Bam to Brumbies?

No serious developments as yet but Apparently Poey has agreed to talks with the Brums. Obviously it'd be a great win for them from a player point of view but I can't really see it happening given that Mowen is the new captain in the Berra and Pocock is the new captain in Perth.

The Brumbies are a team on the up, though, and the Force are in the shit so it might be worth keeping an eye on.

D'oh just saw this in the Brums 2013 thread, sorry mods!

Try to keep up, Jnor.

I think he should stay in Perth for the Force's sake.

Who, Jnor? I thought a slap on the wrist for not paying attention was justified but I don't know about banishment. In any case I don't know how much use he would be to the Force.
.

Geez Bruce give me some credit, I'm sure the Force would love to have someone else who knows what a 10 and head coach are. I'd be happy to do both, for a price.

I dont think being captain would make a difference at all in this situation, would you rather play for the All Balcks or be captain of Japan? He will move to get better at Rugby under a South African coach (pretty good with forwards!) and to have a shot at a title.

I dont see the captaincy as being an issue at all, do you get paid more for the captaincy?

And in Adelaide, news has just arrived that the Wallabies won the World Cup..in 1999!

I'm waiting for mudskipper to start a new thread.

Maybe just your own room when on tour.

I'm pretty certain that Captains do get paid more

would be terrible for the Force, but would be amazing for the Brumbies (or any other team tha signs him). At first I thought it was just rumours and silly speculation. but after thinking about it. i can see White a fellow South Africian would have a great relationship with Pocock. Could happen.. but still skeptical.

White is a South African and Pocock is from Zimbabwe, like 'The Beast' from the Shorks.

The one thing that might get in the way of all this is Pocock's charity work back in Zimbabwe. Being in Canberra would add another 5-6 hours on any one way trip there.

There have been reports that Jake White has said he would use his South African connections to help Bams charity work in Zimbabwe. Plus being in Canberra close to the Federal Politicians could open doors to leverage some funding for his charity. All good points. I still think he will stay with the Force but if he did move it would be a very black day and the Force could almost board the place up and close down. Poey is a drawcard..the Force just need to get the rest of the organisation moving in the same direction (thats forward..not backwards)

he will be closer to the AIS as well, maybe they can help him grow more muscle in his arms

Given everything we know about Pocock being a man of great principles (like not getting married until his gay friends can also marry), I think he would have a hard time leaving the Force knowing how much of a hole they would be in without him.

Providing the Force give him a good offer to stay, I think he would turn down going to a better team for the chance to stay and help the team he has always played for.

I wonder how many single males have picked up on that as a commitment avoidance strategy.
.

I tried it but my girlfriend didn't buy it.

The only thing less successful was promising to get married when the Tahs won a Super Rugby title.

Or when a SAffer ref gives a penalty try to an Oz side against a SA team.

Thing No 1 the Force needs is a World Class coach, even more important than Pocock staying.
