Michael Foley has no regrets about his move from the NSW Waratahs to the Western Force New Western Force coach Michael Foley is happy in Perth. THIS time last year Michael Foley had one of the toughest gigs in Australian sport, but the former Waratahs coach insists the pressure is just as great to deliver for new club Western Force. Despite pundits backing the Force to struggle in 2013, particularly without star player David Pocock (Brumbies) and skipper Nathan Sharpe (retired), Foley said that did not alleviate his own expectations, which remain the same as when he took over the much-hyped Waratahs last year only to oversee a horror run of 12 losses in 16 games. "I've been involved in elite sport for a long time, pressure comes from the expectation you have on yourself, that hasn't changed," said Foley, who leads the Force for the first time in Super Rugby tonight against Melbourne. I'm extremely committed to the players and seeing them achieve something, guys like [captain] Matt Hodgson have been there for seven years and have really sweated and bled for the team. Foley quit the Tahs at the end of last season to join Force on a three-year deal and is happy with the new environment. "The board's mandate to me is to set a direction build a program and really go for it, and you don't get any sense that there is any doubt in their mind about that, it's good fun," Foley said. One of the nice things about being over there is everyone in the organisation, from the CEO Mark Sinderberry, through the board, to the players, no one talks about what we don't have, it's all about what we do have. What predictions there are, or who is retired or injured, it just never comes into the equation. There's been a significant change that the board has undertaken, and it's a significant thing to see how unified they want the business to be. We just go about doing what we do, no one wants us to do anything different, which has been nice. Foley also declared that he would implement a more entertaining style of game, given the Force have been criticised nearly as much as the Waratahs in the past for playing boring rugby. "We're a new team and as the season goes on, we anticipate we'll get better if we stick to the things we've said," Foley said. Firstly it's the culture, which sets the standards. Secondly it's the way we want to play. Last year the Force played a very confrontational game in the forwards, we want to continue to do that, but we want to use the ball a little bit better. We've got [assistant coaches] Steve Meehan and 'Chook' [Phil] Fowler there who have helped us understand exactly how we're going to go about that, and the players are extremely committed to moving the ball more than they did last year. Foley added "The thing that has stood out most is how determined the players are to earn the respect of the people that matter most to them, firstly each other, and then secondly people within our own organisation and our fans."
