    Brumbies 2024

    It will be 10K paying being realistic. They have gained more sponsors in the last month or so there has been an small increase in revenue. I have been told by more then one source that what is blocking sponsor revenue is the concerns that money may flow to RA not the Brumbies and the level of...

    Round 13: Brumbies v Crusaders Sat 18th 2.35PM @ GIO STADIUM

    He was wrestling a gorilla who can scrum well. Newell is a beast and technically pretty good. Not many props will be able to get the better of Newell. So Slipper did well. Maybe if Palmer was still there Slipper and the scrum might have been better prepared. I am not seeing the same scrum...

    Waratahs 2024

    If you flow with the rumours, the Rebels fold, most of the players end up at the Tahs it will be relatively deja vu post Force cut where the bulk of the underperforming Force squad ended up in Melbourne, mixed in with the underperforming Rebels squad to continue underperforming in a different...

    Round 12: Waratahs v Brumbies Sat 11th 7.35PM @ ALLIANZ STADIUM

    I can't help but wonder if the amount of injuries is a byproduct of playing a mainly a high physically forwards power game and the training that goes with that? It appears to be a disproportionately high injury rate compared to other teams.

    Brumbies 2024

    No. Somewhat, but likely worried it's another player who has "potential" showing up for a go on the merry-go-round and also the club he is leaving are not gutted by the departure. But then again, he could be blocking the path of a better newer talent while the Force are throwing Twiggy bucks...

    Brumbies 2024

    Hard to know what $$ are involved as aside from the shorts I could see plenty of signage. Unsure if here is any "in kind" support either. IMHO it's a really good sponsorship as it one of the few big corporates in CBR that are not connected at the hip with the CBR Gov, and also do positive...

    Refereeing decisions

    Advantage is where the referee is playing the game on behalf of a team, and decides, on behalf of a team, what they think is or isn't an advantage, regardless of what a team thinks, wants or is actually happening. Generally there are two types of advantage. The first and quite rare and is as a...

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    Yeah, nah, the AFL have business people that know stuff unlike Rugby. Big difference is although making a loss they are growing and own stuff. I think it's only the Red's and Twiggy (commonly referred to as the Force)t that owns anything Rugby related other than a debt or lease. They are also...

    Round 10: Brumbies v Hurricanes Sat 27th 2.35PM @ GIO STADIUM

    Until RA puts him back on the on the radar it's just the Brumbies managing his minutes. He has played the majority of Minutes but its how fatiguing that is for him.. Remember we have already had bye rounds to rest him. I would presume that there needs to be some discussion with RA about his...

    Round 10: Brumbies v Hurricanes Sat 27th 2.35PM @ GIO STADIUM

    Curious why you think they would rest him and why he would need it if he is injury free? It's a short season in reality. I can see him splitting the game time with JD like in the past, so he has his minutes managed, but he is not a Wallaby so no reasons to be rested on that front, and 2nd in...

    Round 10: Brumbies v Hurricanes Sat 27th 2.35PM @ GIO STADIUM

    His attacking prowess is well known (thus why the signed him) when it's all front foot ball on a flat track in ideal conditions. The issue for him is when you take away the favorable conditions, the attacking goes away as well. But the key reason he is not seen as a real prospect yet is his...

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    In an indirect way RA have by deciding to do nothing more than prop-up the side for 2024 and have made it clear all conversations were about 2024. The lack of anything since then is a pretty clear clue. Let's be honest, nobody is stepping in to genuinely save the Rebels. Not even the State...

    Rd 9: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies, Sat, April 20 2024

    Totally agree. The forwards seem softer and lazy since McKellar and Lord moved on. I can't see anyone in the coaching team or playing group with that F-off, no prisoners, bash the shite outa em', mongrel attitude so our forwards are feared or disliked on the field. It's something (or someone)...

    Rd 9: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies, Sat, April 20 2024

    Looking at the Chiefs game then this, I think they have a game plan but strictly only one version. So the issue becomes there is no other options and playing what's in front of them or ad-libbing is really foreign. I know that they have been working hard on playing less structured, playing...

    Rd 9: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies, Sat, April 20 2024

    Always hard for some when you have a guy who is Club great as a player, but a mediocre coach who has never been successful appointed on reputation over results who is slowly dragging a good team that he inherited down. Its deja vu with some of it as well with the poor captaincy issue. We went...

    Rd 9: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies, Sat, April 20 2024

    The whole team got minced except he looked like that pesky floater in the bowl that just wouldn't flush with the rest of the shite. He just kept popping up to the top, over and over again.

    Rd 9: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies, Sat, April 20 2024

    Larkham process driven games plans. Once its outside of the parameters the Brumbies have no script and no free thinking. I still don't know why they brought him back, let alone keep extending him. What reinforces it for me is he is watching the sandcastle disintegrate, but still cant get out...

    Rd 9: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies, Sat, April 20 2024

    Yeah, yeah. We just following the Larkham wet game plan of kick, kick, kick, forget any game plan, kick and blame the lack of possession. You wait for the second half when we suck you in to the rinse and repeat tactic!
