My first reaction to the announcement of Moore's departure was great disappointment but on reflection I am not really concerned. I have great respect for him as a player and a gentleman and the Brumbies are fortunate to have had his services for several years.
As wamberal says, if Moore wants to return to Queensland to finish his career, he's earned that right (although I'm a bit surprised that he's not taking the opportunity to chase the money in Europe for a couple of years).
The Brumbies have always had a good track record in bringing on young players. Moore is in the twilight of his career and his departure creates an opportunity for a younger guy to step up.
