It seems the good news for us Brumbies re signing both Alexander and Moore has been offset by the loss of Palmer to Grenoble in top 14 in France.

If this is the case, expect to see a lot more of Benny A at tight head this super season, which in the long run may be a good thing leading into the lions

The website quoted is usually pretty accurate, and giving Grenobles meteoric rise in the top 14, the need to consolidate - and the strong brumbies flavour already there, it seems likely.
As per the Canberra Times photo today, I'd expect to see a Murphy, Moore, Alexander front row become the norm - with Palmer on the bench.
Jake Whites view on the matter would be interesting - by all looks the Brumbies look good heading into the next few seasons.

It seems strange that Palmer would make a decision to go to Europe now.
Surely waiting a few months to see how likely he is to be a Wallaby this year would be worthwhile.

Sully's right. This rumour has been floating about for sometime now. I'm sure I read it on the boards here a few months ago.
It would be a shame to see Palmer go to France, I do hope this rumour is untrue and he stays with the Brumbies.

The word is he won't be be getting much, or any, of an ARU top up which means he won't be getting as much as he could if he went to France/Europe where tight head props would be like a pig in shit.
The fact Robbie persists with the Alexander at TH at Wallabies whilst mostly playing LH for the Brumbies should be a concern for Palmer's future.
I'm sure that when he went to Grenoble during his time off and spoke to 3 former Brumbies players there, they would have given it rave reviews.

Hmm thats disappointing, but you cant expect every player who displays wallaby potential to earn a ARU Top-up.. If he decided to stick to it for a couple more years and proven his ability, then he might have earned an ARU top-up.

He could have the right to ask the ARU why Folau got money?

If Palmer leaves due to limited ARU top up when we just gave a big top up to Folau in a position where we have plenty of cover, shows the ARU have got it all stuffed up.
We are desperately short on TH props and may be letting one of our best prospects leave.

It's a shame he got injured after the Scotland test. He would almost certainly have moved several places up the pecking order if he'd stayed fit.
