@Bovidae They will lose players regardless - they are all being told to shrink their salary cap by sizeable margins.
The Force can become competitive pretty easily if Twiggy opens the cheque book. Bring in McMahon, Skelton, the two Arnolds, Latu, Kerevi, any of the 400 professional outside backs in Europe and Japan, etc.
They could very easily go from the worst team to the best. Don't see it happening though.
I still don't see the Force being shit as a problem. No comp is without whipping boys. And if they draw crowds and Twiggy investment who gives a fuck if they suck.
See that's the problem. They're not self sustaining.

Look out, fuckers. I'm official now.
On the positive side you can explain your shit decisions by pointing out you couldn't keep up with play.

5 games of women's Sevens today, plus half a game when another ref broke down. No way I'm keeping up with those girls... Even the division 2 teams.

Super Rugby debut is simply another game and another opportunity
It's been three years since Amy Perrett made Super Rugby History as the first female assistant referee. And Friday night will mark yet another milestone in an accomplished career for one of Australia's top match officials, however for the woman in the middle, it's just another game.

I watched the first half and Perrett reffed pretty well. Good communicator and let the game flow I thought.

You really shouldn't be chasing girls at your age anyway, and you're married. Then there is the whole consent thing. Might be best to find some other way to exercise? Just saying.
Seriously - good on you. Your devotion to the game is admirable.
If more Aussies were like you, you could probably get a 5th super team.

So that is what I am doing wrong. They won't listen to me about not having a fifth team either.
I'm off to the shops (where does one buy a boater?) Practicing my Queens english there. Tally ho.
I suppose that I should take some gin? -

You couldn't pay me to read that article. Genuinely would rather hear Winger's thoughts.

The first step is to admit that you have a problem.
