Brumbies 2019

[louie]

I'll simply say, on the Reds game, that we were tame in possession and fragile in defence. Missed tackle count may not be high, but you can only miss takles you attempt, and they were finding gaps all over the field. Our offence was non-existant. I want Speight dropped and I want Lilo to be benched in an attempt to spark him back into form.

It seems in OZ rugby we not only play players out of position but coaches too, Laurie is one of the best forwards coaches in the world yet he's looking after our defence. No logic.

ACT Brumbies coach Dan McKellar has conceded he must wing the axe for their clash against the Canterbury Crusaders following a poor loss to the Queensland Reds.
"We’ll review and see what the options are. Changes will certainly be considered, we can’t perform like that and expect that there wouldn’t be changes," McKellar said.
"There are absolutely no excuses there, we had a full week of training, a nine-day turnaround from the Waratahs game, so it was just individual error.

Ask Laurie what he is? He wont tell you that he is a forwards coach.

 

[Braveheart81]

Is there any word on how serious Rory Arnold's injury is?

 

[Brumby Jack]

Darcy Swain signed until end of 2022

 

[Tomikin]

Mann-Rea and Pocock are being sent home from S.A. Bongo with significant damage to his left knee and Pocock's calf's still knackered.

This could probably be the end of Bongo and Super Rugby, but his bounced back before.

 

[Brumby Jack]

If it is a suspected ACL tear for Bongo, that will more than likely be the end which is a real shame.

Does Luke Holmes want a second Brumbies cap?

In reality, what are our options for signing a third hooker? The Gungahlin hooker has had a great start to the season by all accounts, but each team is only two games in.

Who's been playing reserve hooker for the runners ?

 

[RoffsChoice]

TP Luteru

TP Lutetu had one match

 

[RoffsChoice]

Didn't he play Auckland, NSW A, Rebels A and Sydney Uni? The only one I didn't see was Rebels A.

 

[Eyes and Ears]

Luke Holmes has retired. Robbie Abel is playing at Gordon.

 

[Slim 293]

Robbie Abel is playing at Gordon.

And the Rebels.........

 

[RoffsChoice]

Robbie Abel was not wanted, is not wanted, and will not be wanted.

TP Lutetu had one match

Sounds like a goer for the third string Hooker spot, or possibly the other Lonergan..

 

[RoffsChoice]

I finally remembered the name of the guy who started for the Runners when McInerney didn't: Michael Henry. So probably between him and Lutetu.

 

[RebelYell]

Nathan Charles?

 

[Tomikin]

Just don't see the need to go outside the squad with both FF (Folau Fainga'a) and McInerney at the moment, if one of them get injured we may need to look else were for cover, but just to play as the reserve hooker at training. meh
