Brumbies 2017

Aaron Mauger is now free

Matt To'omua could give Mauger a few tips on what to expect in Brumbieland. he'd be pretty clued up on mauls from Leicester you would expect.

This isn't aimed as a political post, but more a statement of fact. This is a bit of chicken or the egg first stuff.

ACT Government saying if the Brumbies are cut, there'll be no new stadium in Civic if there's only 1 tennant, being the Raiders.

Im beginning to suspect that the Brumbies surprising form, visible team cohesion and playing style are not the work of Bernie, who wasn't around for most of the pre season when the hard work of forming a team and setting standards is done.

The Brumbies are looking very similar to McKellars Vikings teams atm, and as much as I hate the carntz, they playing winning, and RUNNING, rugby.

McKellars NRC team never came close to running rugby in the 2 games they were under him. IIRC the team was so forwards orientated it was ridiculous. It does not bode well if he has to much influence over the team.

Political or not, its not a bad strategy to help push the Brumbies case. I would be interested in the NRL's reaction and those pushing for an A-League team or soccer supporters in general.

Considering the success of the Canberra women's soccer team, and events like the AFC its a big call by the Government but in some respects understandable.

IMHO if it is the Government playing politics, its certainly catch up politics as when they had the chance they put their money on the other horse and missed out on having the Brumbies in the black financially with its supporter base intact if not on the increase.

Eitherway, I hope it helps the cause.

It's probably just a holding pattern situation.

Or, he just wants free piss. You know him better than I, so you'd know the answer.

Maybe Laurie knows something we don't?

Cheltenham Civil Service to be added to Super Rugby after we cut half of the Australian and SA teams.........

I thought you meant a beer cap - like a salary cap

Larkham says he will keep up with the squad rotation policy for the entire season. To me that's a smart move for a young squad. Build depth now while you have that as an excuse.

Already in front of the rest of the Aussie pack so by the time the depth is built they'll have a gulf between them and the rest.

Gee, old mate Spiro, "the world's foremost rugby authority" has got you blokes already hooked into a merger with the Rebels. No doubt the Rebels will be the senior partner because of that private ownership/

Whilst the Brums produce little talent themselves they have produced plenty of absolute champions from young and older guys from Qld and NSW. Dunno why but that's a fact.

Hopefully Australian rugby keeps its 5 franchises but it even appears the ARU has already gone soft-cocked so one will be cut.

Spiro is the Voice

 

[Brumby Jack]

Old and fake news

 

[Slim 293]

Greg Growden, a rugby journalist with a great knowledge of what is being talked about in the closed off world of rugby officialdom, reckons that if Australia is to be allowed only four teams, then the Brumbies franchise should be moved to Melbourne and link up and strengthen the Rebels.

Gold.........

Gold...

Brumbies are safe.
Some may remember it was Growden who announced that the rugby heavies were out to get me because of my posting on here.

If Force gone as being reported, Wessels to coach Brumbies?

I've heard stupider ideas floated around

He's already been here once before and has a young family to relocate, so probably not.
