Players generally lose strength and fitness during a season because of the need to be ready to play each weekend.
Without an off season there is no time to get back the preseason strength.

As a 10 I think so. Also had a lot of injuries from what I hear.

Good signing as we have no idea how CL will go in a return.

Why you say that is he leaving. I asaume the Hewera signing is likely cover for CL. Jooste is still young and coming through.

ATM a poor man's Quade Cooper. Runs like Quade with a bunny skip to start; tries to beat a tackle like Quade (actually QC (Quade Cooper) did beat most tackles, WH just tries); many questionable decisions; not the strongest tackler (though probably better than QC (Quade Cooper)); hit and miss goal kicker.
But he's learning. He came into the Brumbies when they were in a poor situation - To'omua off overseas and Lealiifano struck down with cancer. He has done a passable job, and I hope he is able to build on that over the next couple of years.

Why are they re-signing him? We obviously need to unearth some 5/8 talent to back up Foley and to step in when he is finished. With one of the franchises about to be canned and Lealifano back on deck for 2018 surely they could give that contract to a youngster?

they already have jooste as a youngster, and the Force will only have Lance and Burton available, but the Rebels are losing Debrazcinin and hopefully losing Bachop. They are getting Horwitz but still doesn't leave any appropriate youngsters running around without a contract. From the last few years of Aus u20s, Mcintyre, Deegan, Greene, Mcgregor, Mason, Stewart and Jooste have all had/have contracts. Maybe the Brumbies could grab Greene who is finishing up in Japan after leaving the Reds.
Not the point, he ain't near the best and he will never be that, so what is the point of him?
To me, these kind of units are the metaphor with what is wrong with Aus super rugby. They just add little value being the "back up", that role should be for a young Aus 10 there to learn and develop.

I personally think every team should have 3 x flyhalves or at least 3 guys who can play flyhalf.
1. First choice
2. Development player (usually fresh off u20 campaign)
3. Solid flyhalf option - not a teenager if your first choice goes down, maybe can play another position.
2018 (reds/tahs/brumbies/rebels (imaginary))
1. Quade, Foley, Lealiifano, Lance
2. Stewart, Mason, Jooste, Mcgregor
3. DP, Hegarty, Hawera, Horwitz

guess that's why they need Hawera.

If that's the criteria a lot of players wouldn't be receiving contracts...........
