Think Sione and Erasmus had a great 10s tournament - bit more mobile and abrassive one on one. Big lads who can accelerate into conntact and swing their arms around

Brumbies team for the trial match v the Chiefs has been announced. McCaffery appears to have won the first battle to sub for Pocock during his injury holiday. Not a surprise after his strong performance against the Rebels.
A very large bench which will see probably all the main squad get game time. Missing from the 10s are McInerny, Lonergan, Verity-Am, Erasmus, Allen, Sione and JJH; maybe one or two others. Surprised Sione isn't getting a run.
Still no sign of Ben Hyne? Injured?

Seems that but havent heard much watched the game didn't see him go down..Jeez we're a passionate bunch.
Valetini sounds crocked properly, any word?
Suspected MCL - up to 3 mths. Waiting on scans to confirm.Jeez we're a passionate bunch.

How do they assign seats guessing for the members they get their seat at there game.. It's a great idea to work with them instead of against them specially in CanberraBrumbies have just announced a reciprocal deal with the Raiders for their members.
If both teams have home games on the same weekend the members get free entry into the other codes game.
Pretty sweet.

It might not be a guarenteed success, but we've seen the positive impact it had when the Knights and the Jets had their friendly period in Newcastle, and, likewise, the Titans and the Suns on the Gold Coast. The best news, though, is that this is a sign of a friendlier, more diplomatic boardroom than we saw in 2015 and 2016.
Fantastic news.
It will be tough for the Brumbies board to sell this as they try to cover off (and fend off the obvious criticism) that the Brumbies first home game is scheduled at the same time as one of Canberra's biggest annual events; Skyfire! Final weekend of the balloon spectacular which closes off 3 weekends in a row of events including Enlighten.
Compounding the issue is its against the Sharks which never draws a good crowd then in to a bye week.
Sadly, the "sign of a friendlier, more diplomatic boardroom" maybe more likely one of desperation and necessity trying to get supporters back.
We can only hope the on field performances are both entertaining and get the results as its the best hope at bring back the supporters.
Interesting that the haven't also promoted the 1st Home SuperW game which kicks off at about 5pm.
