Sydney exodus

[Boomer]

Dear chaps, chapettes,

Any inside dirt on this from The SMH's Ruck n Maul on Friday?

The Silver-backed gorilla Growden reckons we're on the way to swiping a tonne of Sydney talent because a Tah's man is headed this way to coach.

Any names?


Rumours of the week

* A group of talented Sydney club players are seriously considering heading to the Western Force. That is certain to happen if someone with strong Waratahs player links, as expected, joins the Force's coaching staff.

matt burke?? as a coach, not a player? although i'd be willing to welcome him as a player!

Grumbles is playing with you guys... TG said on another post that the mystery man is Todd Louden who was an assistant to Link last year, however he is now in Japan coaching... Todd Louden is a good coach but is really head coach material... and wants that role…Its possible he comes as assistant to take over in 2011 and Mitchell move on…

Its only time until Louden gets a head coach gig in Australia he is well respected amongst players and administrators…. Nevertheless he may need to pick up a little more experience OS like Andy Friend did Japan UK then OZ….

I doubt we'd see any committment from Louden (or maybe anyone) before clarity is provided on the fifteenth franchise...

Hopefully Burke stays at the Tahs so he can help Mitchell develop his kicking game...
