Moore sticks with undecided Brumbies

10 March 2009 | johnboy

The Brumbies have announced that their star hooker Stephen Moore has decided that he likes it so much here, after just three matches, that he’s going to stay put to 2011.

In other news the much anticipated team announcement has been delayed another day.

There’s a lot of speculation that the centres experiment is at an end with Tyrone Smith to return to inside centre, Mortlock to outside, and Rathbone to sit on the bench.

Also Julian Salvi is rumoured to possibly be a victim of the need to bulk up the pack for taking on the hated NSW Waratahs in the match of the season this Friday night.

It’s face-painting time! Send in your pictures of painted Brumby faces to images@region.com.au for your chance to win deathless glory along with the team.

smith at 12 mortlock at 13 ashley cooper (two dads) to the wing rathbone to the bench gerard at 15 is the best,also you could out gene fairbanks at 12.

Moore is the key to our forwards im glade he has resigned, he seems to be the only 2 in any of the aussie sides that can consistantly throw the ball in straight. he aslo adds at scum time, the penalty try last week was a pretty good sign of what our pack can do with him invovled.

I also think they shuld start with ben alexander at loose head, why does our Aussie rep prop start from the bench, he seems to have added size and strength over henderson who he has been replaceing each game.

Mortlock back in the number 13 is the only way to go, it’s silly to have him at inside centre I reckon. Mind you…the rumoured shift of Gerrard to wing & Ashley-Cooper to fullback seems a bit odd….Gerard has been about their only functioning back so far this season, moving him is a gamble in my opinion. Tyrone Smith has been solid when on the field & deserves a starting lineup chance.
