As I said in the Brumbies 2013 tread, IMHO this is all bulldust. It sells the papers and get people to read online. What is the source of this information? Nothing is sourced. I doubt Pocock would say anything before season end anyway. I doubt very much that Pocock leaving would be the end of...

Nah, Rocky..... we're getting Rocky again and sending Mowen back to the Tahs..........

If Hodgson was out of contract, I would probably pick him instead. Great work rate, lower profile, he just fits the new Brumbies mold better.

Agree

If Pocock leaves, the Force will survive, and maybe even do better like the Reds after Barnes left. All this talk, however, is only balone stirred up by those who don't want Pocock to go to the Brumbies, and hope the Force will respond by offering Pocock $1m a year. What is the source of this...

no sign of Peter Hewat either

(right on cue......) How would you feel about Bryce Lawrence (didn't the Reds win last year's GF with him).

If I was to respond in kind, I would point my finger at the Aus Conference table - but then, putting the opposition down before the match betrays lack of confidence in one's own team really. Words = zero.

Good news for the Brumbies obviously, and for those who'll watch the match. However, it would not have been a disaster if hooper was out. As shown previously this season, when other important players were out, the Brumbies' strenght is in the system of play more than in individual feats. The...

Hope you're right MS..................... would be awesome to play hooper & colby to double-barrell Gill & Robinson, although I suspect Jake will field only one of them anyway........

Yes, I agree. He should get four weeks.

Holmes proved to be an excellent recruitment for the Brumbies. IMHO, many of the young Brumbies have improved out of sight, and will be possibly targeted by other franchises. However, many of them are playing great rugby because the current Brumbies style of play allows them to do so - e.g. they...

Lots of funnies over the weather. I rate Holmes, I think he will do well. At least he'll have an opportunity to prove himself.

Winning is NZ is very difficult for a number of reasons (including the sometime different refs' interpretation of scrum & breakdown plays). Good decision to go with Holmes, saw him playing a few minutes vs the Sharks (or Highlanders?) and he really impressed me - good decision making under...

My comment was about taking the views of one or more supporters of a particular franchise as representative of that franchise's support base. The particular passage was Injuries don't matter Injuries do matter. All S15 have them, some more some less, and they affect team performances...

Thanks. Great post. Could've been written yesterday. Sadly for Tahs supporters, no much has changed. Generalising does not help.

agree - becames just like a job in the office, nothing to prove. Instinct would suggest get rid of the lot, but it takes courage to do that, rather than avoid risks and perpetuate mediocrity.

Why do the Tahs consistently fail to fulfill expectations year after year, even if their playing roster includes many wallabies and they represent one of the largest rugby talent pools in the country? Is it "soft" coaching (e.g. inability to bench out-of-form stars and take hard decisions)? Is...

Woud not underestimate the Chiefs. Won nine on the trot after all.

google it maybe.....?,
