Looks like he has deleted it.

Big mistake by White if true. Could not disagree more.
Moore is the right captain for the Brumbies.

 

[Brumbies Guy]

A bit hard on Moore, but I think Mowen as captain is a good move. New squad, new coach, new captain, new culture, and a revamped local comp. I like all of it.

Can see both sides of the arguement here. I guess we will not know if the decision is good, bad or indifferent until later in the season proper. Has he named the VC?

 

[Brumby Jack]

There will be 3 others in the leadership group, which will all be revealed in the next hour or so.

Moore may have more game experience, but that doesn’t automatically mean he is the choice to Captain under Jake White and the new playing group. White hasn't in any way rushed his decision here.


Also interestingly the decision was declared once the new team manager was announced, Tony Thorpe a former All Blacks and Crusaders manager. Now full chain of commend is set in place.

It’s of upmost importance that Wallaby Steve Moore focus on his specialist position for the Brumbies in 2012. Steve will lead on the field by example.

Not exactly a swinging voter hey.

I think it's a good move in a way, and the reason why is well illustrated by Giteau's tweet. The Brumbies were hamstrung by the player power status quo last year. New blood is good.

Exactly right. We can all guess about why Moore wasn't chosen when he seemed to be the natural choice. I don't know the guy at all but from the lounge room he looks a bit confrontational - not a bad trait against opponents but maybe not at other times.

That's my guess.

Only meet him once or twice, but agreee with your assessment.

There will be 3 others in the leadership group, which will all be revealed in the next hour or so.

Moore
McCabe
Palmer

 

[p.Tah]

this is where we'll see what Moore is made of. Will he take it on the chin, back the appointment and focus on playing or will he sulk? I think he'll take it on the chin.

 

[Slim 293]

In other good news Moore is set to take the field against the Force in Round 1.

Does anyone else feel like giving Gits a clip behind the ear and tell him to pull his head in. Used to have respect for the man. All but lost now.

Don't know about the boardies Squeak?????

 

[barbarian]

McCabe looks anorexic between Moore and Palmer. Eat a sandwich for christ's sake Pat.

 

[qwerty51]

Palmer, wow that is a surprise and a blow to Tahs fans who were hoping he'd come back home.
