Brumbies 2015

[FTS]

Perry and Powell both played much better than Doyle and Dowsett. Powell's service from the back of the ruck is second to none.

I don't really think Dowsett offers too much. Sharp pass but very inconsistent, ineffective kicking and running game and not very flash defence, did well to get plucked from Sydney 2nd grade. Powell seems a much more rounded player, especially in defence where he seems effective and very hard on the ball.

Well it was first game at both super rugby and international level where CL played good at 12. Previously he was best at 10. Its a massive shock. Who knows what to do now!

Play him at 10.


He's finally recovering that form from a couple of years ago, so FFS put him int he 10 jersey NOW!

To'omua stays 12, Kuridrani 13 and we make the Wallaby midfield.

Play him at 10.

Plus Tomane and Speight make up the wings. Oh and since Lilo is in form at 10 he becomes the wallabies 10.

The Brumbies have also signed lock Blake Enever

Looking forward to seeing how James Dargaville comes on. Really looks to have a fair bit of promise.

From the form shown in the NRC, I would be inclined to play Brett Hawke at 15 in Moggy's absence rather than Robbie.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Who is Brett Hawke?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Matt - Brett. Was close. My bad.

 

[Tomikin]

Is he signed?

Enever would've been the 4th or 5th string lock at the Reds, behind Horwill, Simmons, McDuling and maybe O'Donoghue. In 2016 he likely would've been the third string as Horwill and O'Donoghue would likely be gone. Interesting move. Not sure he'd be much higher in the pecking order in the Brumbies, unless Fardy plays blindside.

I'd see him behind Carter, Fardy and Arnold. Staniforth still needs a lot of development imo and Fardy is most likely to stay at 6, so won't surprise me if he is rated No 3 and gets some good time off the bench. Depend if Tim Cree gets a gig with the Brumbies as well. He was very good in the games he played in the NRC.

I thought Dowsett looked good for a rookie scrum half... Give him more time I say

Stephen Moore has signed a one year contract extension taking him through to 2016
