Brumbies 2017

[Brumby Runner]

Yeah, maybe they would.
But to fit them in the 2 better performed players whose place they would take,would also probably have elected to take the better money on offer o/s.

Will Genia did. Arguable that Phipps was ever any better than Nic White.

Absolutely.. as I recall White had a few poor kicking games and got put aside... He was there as an option if Leoliifano became the Wallabies flyhalf but Cheks stuck with what he knew, Foley...

All apart of the complete 2 two team theory... But cant win battles without cannons...

Lealiifano's Stats....
WALLABIES 19 caps and 124 points
BRUMBIES 117 caps and 803 points

Foley's Stats:
WALLABIES 41 caps and 404 points
WARATAHS 77 caps and 622 points

Giteau:
WALLABIES 103 caps and 698 points
BRUMBIES 67 caps and 458 points
FORCE: 37 caps and 296 points

Q.Cooper
WALLABIES 67 caps and 154 points
REDS 108 caps and 792 points

Dan.Carter (NZ)
ALL BLACKS 112 caps and 1,598 points
CRUSADERS 141 caps and 1,708 points

Amazing stats from Carter... And we wonder why its so hard...

Apologies stats good now

All those stats are based on whether they are a kicker. How is that a key stat? Not all 10s kick, and not all 10s need to score tries.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Coincidence or error that both CLL and MG have the same number of games and points scored for the Brumbies?

ATT: Brumbies. Please contact Pat Sio ASAP. Good chance he will be available for 2018 with Racing and Stade merging.

Sorry didnt have that info but yes not all 10s kick, Mortlock at the Brumbies kicked mostly not Giteau. Quade kicked mostly for the Reds...
But Foley kicker and Carter kicked day and night..

Looks like Wayne Smith pulled his finger out and wrote a useful article...

When the professional era began, and SANZAR was formed, the rugby world watched in envy as the three nations that had dominated the World Cup to that point played each other each week.

Initially, NZ demanded six of the 12 places, with South Africa having four and Australia limited to just Queensland and NSW. But News Corporation, which was bankrolling the venture, dug in and the Brumbies were formed. What a triumph that was. In their first nine years they won two titles and were runners-up three times.

Does anyone know when the Fianga twins will be back and available for selection?

Foley wasn't kicking in his first year, so that stat is a bit skewed. It's actually a pretty flawed metric. Kicking percentage is a better measure, provided they aren't just brought up for the long-distance kicks (ie- Kurtley Beale, Nic White).

Its not a kicking measure its just points scored...

From http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rug...ort-leukaemia-foundation-20170315-guyg08.html

The Brumbies are also set to be bolstered when Saia and Anthony Fainga'a return to training on Thursday after being granted leave to be with their families after their father, Saia Senior, died last month.
Saia and Anthony won't be in selection contention this week, but their experience and presence will help the new-look Brumbies prepare for the biggest match of their season.

Not to mention CLL missed selections because he would either get injured immediately before or immediately after the beginning of test season.. little to do with coach bias when your leg is fucked or you're taking a nap on the pitch 30 seconds into a test.

Also, I heard from a bloke that has a mate whose brother in law works with the sister of a guy that overheard someone say they’ll cut a team at some point...

 

[mst]

Yeah, nah. I heard on twitter, that on Facebook someone had seen a whatsapp conversation of a snapchat saying they saw a report from a reliable source but on a site away from the main stream to keep it out of view of the public. It was on some weird fetish site, gagging in gold or something; anyways, it was definitely going to be a merger. Brumbitahs! Home ground in Campbelltown!

 

[Alex Sharpe]

How sweet. A win over the 'tahs in Sydney is a beauty of a result. Forget the peripheral SANZAAR rubish and enjoy what rugby should be enjoyed for.

 

[mudskipper]

Best part was "Man Of the Match went to Hooper"... I don't know why the Tahs do such silly PR things, the Tahs fans in the stands around me just laughed when they announced is name and put up his picture on the big screen... I know he is a good guy too... The player on the field that made a difference last night was Henry Speight

 

[Brumby Runner]

Hooper the new Robshaw (was it?)?

 

[MarkJ]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the man of the match at Bruce is always a Brumby. I think it's a sponsor thing given to the best home team player

 

[Brumby Runner]

Maybe right. It does look odd though, doesn't it, no matter where the game is being played.
