Where is Speight mentioned on the Brumbies website? I cant seem to find any record of him.
Also I believe Timani has signed a dev contract with the Waratahs. I guess he is trying to do a Fava and play for everyone.
When did Waqa go to Parramatta as he was at Gordon this year. Does anyone rate him? He has played mostly second grade in the Shute Shield after a promising schoolboys and 19s start.

The Brumbies are yet to update their website.
Speight is definitely in the squad which will bring that list on the site to 30, plus there is also a prop from NZ who is also not mentioned on the site.
They are yet to finalise the final rookie spot.
Not sure how many they plan for the final squad but by the way it is looking it will probably be 32 or 33.

I wouldn't hold your breath on the Brumbies website, they are notoriously slow updating things. Yeah Gordon sounds more like it
Went there in '09... but BP has said on the previous page that he has taken up his missionary since and won't be available for a few years
Ahh ............. The trick is that his name appears to be Pama Fou and played wing for Souths

ok, I am pretty sure I saw him play a game v Gold Coast earlier this year, when Quade played half and tore them up.
He scored a couple, and looked capable I guess. Lanky for sure. Elusive - reasonably. Pretty sure he also had three tries scored down his wing, albeit two from intercepts.

Very elusive but very Raw winger, still has a lot of defensive issues that comes with his lack of experience but should get better with time. I still rate a player like Aufaga Lafaele who played with Royals and Easts who was probably the premier winger in the comp a few seasons back. But obviously selectors think otherwise, but I like the look of this Pama Fou.
In response to Lily re; Waqa Vulawalu, he has had a lot of injury problems which has curtailed his progress ie Torn Bicep of Bone, Broken Ankle, Forearm and minor ones. But from reports in Sydney he started finding his feet again in the back end of this season with Gordon, fellow players saying he as back to his playing weight when he was in Aust U19/20 contention. I rate him, could be something different if he gets fit and injury free.

Also, maybe if your interested in Club Rugby in Canberra, keep an eye out for new recruits coming into the region from both within and outside Brumbies Academy, players of note obvoiusly Pama Fou but also Kelemedi Vosuga from Souths Bris both joining Vikings, Elvis Levi thought to be joining Gunghalin, Tom Pelo (ex Sydney Roosters u20) joining Royals.
Do any of you know of any other recruits coming into the Comp?

What about young Crooke - is he going to play in local comp or cannot if he is in top tier of Academy

you would expect young Crook to play in the Canberra comp, but I would be unsure as to who he will go to, due to the Brumbies Development staff being coaches at club level too, I would expect either Uni Norths or Gungahlin as have been in the past.....last year, most Academy players went to these two clubs with the exception of Lesa who went to Royals so I wouldnt expect any different. I know Royals have recruited well for next year including an established NPC player.
I am surprised though the Royals halfback Scott Patterson isnt in any Brumbies Squad, he was recognised by most coaches in the comp as the best halfback in Canberra, even had Andy Friend going down to a few of his games just to watch him. Maybe injured. Unsure, anyone can shed some light?

Are you forgetting Nic White? He was head and shoulders above the other halves, and was elevated straight into the 2011 Brumbies senior squad as a result.

James Turner from Brisbane Souths also joining Vikings, while taking up a position in the Brumbies Academy. Karl Manning from Gold Coast was joining Vikings, but returned up north shortly after arriving. Does anybody know where Spreight will play his club footy?

He is only in the general academy and not the pro-academy and I think you will find Crooky is signed with Gungalin

He was elevated due to his performances from last season and this season with U20s, I think you will see that in games played, Royals vs Whites, even though Whites won both games, Patterson was more dominant, in fact most games, Patterson was dominant Halfback, hence why most coaches in the comp except Whites coach of course rated Patterson as the best Halfback in the comp. The oil on Patterson is that he has had Shoulder Surgery and is out till March next year, was offered Tier 1 but declined due to operation on Shoulder.
