Grumbles rumours

[travelling_gerry]

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.
* Sydney clubs are again restless about lack of media promotion, and now have their own man to spread the word.

Holmes coming
The Waratahs have secured halfback Josh Holmes, as R&M revealed last week. Intriguingly, the Brumbies tried to make it appear as if they did not want him. But it appears Holmes was the one they were keen to keep. After Holmes rejected a deal from the Brumbies, they chased him and offered a late, late deal, which he also rejected to go to NSW. They then offered Patrick Phibbs a one-year deal.


Tatts gold
David Campese was on fire at the Rugby Club this week. Campo was asked: "What is the greatest contribution rugby league has made to rugby in Australia?" His reply: "Tattoos!"

This bit is absolute gold:


The wit of 'Whit'

This columnist was one of those fortunate to have had the late Bill Whittaker as a journalistic mentor. "Whit" delighted in providing advice to newspaper newcomers, including the importance of accuracy, research, a thorough contact book, working the phones, a strong work ethic and standing up for yourself.



Talk about two contrary sentences in a row!! You can't have been paying much attention to your mentor Grumbles!

But I thought no one ever wants to leave Brumby land

The Lions will probably play their last game with Eugene Eloff as their Super14 coach when they run out against the Waratahs on Friday night.
Liam Del Carme writes that Eloff, however, does not want to be drawn into dialogue about his future but rumours suggest that he will be the Western Force’s assistant coach next year
