Brumbies 2016

[Brumby Jack]

Now that 2015 is in full swing, it's time to look beyond this season.

To start it off, the Brumbies have today announced that Ita Vaea and Rory Arnold have re-signed until the end of the 2017 season.

 

[Slim 293]

So the Brumbies are doing well on the re-signing front for next year, with White the only big name departure............

Is Pocock the last high profile player yet to sign on?

 

[Brumby Jack]

I think so.

So far they have re-sgined Stephen Moore, Sam Carter, Scott Fardy, Josh Mann-Rea and Tevita Kuridrani.

 

[oztimmay]

According to your fan App Vaea and Arnold have committed for another 2 years.

 

[Brumby Runner]

These are the players I've seen who have signed for 2016 or beyond.

LHP : Sio,

No 2 : Moore, Mann-Rea

THP : Ala'alatoa,

Lock : Carter, Enever, Staniforth, Arnold

No 6 : Fardy,

No 7 :

No 8 : Butler, Vaea

No 9 : Dowsett

No 10 : To'omua,

No 11 : Tomane,

No 12 : Lealiifano, Dargaville

No 13 : Kuridrani, Ah Wong,

No 14 : Speight,

No 15 :

Still a couple of spots missing apparently. Indications are that Taliauli will be offered a new contract soon. Any news on the Smiths, Pocock, Coleman or Mogg?

 

[oztimmay]

Didn't the two Smith boys just become citizens? Fairly good indication they plan to stick around? Are they the new package deal, akin to the Finger twins?

 

[Lindommer]

Isn't Ala'alatoa a LHP ATM? He could make a very competent THP in years to come but that'll take some time.

 

[qwerty51]

No he played the entire u20s at TH.

 

[Brumby Runner]

No he played the entire u20s at TH.

That's correct, but he did come on at LHP against the Cheetahs last weekend.

Poey's settled into Canberra life pretty well, so here's hoping there's enough to make him want to stay and the Brumbies to keep him.

I'd love to see Coleman stay at the club - his form has just continued on from last year and proving to be of much more worth than Mogg. I really don't see the value in retaining Mogg anymore, his flame and well and truly burnt out from his breakout season a couple of years ago.

Who was the number 7 that played for the Vikings in the NRC? He was pretty good - maybe worth looking to sign as a backup for 7.

Is Doyle on a 1 or 2 year deal?

Now THIS looks fairly interesting:

Not sure about the NRC now, but Rowan Perry from Vikings played 7 in last year's U20s. From what I've seen of the two, I'd prefer Perry to Doyle.

It's been said before, and clearly it's not going to happen now, but I
think it's a pity Coleman didn't try switching to 9. He has all the right attributes for a great scrum half.

Cowan is a nasty piece of work who loves to play dirty to rile up the oppo and get them sanctioned. I doubt he'd fit the Brumby ethos but he would fit in fine at the Sharks.

 

[Brumbieman]

What about Prior?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Not really showing enough at the Force to warrant chasing.

 

[mst]

Dargaville signed for another 2 years.

Jake's got Mogg. Montpellier next year.

But you've re-signed Coleman

 

[Brumby Jack]

Monsieur Moggpellier

 

[Slim 293]

It's a shame.........

He's played well the past couple of weeks.........

If he got back to his early 2013 form and worked on his defence he could've been a good test player............ alas...........
