it is the courage to continue that counts.

A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

I don't think Haig Sare plans to play Super 14/15 rugby next season because his partner is pregnant, he was saying in an article he wants to put his family first, do we think he will be a loss?
Chris O'Young is retiring next season but I think we are well covered in half backs.
Luke Jones is off to the Melbourne Rebels.
I think Richard Stanford is off to Honda Heat where Tai McIssac is coaching the forwards.
I'm not sure how Ryan Tyrell is after his operation.
David Hill will return to Toshiba in Japan at the conclusion of the season.
I think Andre Pretorius has signed with a Japanes rugby team.
Not sure where Jono Jenkin's stands, whether he was just a short term replacement or not.
Cameron Shepherd and Staniforth not sure where they stand but it'd be good if they could stay.
In summary hopefully we keep the nucleus of the squad with Shepherd, Staniforth, Harris and Charles resigning and hopefully purchasing a quality 10.
Also read that James Hilgendorf has been release again by another team, this time Kobe in Japan after 1 year of a 2 year deal and Kinetsu also released him after 1 year of a 2 year deal. He doesn't seem to be doing to well over there.
Also read that Stefano Hunt is playing club rugby in Sydney for Southern Districts, I think he was sitting on the bench for reserve grade and first grade, with Josh Gamgee and Josh Tatupu and Rob Horne from the tahs and Brackin Henry from the Brumbies and Marshall Milroy I'm not sure where he fits in and whether he will get much game time.
Also I was quite please with the game against the Lions, the whole 21 players played well (JOC) didn't get on the field. Again Charles, Turner, McCalman and Harris played well from the bench.
Also my favourite player is actually Matt Hodgson, bumped into at the airport once and came across as a really good guy.
sare is no loss. lets bring back Hilgendorf!!!!. definitely very welcome back here!
i thought pretorious wanted to hang around next year so if you're right, then thats not what i expected. stanford going? i guess coz he stands behind hocko and wykesy? although i do rate stanford.

Only comment would be to make a distinction between re-signing and resigning - had me worried there for a bit!
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
Hilgendorf would be great if we could get him. He can play 10 and did well there in the first season with the Force. Its what we need too, with Hill and Pretorius moving on.
How old is Jimmy now? 29ish?
Some of teh Brumby fans over at planet rugby seem to think he has signed a 2 year deal.
Lets hope so!
