Brumbies 2015

[Tomikin]

Robbie will get the gig and on form probably would have anyway

 

[Brumby Runner]

On form? Haven't seen him play 15 for a couple of years, and his form on the wing for the Vikings has been poor imo. I just don't see him as a viable option for 15 when he is someting like 30 - 45 cm shorter than most of the opposition players who will be contesting high balls with him. For evidence, go back and watch the Vikings games where he played on the wing. On every occasion he chased the high kick or kick off, he never contested the balll but (sensibly) waited until the opposition player caught it and then immediately went in to the tackle. That tactic will not work in a defensive situation when he is the only player contesting the high ball at the back.

Robbie's spot is as close to the play as possible where he can use his speed off the mark and defend as soon as his opposite receives the ball.

The Brumbies will be in deep trouble if they don't get hold of a proper, reliable No 15.

One from left field for Full back is Jordan Fulivai

Brumbies have signed James Dargaville on a 2 year contract

Dargaville is a good signing. The majority of the Sydney Uni professionals have "normally" been signed to the Rebels or the Tahs. Good to see their talent pool is being shared around.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Dargaville plays a similar style to McCabe, yeah? If so:
Sio, Siliva, R. Smith, Carter, Fardy, Smiler, Doyle (I want Pocock's knees as far from rugby as they can be until april), Butler, White, To'omua, Tomane, Tatekawa, Kuridrani, Speight, Dargaville should be our lineup in round one.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Umm...Tatekawa is no longer there.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Oh, I hadn't heard That's a real shame.

 

[Slim 293]

Why on earth wouldn't you pick the current Wallaby 12?

 

[RoffsChoice]

My confidence in Lealiifano is low, despite his wonderful performance last night. If he keeps it up on the EOYT, of course I'd pick him. Someone in another thread said that form is the ultimate currency, and his is poor, while Tatekawa's is high (admittedly for Japan, given he got 0 play time with us).

Barking.

 

[Ruggo]

Wow rugby fans have short memories. A bit of bad form and we chuck a player on the scrap heap. Lilo is bloody quality. You Brumby blokes have got to get Bernie to play him at 10 and To'omua at 12.

Personally I think they're both great, but I don't think my word holds much sway with Bernie

After watching the NRC campaign I am a little disappointed Brumbies didn't give local young guns Perry and Powell contracts over Doyle and Dowsett

Year - this is precisely where an unlike button would be handy.

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

Tatekawa?

The guy who couldn't even get a spot on the bench when there was an injury crisis?

 

[Dctarget]

So I've been a long time critic of To'omua playing 10 and CL at 12 for the Brumbies, as I think To'omua should be playing 12 as he does for the Wallabies. But after Saturday's game, I'm not so sure. Do I owe Bernie an apology?

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!
