Brumbies 2013

[rugbyskier]

I think that's fantastic news, particularly in the way that he has battled depression and won.

Apparently it was the Legends game earlier this year where he played with a few of the former Brumby players (and a few ACT Veterans Rugby players as well) against the Wests Legends that rekindled the passion and set him on track to build up strength and fitness to be able to play Super Rugby again. I'm sure a few of my team mates will claim credit

Indeed - welcome back Clyde.
Look forward to see you smashing through some of the "established" ballerinas in 2013.
Hope for you and McCabe to become the Bruise Bros.

PS: Clyde's comeback raises great expectations - a legacy of his status as a player.

 

[mudskipper]

I can see him playing 12 or 13 at times...

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Great to hear Clyde may be back!

 

[Paradox]

Assuming all works out

9. White
10. Lilo
11. Speight
12. McCabe
13. Rathbone/Tomane
14. Tomane/Rathbone
15. Mogg

A. Smith unlucky. R Coleman and To'omua as well. Gee I hope Rathbone discovers his top draw pace.

 

[Brumby Jack]

I doubt he'll be starting straight away. He says his knee needs to be managed and might need a few games off the bench to ease back in.

Also, I doubt Andrew Smith will be demoted after last years form.

It will be his spot to lose.........

Agreed, why so quick to ditch a player that put in quality minutes doing the thankless work that let others shine.

Agree Smith had a good season at 13... But every position needs to be covered by more than 1 player, Clyde could do that well...

So could Tomane, Tevita and McCabe.

 

[mudskipper]

So could Tomane, Tevita and McCabe.

Absolutely, Clyde is got a lot of guys to compete against to win a spot even on the bench but I feel he will help push the others and I expect to see him at some stage in 2013, he is a genuine contender.

 

[Bowside]

I doubt rathbone will see too much gametime until later in the season.

Concerned that Nic White has just had shoulder operation after being dicked about by Wallaby selectors. Phipps as the back up to Genia.

 

[Ghibli]

Why would you tell a player to delay an op and then ignore him - the Wallaby joint is really dysfunctional ATM.
And then, Dean will play Genia as long as he can run on one leg - not a lot of trust in the rest of the palying stock.

Just a reminder for members wanting to get tickets for the 8 games plus Lions match next year, the cutoff is this Friday.

If you don't renew for the Lions match, the tickets are going to the Lions supporters and if any are left they will go back on sale in Feb 2013.

 

[Happy]

Of our 8 seats, 2 aren't renewing with B&I Lions tickets. Guess this means we will have a couple of Lions supporters sitting with us for that game.

 

[Brumby Jack]

That could very well be the case. I think the tickets for B&I tourists and general public will be a free for all.

But the typical fairweather fan mentality will strike. 'Oh I can't believe there's no tickets left in the good areas...'

Boo hoo. You snooze, you lose.

Anyone know why that Murray guy didn't get signed? He was mentioned in a lot of articles earlier in the year and now whitey has opted to sign a young staffer over him. Just seems weird that he wants to bring in an eps lock but would rather go to SA to get it.
