That said Will and his combination with Cooper is so critical to the reds.
This would obviously be a money move, Force will have a lot of spare cash, they will be looking for a couple of big signings.

Let him go, I'll play halfback for the Reds.
