I can only assume with the quality of players running around the John I Dent Cup these days, that maybe one or two Shute Shield clubs might be competitive if they were allowed to join.........

 

[Tah Man]

From all reports Seamus Smith at the Vikings is having a cracking season. Could be an option to replace Fines

Brumbies also have Lachlan Albert on the books, so there's a good chance he'll be bumped up to #3 next year.........

 

[Brumby Jack]

Tom Ross signed on for 2 more years

 

[Brumby Jack]

Jesse Mogg back for 2 years

Jesse Mogg back for 2 years

That’s an odd one. Outside backs isn’t a position you’re lacking and I’d rate Mogg behind most of them if not all. Also he’s 32. Guess he’s coming home cheaply?

 

[Adam84]

Interesting, so does that see Banks shift from fullback to wing?

 

[Brumby Jack]

Wouldn't think so with Wright, Muirhead and Kata there

 

[Wilson]

I think Mogg is probably there as the back up fullback/wing - taking over the role Mack Hansen was filling

 

[MarkJ]

Maybe Wright to spend some time in the midfield? With Kuenzle and Pasitoa leaving we're a bit light on there.

 

[Slim 293]

I assume he's just a direct replacement for Hansen, and probably won't see a lot of game time when Wright, Muirhead, Kata and Banks are all fit.........

 

[Brumbieman]

If he's bulked up a bit and has more confidence in defence he could be a great option. Was always rapid, massive boot and good distribution skills.

'My leg snapped': Brumbies recruit Jesse Mogg back to Canberra after 651-day injury


Doesn't sound like a great incoming player to return on a 2 year deal for a 32 who had nearly 2 years off with a broken leg.

I had the same thought as you did hence the post.

 

[upthereds#!]

Very useful backup

I am surprised he ended up at the Brumbies, the only team with a settled Fullback already....BUT they may have offered him the most/ he may have connections etc etc.

But from a playing minutes point of view, IMO, odd.

Yeah read about it today, wasn't aware of it, but the article suggested its healed up and has been for a while, and he still has some serious pace despite it. I doubt McKeller et al wouldn't have been aware of it in the signing process, and the fact they decided it was a good signing (which the Brumbies have been very good at evaluating over the years) is enough for me. He might not crack the Wallabies again, but unless he's fooled the Brumbies medical staff and bluffed his fitness tests, I think he'll be ok.

Certainly at least on the level of Mack Hansen, whom he's replacing.

Be interesting to see if Jesse Mogg has higher ceiling - pity not joining another side like say rebels given lack to fullback depth across super rugby oz sides

I guess I loved how he use to burn up super rugby, but we shall see maybe he thought if he can oust Banks at the Brumbies its a sure fire way to get a gold jersey..
