Brumbies 2012

[Slim 293]

Captaincy or team in general?

 

[mudskipper]

Word is S.Hoiles mutually agreed to step out of the Brumbies picture......BJ what's the goss on this one?

What are you saying... Stepped out of the captaincy picture or stepped out of the team?

 

[Slim 293]

I doubt he would be stepping out of the team... A bit late to go elsewhere?

 

[mudskipper]

could be a reoccurring injury issue... he may not even get a run a the brumbies in 2012...

 

[Bilby]

Hoiles let go - bye bye not to play 2012

Hoiles let go - bye bye not to play 2012

Really? That's strange, does anyone know why?

 

[Clawhammer]

Hoiles let go - bye bye not to play 2012

Really? I actually think this wouldn't be a bad thing.

 

[Slim 293]

While I wouldn't have him in the starting XV, he is still a good player who would add experience and good depth to the squad...

Who to replace him? Preferably someone with experience, but a bit late for that unless this is White's mega plan to get Roussow?

 

[louie]

anyone got any official sources?

 

[Ruggo]

I never seen him firtting the Jake White mould anyway.

 

[Brumbieman]

Heard this yesterday at touch, apparently his achillies is still buggered and not looking good for the future...

The lucky part is that it is probably the best position for the Brumbies to lose a frontline player in - number 8 is the position that the Brumbies have the most quality depth in.

Sad for Hoiles, though. Not my favourite player or my type of number 8, but he was a good servant for the Brumbies and Aus rugby and earnt himself a few caps. Sad if it's the end of his career, hopefully he recovers enough for a deserved pension overseas, at the very least.

Australian rugby may also be losing one of those rare breeds: a rugby player with a huge tramp stamp. Who shall inherit the tramp stamp mantle?

It's been known for a while that his Achilles has been stuffed and may affect him playing in 2012. In some respects it could be similar to Clyde Rathbone who went without surgery to try and overcome the problem to no avail.

I think if you read my post about the members forum, there could be a slight indication of what's to come. Read what you will into that.

 

[Brumbieman]

The only thing I can glean from that is that you think Lealiifano might be named captain? :-\

 

[louie]

hahahahah.

The only thing I can glean from that is that you think Lealiifano might be named captain? :-\

Close Put it this way, the club captain from last year did not attend. One of those attendees has had praised heaped on them...
Coincidence?

 

[louie]

I'm still confused... but excited at least

 

[jauzy19]

Josh Valentine has signed for Narbonne in french Pro D2.

 

[Slim 293]

Is BJ insinuating that Mowen will be captain?

 

[Brumby Jack]

I'm only basing that on my own observations. No inside word or anything. That and the starting position decisions look to be something for next year.
