Harrison Goddard has signed on, great move by him
Brumbies 2024
- Thread starter RugbyReg
- Start date
Agent
Billy Sheehan (19)
Yes probably a very smart move by Goddard. I suspect Lonergan will start next year but I think if anyone can bring the best out of Goddard it will probably be the Brums who are a bit like the Melb Storm and make a habit of making 50/50 players into very solid players.

I still think there is a genuine top line Halfback there. Big, quick and a very good kicking game.
Hope its not a Josh Holmes 2.0 situation that we just never see the click over from youth/club to the professional game.
Good signing by the Brumbies though to protect themselves from being reliant on purely a kid as your backup. Goddard would have seen the wraps on Wilson at the Tahs and Whites move to the Force and knows he can get week in week out Super Rugby in the best team in the country.

Reimer and Debreczini also in the mix to start.
Wilson
Phil Kearns (64)
Good to see, that's a great chance for him to get a bit more professional game time in. For all the potential he has, Pollard has probably been a bit short of a run the last few years.

He looked every bit ready to get a chance when the times right. Unlike other U20s forwards who show the ability but not yet the physical development he has both I reckon.

Beauty of having Van Nek, Schoup behind Slipper, AAA. They can still bring Massimo through properly.

Good for him. We still need to find two squad/wider squad locks, especially if Tom Hooper is going to move to the backrow given Samu's exit.
There isn't much around though, although ex-ACT lads Zane Marlot and Will Stankey have been released recently by Tahs/Force.
Toby McPherson from U20 is another option but doesn't seem physically ready.

Don't sweat the small things we have 3 Wallaby locks before we need Tom Hooper and we gave a debut to Sam Thomson from Warringah maybe Josh Townsend from Queanbeyan. Also Lachie Hooper. Whilst the Backrow has Kennedy, Brown, Reimer, Scott, Cale and Valetini.

Nope... De Lutiis just signed for the Reds.
What’s a suitable maniacal laugh gif?

Van Nek and Kautai, who both had plenty of game time this year with AAA's injuries...
I see Van Nek has yet to re-sign, but I would assume he's in line for a big year with AAA out and being called up to one of Eddie's training squads.
