Brumbies sweat on O'Connor

[BDAVEY]

maybe because he would rather the #12 and he is probs definitely gonna be getting it starting XV.

I dont think hes is doing any favours having these clubs swinging......... surely Robbie Deans will have some say as well, if this is the case he will stay but hes a young kid that will be influenced by his players next to him. Whats he like as person ??
Hoping Browny gets a good run in the coming weeks!!

If he stays here he will be the star backline player. If he goes to Canberra he will be the kid in the shadow.

Someone give him Bianca's number. She may need the company....

What makes you say that he is gone?

Just preparing ourselves

Maybe the ES press. Some of them have drawn that conclusion because he's approached Randwick wanting to play for them. In the same article they reported Elsom and Pocock have done the same. But didn't conclude that either are certainties to play for the Tahs next year. What it probably indicates is that since they will be based in Sydney for Wallaby duties and that Robbie Deans likes to have his players in club rugby, all squad members who don't have Sydney or Brisbane clubs will be looking to join one.

If Peter Grant is not in the Boks team announced tomorrow and signs for us, Rabbit will likely opt to stay on too.

I wonder if James has done a Drew (not that I was privy to any inside info ) and already made the decision just awaiting the "ink to dry"???

My guess....3 years with the Force

You're always privy to inside info, between you and Coach........one of the main reasons this is my default rugby site!

i dont think whatever he does he will sign for more than two years.
world cup in 2011, after it several senior wallabies will move on and there will be an extra team. surely if he plays a good part in the wallabies campaign JOC will be worth alot of money and a bidding war would only do well by him.

if he feels like he is developing well at the force then changing would be a stupid thing to do. if he is comfortable he should stay!

Finally, here's a post I can agree with....James will be looking for a contract to the World Cup, his value will be meteoric by then and he'll peddle his wares to the highest bidder.....hopefully the Force will still compete in that race. Up until then, he needs to find a place to develop, I personally call the Force the best option for that, but really, what I believe is immaterial, it's all about what James believes.... Does anybody have any contacts?

Was or is?

Was or is?

possibly "am"??

[robyn <3]

Grammer never has been my strong point But at least whatever TiF is, it's in the PRESENT tense

[welshrugbyfan]

For my two cents he'll be gone.

Thoughts of a Wallabies career will cloud his judgement and he'll sign with the Tahs or Brumbies.

Hopefully they'll all (as in the 3 pretty boys) have egg on their face when the Force touch them up next year.

The future of Australian rugby is in the West you fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
