Folau would be a brilliant winger, but we don't need more talented wingers right now. Keep him at 15 and everyone wins.

I'm heartbroken every time I see him in a clan jersey. How could we let the Rebels steal him from under our nose? How could Australia let him go to NZ? I think we've done pretty well in terms of player retention since bringing in Damien Hill. It was a smart idea for the board to separate...

Richie gone. Source: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/scott-sio-back-richie-and-rory-arnold-to-start-for-brumbies-20180712-p4zr0k.html

On the contract front, I'll say that it likely has more out clauses than pages. However, on the source of the rumours, I freely admit that I do not know. I thought it was ABC Radio, but a quick google gives nothing. You're right that most of it is on this forum.

If I could keep anyone on that list, it is Mayhew. Such a class player, sometimes better than Sio even.

Does To'omua qualify for the RC under the “I want to pick Pete Samu” rule?

Bittersweet. Never loved another flyhalf more. Wish him three Super Rugby runners up medals. Now we have a legit backup option at 10 if Foley underperforms.

Nobody could call this a thrown game. Any reasonable coach has some kind of squad workload management over the season, and you often have to start players to see what they're truly made of, and to see which players they combine well with.

I'm surprised that Mayhew has been benched and that Powell still starts, but this is the team to win by 30 in Sydney!

I've pissed my money against the wall got $20 on it!

My money is on: Crusaders (63pts) - Brumbies (35pts) Waratahs (44pts) - Lions (42pts) Jaguares (43pts) - Highlanders (45pts) Hurricanes (54pts) - Chiefs (45pts)

Andrew Smith confirmed gone Source: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/the-brumbies-mr-reliable-andrew-smith-retires-from-super-rugby-20180711-p4zqx0.html

Contracts are worth less than the paper they are written on.

Ben Alexander expected to re-sign for next year, but I would expect Andrew Smith has been farewelled.

Went through and you're right. Just so happened to watch Leicester for two weeks in that three week window, haha. 19 games at 12, 3 at 10. Though, for the people who doubt him as a 10 (and as a goal kicker) check out those Quins and Saracens games. Showed his class. Relevent links:

Best ref possible, I say.

I think JJH has brought some energy off the bench when we've used him, and he has some promise at 12. Let's see what happens with him under McKellar next season.

I agree that To'omua is a spectacular 12, but he's just as good at 10. Leicester thought they would just slot To'omua in at 12 outside Ford, but instead To'omua has taken over as their best 10. At the Brumbies, our best times with To'omua came when he was at 10 and Lilo was at 12. To'omua is just a...

Guess our hopes of a new coach are done and dusted... Source: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/act-brumbies-throw-support-behind-rookie-coach-dan-mckellar-for-2019-20180709-p4zqea.html
