Banks got 1.4 million a season to go to Japan, yeah he gave up the world cup for that, Sio was an outside chance of making it to RWC23Damn that is a huge loss of talent. So, Banks & Sio are giving up on RWC23?
Banks was firming as favourite for starting fullback in France for a world cup, shame.Banks got 1.4 million a season to go to Japan, yeah he gave up the world cup for that, Sio was an outside chance of making it to RWC23
Yeah it's been known for a while he's off at the end of the year, and they throw the kitchen sink at him.Banks was firming as favourite for starting fullback in France for a world cup, shame.

Hopefully the Force????Wheres Sio off to?
Makes sense. He's been in good form but will always get rotated with Slipper. If he wants a tilt at the WC he might see starting for the Force all the time his best chance of getting in goldHopefully the Force????
Pure speculation from me
This forum would go into Meltdown if Rennie used one of his 3 picks to bring back Banks... I hope it happens.Hard to knock back $2.8m, the git law has changed so much over the last 2 years it may tweek again for the RWC. Take the money chance your self to be 1 of the 3 & prey like hell Kerevi signs a futures contract with Rugby Australia
Could go to QLD, where he would start as well, and play with TupouMakes sense. He's been in good form but will always get rotated with Slipper. If he wants a tilt at the WC he might see starting for the Force all the time his best chance of getting in gold
Yeah, I bought this up in the Reds thread. If he's chasing a world cup spot QLD is probably his best bet, otherwise it's likely England or Japan for money.Could go to QLD, where he would start as well, and play with Tupou
Why do you think that? He isn't a contentious player, just a bit 'meh' and hasn't taken his opportunities at test level when offered.This forum would go into Meltdown if Rennie used one of his 3 picks to bring back Banks... I hope it happens.

Really....Why do you think that? He isn't a contentious player, just a bit 'meh' and hasn't taken his opportunities at test level when offered.
If he is brought back, which i doubt, I'd assume its because one(or a few) of the other leading candidates to return is out injured.
That's a bit of talent shifting on.Brumbies confirm Banks, Fainga’a, Simone and Sio all departing this year…
For 1.4m banks should not give a shit as frankly he was never quite the unanimous choice for fullback as never quite convincing…take the 1.4m and run for the hills I say.Banks was firming as favourite for starting fullback in France for a world cup, shame.
Completely agree - if going to lose Sio would rather it be to another oz franchise then overseas. Be good pickup for the force who desperately need more props (oh and locks, centres etc)…Hopefully the Force????
Pure speculation from me
The 2023 brums back line is prob the most under discussed topic going around
What happens at 12, does Len move in, does Husdon get a crack, does Bernie chase someone from outside?
Does Tom Wright go to FB or does Jesse Mogg get it.
Is this a great time to get Corey Toole in?
The back 5 has been very very solid this year & there is going to be some big holes to fill. I will never write the brums off but its a big re generation with the 4 leaving plus the coach.
