Brumbies 2020

[RugbyReg]

there's a good highlights video of him online where he runs through some gaps and passes the ball sometimes.

Large emphasis on sometimes.

League centres aren't signed on their distribution games, Brumbies will have to develop this.

Kata is basically Laumape at the same point in his re-transition to rugby. Lots of potential but a lot of work to be done.

Jeez, I'll cop that.

^ gotta remember that Kata was a Warrior for some time so he'll take longer to re-program than Laumape.

Although it is a relatively infrequent occurrence, the Brumbies have had a deal of success remoulding League players into Union players at the highest levels.

Joe Tomane, Jesse Mogg, Tom Wright (in process). Probably a couple of others. Kata will probably find he has a whole lot of help in making the grade in his return to the game.

Did a solid job on Joe Tomane, but Jesse Mogg was hardly a league player to start with

Perhaps confused him with former Raiders and QLD origin player Adam Mogg?

Peter Ryan was the best one.

 

[Uh huh]

Andrew Walker surely.

Gordon Falcon?

Tom Wright is going great guns in Canberra (would not surprise me to see him get a test cap next year) but he wasn’t really in League for that long as a senior pro.

 

[Number 7]

Andrew Walker surely.

Not sure I would call Andrew Walker a leaguie first. I played Rugby against him when he was 16 when he played for Shoalhaven club before he went to Randwick in '91. Best junior rugby player I ever saw.

I seem to recall that he played for the Broncos. Is that not correct?

He played one year of under 20s at the Broncos. He played rugby before and after that.

I guess it is probably more accurate to say that the Broncos failed to convert a rugby union player to league.

Yeah to be fair I think he always played both (still plays league AFAIK).

I ran into him after the Brumbies' loss at Lang Park earlier this year. He was decked out head to toe in his Brumbies training gear from his last appearance at the Brisbane 10s. Still clearly loves the Brumbies, and was filthy about the way Simone and Kuridrani had played.

Loveliest bloke you could hope to meet.

A lot of backs play both codes and keep their options open. Wright played NSW schools at fullback via St Joseph's but had already signed with Manly. Rumour was that's why he didn't get picked for Schoolboys. Pigs are a different matter and are less likely to switch between codes

 

[Brumby Jack]

Reports in the DT that the Brumbies have signed Billy Pollard on a 4 year deal.

 

[Slim 293]

If that's the case we've got quite a succession of young hookers on the books.........
