Brumbies 2020

After seeing all the buzz about Bankwest Stadium in Sydney - not a single complaint, almost across the board rave reviews - $340 million.

Surely an exact replica is being tendered for right now in Canberra? Built on the public pool in Civic (move that somewhere nearby) a 5 minute walk from the CBD.

Construction time was barely over 2 years.

Keep food and booze prices reasonable and give good options - get those pop up burger joints in Braddon to man the stalls (well, provide the recipe anyway) and Bent Stoke/Wig and Pen for the booze.

Ticket prices and memberships are already lowered, and with the roof on even the coldest Canberra night would be fine in there - jobs, crowds, support plus Concerts (acoustics are apparently outstanding) etc.

We could even host a Wallabies game for a change!

Only if it doesn't get Federal funding ahead of the Gabba redevelopment!

Otherwise looks good. ;)

I would've thought an exact replica of the Dunedin stadium on the pool site in Civic would be the way to go. Canberra is bloody cold in the middle of winter, an enclosed stadium has so many advantages for the Brumbies, Raiders and a possible soccer side.

That's what they have been looking at I believe in the past.

Yeah, reckon a 'house of pane' would be the go.

Some snow in the joint yesterday

Yeah Canberra needs an enclosed stadium, although Super Rugby shifting to summer months should help things a bit

Reesjan Pasitoa named on bench in GPS Team of the Year, Syris Schmidt(TSS) took honours of starting 5/8

I saw that, looks like the entire starting side is TSS/BBC so I am not sure how reflective it is. But it does seem as though Reesjan had a down year and came back to the bunch. Its also sounds like there was alot of good 10s in the comp this year.

The Reds should sign the 9, Kalani.

I think Reejan had a diffeent season off the back of Aus18's plus shoulder surgery I believe. Pretty sure he was ready to leave school in about term 2 and will kick up a gear when in a professional environment in 2020.

Very talented individual but a few years away. Again another brilliant long term recruitment decisions by the Brumbies.

Who is their recruitment manager?

BGS v IGS (R2) first time I've seen him play live. Easily the best player on the field that day. He actually go better when Walker went off.
