How would they not have the coin to pay them? The last 2 seasons they have lost the following big name players and replaced them with young up and comers or no names.... They should be millions under the bloody cap at this point!!!!! (with the bold print guys all wallabies) Robertson Latu...

Pretty hard to watch... but I don't think anyone can blame the backs.... Most of the starting forward pack were insipid.... Was hoping they might step up but the forwards were not up to the task. Too many boys playing men. No gain line wins, no dominant tackles and some poor defensive reads...

Seems I’m going hard against the grain here but I’m tipping the Brumbies to seriously underperform against expectations this year…. starting with a solid win by the Force Starting props are world class, though Fainga'a is no world-beater at hooker and his test caps are more a reflection of poor...

That's a given, but with the Reds pack missing a few and the 2 kiwi locks looking good I think we'll go very well up front.

I've got to say I'm absolutely rapt with the starting backline and will go on to predict they will outplay the reds wallaby backs..... Gordon is a huge threat, Harrison, skill-wise is the best 10 in OZ right now and I wouldn't swap him for anyone. Plus kicks at 90%+ All the back five have...

After watching the trial match v Reds I would suggest not selected.... with low probability of getting picked again. Whilst he is a big hard running unit with soft hands and hits hard in D (when he manages to hit the target), he was looking slow and ponderous against the Reds. Really poor...

Fortunately Backrow is the one position we are fairly deep in. Assuming Hooper returns for 2022 then we still have Swinton, Hooper and likely Harris as starters with Tizzano on the bench. Not a complete disaster

Not sure where you get your info, but Matt Hodgson has never played a professional rugby game in the backs ever... Juniors, Shute shield, Waratahs and Force were all in the back row. Played 7s also as a forward.

Miotti has to start.... streets ahead of Lance and McIntyre. Also kicks goals at 80%+ Both those blokes will be vying for a bench spot if WF are serious about winning matches this year. As much as I support local players getting the nod in a close call, this is not even close......

Rapp was probably the last man standing who was part of the disastrous Gibson/Hore trainwreck era... (BTW this is all purely speculation on my part) If Rapp was still in denial about the previous era I'd be shocked if Penney didn't have a major problem with him. Considering Penney has...

Thanks for making my point.... 3 local recruits with the rest 'Recruited' from somewhere else that is 'not local' but if you say not poached then if you say so....... Not here to argue with anyone, and definitely not a Brumbies hater, but the fact is that they host a Super Rugby rugby franchise but...

Wasn't meaning this thread as such, just noting that there are different views on everything and the tahs sponsor choice will never satisfy everyone

Exactly what I'm talking about...

Some call it recruitment, some call it poaching, depends on which direction they are heading. Also, not trying to be disrespectful, but of the 13 I would only count 1 - Powell - as currently starting quality for any of the Aus Super Rugby squads, and maybe half of them possibly in the matchday squad...

And herein lies the problem I was alluding to.. Ethics are largely a matter of opinion and what is ethical to you or I may be extremely unethical to those with conflicting ideologies. The real issue is that some sections of the community are inclined to forcing their own éthics/ideology upon...

I'm just very happy the Tahs have got a great new sponsor. However when it comes to finding a new sponsor that would satisfy the 'woke' amongst us it's pointless. The goal posts move every 5 minutes depending on which cause, company or person is on todays woke hit list. ... they'll be...

I think everyone realises that NSW and Qld produce approx 75% of Australia's professional players with the other 25% made up of a combination of NZ, Fiji, PI, Melbourne and Perth. Unfortunately the Brumbies whilst harping about their Super Rugby record produce the least of any these days. The last...

Gunnedah, that's in Queensland! Yeovil, that's in Queensland!! Lennox Head, that's in Queensland!!! Queensland's Everywhere..... To plagiarise that old SOO pisstake!! :D

I took the bait alright and then spooled the reel......o_O
