Brumbies 2015

[Brumby Jack]

Not really related to Brumbies but since others have discussed it here, Ita Vaea may be on his way to Grenoble/Brumbies European side

 

[Forcefield]

The Brumbies will play 2 trial matches in January:
23rd v Force in Perth
31st v Highlanders in Wagga as previously mentioned

Thanks for coming over. About time we had some quality pre-season fixtures.

Will the Force stream the game do you think?

Here's the story on Vaea

[Forcefield]

I have no idea. I'd hope so.

Vaea will need a good time to get back in shape, he looked pretty over his previous playing weight in the NRC. But, good luck to him.

 

[Brumby Jack]

True, but he wasn't able to do any training at all when he was out with the blood clots so that was probably his 'pre-season'

 

[TOCC]

France likes them chubby

 

[Tomikin]

Good luck too him, hopefully get him fit and playing then come back after the WC for a tilt at 2019

 

[Train Without a Station]

Siliva Siliva signed with the Rebels for 2016.

I wonder if the announcement that Moore was staying past 2015 meant Siliva started looking elsewhere?

 

[Train Without a Station]

Surely a factor. Never going to overtake Moore without getting game time and no player grows up wanting to be a reserve provincial hooker.

We just might have to get Pat Leafa back to replace him.

 

[Train Without a Station]

Was thinking the same thing

 

[Brumby Jack]

The Brumbies are announcing something contract related tomorrow - not sure if it's a new signing or extension of an existing player

 

[Tomikin]

Siliva Siliva signed with the Rebels for 2016.

Boo, I thought this might happen with Moore sticking around, I had hoped he would be getting 40 mins a game 2015

 

[Forcefield]

After this season you can probably have Robbie Abel back. He'll end up being replaced by the Ginger Ninja, Harry Scoble, unless Tessman leaves.

Or could we get Nathan Charles back? Seems odd that the Brumbies have supplied so many hookers to other provinces, some when the province was in desperate need because of injuries, but the favour didn't seem to be returned this year when the Brumbies/Vikings finished with none of their top three No 2s.

 

[Paradox]

Bugger was really hoping Siliva would stay

 

[Tomikin]

Can't blame the kid for wanting to go home and looking for game time. we will be alright Moore and Bongo while we train up the next superstar.

It be nice to have the lord here too watch over the forwards development though. The Vikings NRC form didn't give me the confidence in our new Forwards coach.
