Hopefully not at the expense of signing someone like McInerney, or a leftover from the Force/Rebels. Abel is hardly Super Rugby standard at the best of times, and his no-look intercepted pass was a big factor in the Canes getting dominance in the QF. Personally, I wouldn't sign him in any circumstances.

Stay in the city somewhere, get an Air BNB in one of the nice apartments somewhere. Take the free bus to and from the stadium. Dress warm (< 5C) or take a hip flask.
Check out the war memorial in the morning if you can, then go into Braddon and have some delicious craft beers @ Bentspoke in the afternoon. Plenty of options in Civic if you want to get a bit rowdy after the game.

I completely disagree.........
When Abel got the opportunity to start when JMR was injured he played very well, and was lucky not to be out first choice hooker after those performances.
Great signing, and I hope to see him get more game time next year.

If we're picking up Folau Fainga'a as well, then I'm really happy with our options at Hooker. Unless a player is generally incompetent, or we're signing a direct upgrade, I'm always happy to see us retaining players.

Conflicting opinions - that's ok. But I've never been impressed by him. I think his lineout throwing is suspect and his general play is uninspiring.

Fainga'a is a good one. Id also look at getting Brandon Paenga-Amosa in the mix.
James Dargaville signed for another year

So in regards to locking in next years squad, it's being reported:
- The Brumbies are searching for two more backs (we haven't re-signed Tom Banks, Kuridrani or Lonergan as yet?), plus some rising stars for the extended squad
- Folau Fainga'a, Matt Lucas, and Lachlan McCaffrey all close to signing contracts
- The Brumbies are searching for two more backs (we haven't re-signed Tom Banks, Kuridrani or Lonergan as yet?), plus some rising stars for the extended squad
- Folau Fainga'a, Matt Lucas, and Lachlan McCaffrey all close to signing contracts
BRUMBIES SIGN FOLAU
That's right, Folau Fainga'a has signed a 1 year EPS deal

IMO Swain was the top U20s lock in the country and must be signed in some fashion by the Brumbies for next year and beyond.

I am worried about our locks next year. Gone from abundance to looking a little thin, one injury and we're in trouble. Will be good to see Enever get a lot more gametime though, I really rate him. Just needs some itchy powder under his nose before a game to get him throwing his weight around a little more.

Our recruting is nowhere near done. Only positions that look "full" are prop, hooker, and wing. If this season's squad is any indication, we should expect another seventeen players involved with the Brumbies next season.

He's contracted to the Brumbies until next year.........
Possible short term loan to get match fitness? Or post 2018 movements?
Probably a short term deal. He had to forego a deal on Japan last year due to his health so may be going as a good will gesture?

Well, with the Force gorne apparently, I think we should throw the sink at Billy Meakes and Naisirani. DHP would be a good option as well.
Classy post, mate.
