It seems to be a consistent problem. Even with possession and territory they just cant score. With two play-makers, and guys that can run and break the line like DHP, Folau, Kerevi and Hodge you have to start questioning what going on. I wonder if this one is more about reaping what you sow...

I agree with giving guys a go but BR's point is spot on. Also at some point it need to be watchable and supporters able to subscribe. Right now its undefinable if its a about giving guys an opportunity, a run for the Super Rugby guys, a trial for next years Brumbies or just a last minute thrown...

Giving you enough rope!:p

I believe the Brumbies may have an opportunity in 2018.;)

Both Godwin and Tevita have played poorly recently, and we still don't have a real 10 yet. I don't think Godwin can can lead a 10, nor is he a playmaker; he is more of a follower / receiver. so it means we have no direction in the backline whatsoever. So their return really doesnt provide...

Um, not where its needed in the backline.

I know. I am hoping JJH comes good - and that's more about the fact that he is local a Canberra product than talent or ability. :oops:

Playing in England.

Wow - its a hypothetical and the insecurities of Australian supporters come gushing through. Also speaks volume about what we think of our current players and prospects when a single 21yrs old Kiwi get the "Wallabies" panic button pushed. So having a Dan Carter or the like for a year of two...

He is only 21, and currently behind a new " AB 10" in Barrett at Wellington / Hurricanes. So he may be tempted to queue jump given the chance or at least put himself in a position where he can hedge his bets.

How does getting an AFL player help a rugby player at all? Ask the All Blacks! Thinking outside of the box. Worst thing you can have in sport is ingrained or institutionalised thinking. How do we (Australia) develop talent and depth if we just keep doing what we are doing? Having Jooste...

Coleman is past it. There is a significant coaching issue and philosophy in Canberra Rugby watching at this rubbish. A I have said previously, JJH in the right game in the right position great, (like a McKenzie, if used wrong - a horror story.

Actually, this story sorta writes itself. So the Brumbies need dispensation due to Lilo - so they could get permission to recruit him. Brumbies should be doing the "we need a 10 (you know the story why), you are looking for opportunity and its a 3.5hrs direct flight from home. (all fits...

An after thought - If the Brumbies did pull off such a move and also signed who I suggested, think bigger picture you would end up with a group of Powell (and Lonergan) Jooste, JJH, Horan and Garden Bachop bouncing off each other for a season or two at Super Rugby level as they develop and the likes of...

It would, and the opportunity to get development @10 under Larkham and the Brumbies could fit well for all parties. 2 seasons and he would be in a good place to head back over the dutch for Super Rugby (we Aussie's might regret it but...). Steven - Father, Graham - uncle. The sporting gene runs in...

^^^^Great minds!^Remember post #349 a few pages back: I think he would be an excellent prospect and one of the reason I made the suggestion. As far as I can find out he is unsigned and I believe the All Blacks would let him have a year or two "development" off shore with the right team...

lol x billions! So following the recommendation it would have meant Jones on the Board, and potentially Kennedys position on the board dissolved. The majority of the votes are held by the clubs and most were initially siding with Jones. So if he had the position and thus a vote - power shift...

The same reason Ruan Smith is gone!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

He seemed to be the catalyst and drive for most of the corporate / governance / operational changes and had the support of sponsors and most funding bodies - which apparently did ruffle feathers thus the ousting. I really wonder why Pulver didn't back him especially with the financial...

Another step closer to sorting out the Brumbies mess and professionalising the operations. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/brumbies/act-brumbies-to-remove-the-chief-executive-position-as-a-director-in-board-shakeup-20160929-grr2u1.html I think to fully clean the slate Kennedy has...
