After watching him run around for Eastwood I don't mind that signing at all.

Played second row for Eastwood - assume 6 would be groomed for though

Gee whiz the signings are hit and miss.

 

[Forcefield]

Pulu is a good fit for us on the wing. Can't see the reasoning behind McCauley- hoping to be proven wrong on that one. That said, my favourite Wallaby of the last few years, Scott Fardy, joined the Force at the same age. I didn't think much of him back then, but look at what he turned into.

 

[Rebels3]

Pulu is a good signing for a year or two.

McCauley is barely SS level from the games I have seen him play at that level.

Solid squad overall

Solid squad overall

Pulu good signing for both - gives force quality winger and for pulu more likely game time given 3 quality other wingers brumbies have

Good to see the WF give Ryan McCauley a chance to develop in a different environment. locks are notorious late developers. Stocks of talks are down on Oz at the moment so have no issue with this WF selection.

True enough. Van Humphries, Harrison, Wallace-Harrison, Fardy, Kimlin all relatively late to the party when compared to the locks the reds produce.

In the UK its very common for Locks to slog it out in lower leagues before hitting there straps

Seems like a good confirmation of the previous rumours.

Thats a good signing

 

[upthereds#!]

Big young lock Grant is leaving. Where to I wonder? Or was he just no good?

 

[Adam84]

Happy to see McIntyre home, could be a bit of a Jono Lance type player. Offering that experienced depth at 5/8.

Peter Kimlin?

I figure as much. You wouldn't recruit Ryan McCauley if Grant was any good. Either that or he's chasing game time.

 

[thierry dusautoir]

Peter Kimlin?

Yep, was in the brumbies system for a while but in my opinion didn't really stamp himself till post 2011.

First capped by the Brumbies in 2007, Wallaby tourist in 2008, capped in 2009.........

Spent most of his career here injured, until Jake White took over in 2012 and finally got some consistent playing time in his last two years.
