Ah, tis a predictable script; Of course the contracting won't be a distraction from coaching::rolleyes: McKellar is the frontrunner for HC (Balleymore carpark worldwide search MkII)...

Contracts expiring in red (from what I recall - feel free to correct me). I am not sure if the 20 included EPS contracts which if not will push the number above 20. PROPS Allan Ala'alatoa Ben Alexander Leslie Leulua’iali’i-Makin Nic Mayhew Scott Sio Faalelei Sione HOOKERS Robbie Abel Saia...

I couldn't agree more but don't hold your breath. The sceptic in me believes it will be the usual formula: little money + nepotism (qualifications are irreverent - we need to be besties)+ splash of stupidity (this part could be having Bernie help in the process that brings the same viewpoints...

Interesting read and a good reminder that 2017 will be a[nother] defining year for the Brumbies on and off the field. It's a timely reminder that their are skeletons still in the cupboard and more parts to this saga to play out. One can only hope that 2017 the Brumbies end up on the...

Its interesting that the key takeaway from the article (which originates from Apple TV ironically) is its its the best option for niche sports who have limited mainstream appeal and don't need (cant get) TV dollars. The latest FFA deal also supports the theory the live streaming is not a good...

The Reds marketing team strike again! Every year they come up with some marketing gold. Last year it was all about Goro. Now this is master stroke! CUTE CUTE CUTE! Talk about appealing to other demographics! I will be interesting to see the Reds 2017 take the field in their onesies! I...

He had been fairly heavily criticised for his (poor) performances most of the year, and playing @10 I don't think was a desire at all, on top of not being his thing in the 15 man format. Even playing 10 in the 10's he had gone off the boil. So I think he wanted to avoid the 10 jersey TBH and his...

Its all a gamble at this point so why not give the young blood some game time to be ready for 2018.

^^injuries are never at the right time either but it still does not answer the question why the cupboard was bare when it came to back up 10 options and there was no thought of any contingency; rather the fall back is a kid who they have little faith in yet.

^^^Thats a bit complex for us Auzzies! Farr Ra fuckén what? No E? In the good'óle proper Aussie vernacular his surname will sound like a quizzical retort; "Hardware, eh"? I do have to say its hard to look past the irony of the situation. So with Australian rugby is struggling to find some...

IMHO it would one of the smartest things the ARU could do to solve some player deficiencies quickly, even if its a short term intuitive as lead in to the RWC. It would fast track a few and there will be some casualties, but its the price that's to be pad if they want to make the big steps ready...

If you haven't worked out by now, forward planning is an after though in Aussie rugby! Sadly its the situation of our own making so its as good as it gets. I have said it before that there are some good back up 10's that will be riding the pine that could be out having a crack but when it...

The sentiment is nice and would be great at club level but this is a professional sport so its a performance based requirement, not a heart string job; and having rookies is not a new thing. I agree with what you are saying about any of the 10's in the NRC which begs the question why Thompson...

If Giteau was fit and willing I would be happy to take him. The problem is he is not fit and the willing looks more like he knows where his best retirement plan options sit. Mourad loves him and has decided he will take the 2018 option on MG's contract so who would say know to that payday and...

I love teh guy Sorry, technology issue - posted from my phone and the cut paste link to the Crimes article didn't work. :oops: I still have the ask the question why you would even go after him in the situation the Brumbies are in when MG has hardly played due to injuries in the last 2yrs and...

And I hope this is the end of this stupidity. Giteau out of the equation. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/brumbies-2017.16659/page-36

^^^^the other oddity with Rory IIRC (and another classic Aussie rugby scenario) is that his rise and discovery had nothing to do with Aussie rugby. It was his time in SA and a certain SA Brumbies coach that lead him to his initial contract at the Brumbies. You are right Mr Doug, he has done...

^^^^Really good news and with negotiations ongoing for the back of jersey so potentially more good news to come. Good to see 2017 off field coming together and Aquis supporting local Rugby. Fingers crossed the Brumbies can continue the good work in to 2018 and beyond. One interesting aspect...

Anyone seen any terms or actual value of the deal? Seems to be the key details missing after the boast about the value.

Devil is in the detail. IIRC the Aquis deal was a one year initially, similar value but more community commitment. So I would hazard a guess that Aquis who have been reported as being unhappy with the Brumbies affair did a "Holden to Eddie's Magpies" deal and insisted funds be diverted to ACT...
