Pretty sure Sione isn't playing this year


Thanks Lads...thats interesting regarding Sione. What I was largely inquiring of Macka about however, was the "bit of an exodus" part, particularly in view of Vikings lack of recruitment discussed earlier.

From the Vikings Website:

MDP-Vikings-98-0I7A0720-300x200.jpg


This morning the Brumbies announced their squad to take on the Australian Barbarians this Saturday (January 28th) at Viking Park.

The Brumbies side will feature six players who have worn the Tuggeranong Vikings jumper at the club level, these players are:

9. Joe Powell
22. Jordan Jackson-Hope
25. Jarrad Butler
26. Ben Hyne
27. Ryan Lonergan
28. Isaac Thompson

On the other side of the field, three Vikings have been named to play for the Australian Barbarians. These players are:

12. Andrew Robinson

18. Phil Kite
19. Dean Oakman-Hunt

On behalf of everyone here at the Tuggeranong Vikings rugby club, we would like to wish these players all the best.
If you would like to come down and support the boys’ kickoff is at 6 pm and entry is free for all Vikings and Brumbies members ($10 without a membership)

Being a Brisbanite just wondering whether it was the Tuggeranong Vikings that Tim Sampson coached last year. Is Sambo link with the Brumbies? What role with the Brumbies?

I also note a Brisbane link to the following players listed above:
Jarrad Butler - TSS & Easts Bne;
Ben Hyne - Brothers??
Isaac Thompson - Qld Uni??
Phil Kite - GPS.

In fact Butler(Easts) v Kite(GPS) in QPR GF 2013 & Sampson Assistant Coach of Easts.

Sambo is the Head Coach at Tuggeranong Vikings and was an assistant coach for the Canberra Vikings last year, no position with the Brumbies as far as I am aware

Mayhew would be a good pick up.

In Qbyn I believe, Southern Districts are no longer coming down to play Royals which is a bit disappointing.

Yeah that is a bugger..Anyone aware if Royals are able to organize a substitute trial with another club at short notice ? Did Southern districts offer any reason for pulling out...short on numbers, couldn't organize a bus, double booked, got travel sick???

Thanks Lads.thats interesting regarding Sione. What I was largely inquiring of Macka about however, was the "bit of an exodus" part, particularly in view of Vikings lack of recruitment discussed earlier.

I think things have changed a little since my comment. I think a lot of blokes toyed with retirement but have since changed their mind. It was my understanding that Sione was going to retire By the looks he's since changed his mind or I misunderstood. Phil Kite has been down to training but I think it's just for fitness before he goes back to NZ. I know that McGrath has taken on the rugby manager role so I don't know what that means for his playing prospects. Only notable losses are Jake Rakic and Gareth Clouston.

They've got some good colts front rowers who I'm sure will be given time throughout the year. But if the three blokes above do end up playing all year it'll certainly be tough for those young bloke to get meaningful minutes, presumably with McGrath coming off the bench.

Thanks macka. I assume Clouston may have hung up the boots but bit of a surprise re Rakic...any idea where he is heading?
