Brumbies 2015

This is the silliest thing I have ever read on here. Make it your signature.

Maybe this should be your signature next year. In the end, we both don't know.

Where do people see young Butler next year, does he move to the back of the scrum, with a backrow of Fardy, Pocock, Butler ? I have watched all of the games this year but don't think Ive seen him jump ? Does he jump ?

 

[Train Without a Station]

He does but he was always a 4th jumper at the Reds.

What about Fotu though?

I will take that bet.

Fit and firing Futo I see as a big impact player.. either starts or comes off the bench.. means Fardy to the second row..

Is Weatton signed for next year ?

A number of the EPS and fringe Super players have been re-signed. Any news on the likes of Whetton, McCaffrey, Hoffman, Dowsett, Cronje, Tatakawa or van der Walt?

 

[Tomikin]

I actually really wanted to see the pass master Tatakawa play this year his you tube stuff looked great..

If his not a realistic jumper I suspect we will have to play Fardy in the backrow.. Can't go in with only two jumpers

It actually makes sense for players to leave 1 year out from a WC. Since everyone leaves after a RWC there's a massive influx of talent available to clubs and your value would go down significantly - better to get in early and that's what Mowen, Douglas, Pyle, Longbottom etc. have done.

my initial point and post exactly on the "Exodus thread"

Leon Power off to Oyonnax in France on a 2 year deal

 

[hammertimethere]

Butler can jump, he and Enever used to really run a cracking line out up here at Easts. I think there is another Easts boy down there looking for a gig in Michael Stolberg who's pretty bloody good. If Whetton is ready to go into the 23 constantly Stolly would be a good pick up to fill the slot vacated by Power

Looks like Tomane will stay

Joe Tomane officially staying in Canberra.


Unsure yet whether a new beanie will form part of his contract.

Great to see him staying for another two years!

Not that Brumbies supporters will agree, but reckon Fisher would've been a good option for the Rebels HC position last year.

BRUMBIES director of coaching Laurie Fisher will leave Canberra at the end of the Super Rugby season to become the head coach of English club Gloucester.​

BRUMBIES director of coaching Laurie Fisher will leave Canberra at the end of the Super Rugby season to become the head coach of English club Gloucester.​

​

Fisher will work under former Ireland Test five-eighth David Humphreys, who is Gloucester’s director of rugby.​

​

It will be the second time Fisher has left the Brumbies to pursue coaching opportunities overseas.​

​

Fisher was the Brumbies forwards coach under David Nucifora when they won the last of their three Super Rugby titles in 2004.​

​

He then became the first Canberra-born coach to coach the Brumbies, guiding them for four years from 2005 to 2008.​

​

During this time the Brumbies failed to reach the play-offs and they decided not to renew Fisher’s contract.​

​

Fisher was appointed forwards coach of Irish province Munster in 2008 and remained in Limerick until 2011, where he worked with current Melbourne Rebels coach Tony McGahan.​

​

Highly regarded for his technical knowledge of the game, Fisher returned to Canberra in 2012 as the Brumbies forwards coach under South African Jake White.​

​

While White received most of the credit for turning the Brumbies around, Fisher and then backs coach Stephen Larkham did much of the hands-on coaching of the team and were also integral to the side reaching the Super Rugby final last year.​

Dan Palmer heading back to the Brumbies?

Dan Palmer heading back to the Brumbies?

Yeah, but just as a stepping stone to the Wallabies. He has been sorely missed these last couple of years. But seriously, Ben Alexander has been coaching the scrum this year anyway, I believe. Maybe a playing/coaching role for next year?
