My original suggestion to leave out many of the incumbents in 2020 and start with fresh blood was to avoid the mistakes of the past. Cast a completely new mould, rather than again building off the past failings and unsuccessful platform and culture. Reset the culture, expectations, performance...

Yep. I think so. But it probably suggest that most are believing they are intrinsically linked. One feeds the other. The strength of the first does determine the success of the second. To get back on track as a Wallabies coach I would be going after Scott Robinson on a long team deal. What...

Like any sport, we want to affiliate with our teams and players. To do so we need them the be accessible, familiar and have something relatable such as proximity, connection to the community or other form of attraction (team colours). It from here we then look at the players who form this team...

I think this could be the real is salt and reason for resistance around the whole NRC concept. Accepting that the Shute will be tier 4 and that NSW no longer has that abundant talent pool of the past are harsh reality to accept. For some its an admission that the Shute's best days are gone and...

Yep, sorry. Got ahead of myself. :oops:

The one less game would balance out the price reduction I believe.

Interesting tweet from the manly Shute president that indicates that not all is its been reported: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/the-tuesday-top-5-129/

Shame membership sign-ups fell by 15% next year compared to this year. ;) I wonder if the increase in membership coincides with essentially a new squad or is it a timing (more favorably weather) thing?

Congratulations to the two newly appointed Board members (both already Brumbies members). The critical challenges that the Brumbies need to face to secure their future is to connect with the younger generations. This is the key building block to build interest in the team, sport and a step...

Hodge has booked a meeting in Tokyo at 15:00 on Wednesday, 25 September with Nigel Hampton, QC (Quade Cooper) (date at the request of Rugby Australia). https://www.world.rugby/news/477689?lang=en

I am curious about both about Guy Porter and the lack of discussion about his signing (or did I miss the posts?). Anyone got any impressions / information / comments about him? https://www.brumbies.com.au/news/2019/09/08/shute-shield-star-joins-plus500-brumbies

Kudos goes to the Brumbies recruitment manager Chris Tindall. "So therefore it's not just about retention, it's about succession management as well." Its an old article but it forcast whats happening now...

I get your point on balance but I think times are changing and it's not a relevant marker in some respects. Can I ask if the Brumbies contacted scrummie Lachlan Albert played would he fall in to your example? I think also it it raises the question about what the NRC is for? What the Brumbies...

Thus far (from the CBR Times) "The Brumbies have Joe Powell, Ryan Lonergan and schoolboy star Lachlan Albert as their No.9 options for 2020."

Not often we have a saturated market!

Why would he stay if White signs? He will be bumped down the pecking order with reduced duties. He wants and needs games time. I would not be surprised if the Rebels or Tahs are watching with interest and there is always the risk of O/S options. The O/S option could be tempting for a 21yo...

Possibly. But that could be simply countered by RA with the simple arguments that it took their intervention to "restructure" his coaching team and their initiative to put some additional supports in place (as their instance) to help him get success. Until "their" recent intervention and...

In the fair dinkum stakes team Cheika's exit strategy will be leave while your on top and go where the $$$ are. RA only has $$$ and I bet he doesn't want to share the kingdom or glory with the other Amigos nor have to do more presentations to the Board! #skatedonthiniceandsurvived
