Phil Mooney.

He's been a great coach so far and better than all these other coaches we've had especially Eddie Jones.

Coopers just gotta play well this year and not f*** up big time like hes done for the past two years.

My very rough predictions for next years Brumbies squad...

1. Alexander
2. Moore
3. Shepherdson
4. Kimlin
5. Chisholm
6. Chapman
7. G Smith
8. Hoiles
9. Holmes
10. Lealiifano
11. Ashley-Cooper
12. T Smith
13. Mortlock ©
14. Rathbone
15. Gerrard

16. Ulugia
17. Maafu
18. Campbell (?)
19. Salvi
20. Phibbs
21. Fairbanks
22. Fainifo

23. Edmonds
24. Henderson
25. Timani
26. Hand
27. Toomua
28. Afeaki
29. Taumopeau
30. Beham


I'm not sure if Alister Campbell has signed on for next year. The Brumbies have made a couple of lock signings in the off season, and Kimlin and Chisholm would definitely be our premier lock partnership.

I don't know if Beham is still in the squad. He didn't play a single game in his first year with the club. Afeaki wasn't an initial squad member but was brought in when Mortlock, Ashley-Cooper and Faingaa were all injured. He's been excellent in the Shute Shield.

The biggest signing is obviously Stephen Moore. He'll strengthen the set pieces. And hopefully Andy Friend can spark some excitement in the backline.[/b]

I forgot to include Alfi Mafi in there. I would assume he'd figure in the 22 squad somewhere.

Also, the Brumbies have just signed Sydney University players Jerry Yanuyanutawa (prop) and Nathan Charles (hooker).

[Woldog]

QLD has the correct line up for the Reds I think, Rodney Davis will hopefully be half as good as Chris Latham.
Pity we lost most of our good players, Clinton Schifcofske and David Croft, and we now have to rely on crappy players like Quade Cooper who's sole attacking play consists of an air step and rolling out of oncoming tackles.

 

[bates]

Well I can't wait to see some new games

The NBA season started yesterday as well, so it's couchpotato time once more
