We need it! They keep getting injured. Seriously impressed with Brown last night. Hope they sign him up for the future!

I really don't want to get into the whole religion thing here. So looking at it from an employer POV, this is what it looks like when you open his Instagram page. Big shot of him in his Tahs jersey next to his most recent post. It will be hard for him to do the contrite, I'm sorry thing as...

Also based on his form recently, why make a special effort to keep him? Teams have him worked out. He gets the ball, he runs. Once they get him to ground he looked to be pretty easy to turn over in the past few weeks, gives away a lot of penalties. The reason he looked so effective early on was...

If that's correct then McKellar better be doing some smart recruiting (don't have enough faith in him for that to happen) or the brumbies are screwed, relying on Benny A as backup? Mayhew and Makin are a mile better than him, our scrum looked so much better with them there. Sio (injury prone the...

This should probably go in a match thread but couldn't find one. After the Rebels game didn't McKellar say he would bring in big changes for the SA tour? I seem to recall him saying something along those lines. Looks like the big changes were miving Christian back to 10 (hasn't performed)...

Will be a very different scenario next year. I'd say expectations will be pretty bloody high, a lot of confidence now among Rebels fans I have talked to given the new coach and probable new players. Sad that it takes a bunch of players and a coach from another team to give the guys I know (not...

Pulver really doesn't come across too well! I do love that the chairman shut him up when he accused them of mocking him. I have seen a few references to what needs to be done/prepared for the 11th, requested documents etc, but can't actually find where that actually says what. Can someone point...

FFS the slinging in here degenerated quickly since I looked this morning. I get that one of the arguments is who produces the most local Wallabies ... but why the hell does it matter where they come from? So a lot of the Wallabies that have come through the Brumbies aren't from Canberra ... so...

You realise the same can be said for the Waratahs and Reds? Both have received financial help from ARU. Both have dropping crowds. Both have a long history of poor performances. If they were based anywhere but QLD and NSW they'd be on the chopping block too. If a goal of the ARU was to turn...

I think (and I'm far from an expert like some) that SARU met on the 6th to discuss SA and what they want, but no announcement was made in regards to Super Rugby, more about the Springboks. Last night Geerob wrote that the ARU are meeting tomorrow and it sounds pretty ominous (title f piece -"ARU...

I think this right here is yet another negative for Oz rugby to come out of all of this. If the announcement is made that an Australian team will definitely be cut, fans of each of the three franchises will all be saying don't cut us cut "name of other team here" I think we should retain all 5...

Just going to leave this here. From when the Rebels joined until last year. Makes the ARU look pretty stupid. We know the motivation is financial but in terms of damaging the success of Oz rugby then getting rid of the Brumbies is a pretty big step in that direction (if thats what they end up...

If this is true would they seriously wait until September to announce it? Granted, if they made the announcement before the test I imagine tickets wouldn't sell very well, but by September clubs are already starting to memberships etc for the following season. To leave ppl hanging for that long...

I just re-checked, the email I got is dated 8th August. Nothing earlier, it mentioned that those who were set for auto renewal had already got something but I hadn't.

I received an email from the Brumbies last week saying membership packs were being mailed out shortly with information on how to renew. I was also caught out by the suddenness of it yesterday when I got my pack, it was basically here's the info, payment needs to be made next working day. Don't...

I imagine having a 6pm Friday game will impact the crowd pretty significantly (assuming we make the finals). Personally I won't be able to make it, and I haven't missed a game all season. It just won't be possible to get from work to Bruce in time. 2 of my co-workers are also talking about not...

I've been following all of this since the beginning, trying to work out WTF is going on and which side I fall on. Most of it is unclear, but when I woke up this morning I realised something pretty sad. I don't really care any more. Don't get me wrong, I love the Brumbies, the team that is. The...

The problem is, when Folau has been involved, unless he gets a clean break he has not done too well at the breakdown, he has turned the ball over a number of times, this is something that might happen more at 13 as they run into the defence more. TK hasn't been playing as well this year as he...

As a Brumbies fan I'm very nervous about this one. The loss of Vaea and Pocock is huge, still not sure on Butler's fitness and to be honest I just don't really trust Toua at fullback. I think he's a liability and if Folau is even slightly on song he will run rings around him. On the upside, I...

I actually thought the best and most believable example (cough cough) was when Michael Hooper was apparently going to play for Manly the week before the Bledisloe Cup. He served his suspension by missing the SS match, possibly a semi I think, then was free to play against the Kiwis. Would love...
