Brumbies to move to Melbourne.
Question is do the Brumbies want JO'C?
Can't see them keeping all of the talented players coming through should they go after him
Yep. If the cards fell that way, I'd much rather Holmes back than JOC.

He wont go to the Brumbies, you have Jake White with the NO NONSENSE attitude, something that JOC couldn't get his head around who is still a professional rugby player with a teenager attitude that its "ME AND ME ONLY".
I would like Holmes and Oconnor. We are so close to having a really good side. We just need a couple of players that can make a difference. Give the attack an edge. These two definitely do that.

O'Connor hasn't done much lately for there to be a reason to need him in any team. Yes he burst onto the scene in an overhyped way but he is not a game changing must have. He doesn't change games through individual brilliance or make the players around him better. He is still the arrogant little knob he was when he came here as a 17 year old. Right now i'm not even sure he's the 4th best fullback in Australia. Mogg, Mafi and Folau are playing much better rugby at the moment. I doubt he'll even be a Wallaby in a years time.
Not so sure about that NTT. JOC is a quality rugby player, regardless of his lack of off field quality. I think he's been badly advised by his management in his off field life and contracts. He definitely makes a difference to any team he plays in. I think the Wallabies could of used him last year.

Even I have to disagree with you there NTT Judas is a hell of a player, elusive and quick runner, solid defense and he'll take anybody on. As for making the players around him better, he does as long as the other players know their place, clean out, or run lines off him being tackled to grab the offload. He will ALWAYS take it to the line and expect to get through, other players are secondary in his mind.
He's an arse, but he deserves a Wallaby call up. The top 12s in oz would be
Judas
Kyle
Toomua
Tapuaii
Nobody from the Tahs (let's face it, Tom Carter was in the mix until a couple of weeks ago)
I would put judas at 1 or 2 in that list. I would have all 4 in the squad and probably pick three to hang around. Kyle will get a look at Wallabies, but the match day players will be Judas and Taps, I'm not convinced Kyle is better than Matty Toomua yet....injuries might play a part.
no chance JO'C would go to the Brumbies, it's clear how South African Coaches treat people who don't do their homework
:lolup:
