Brumbies lounge: who's brave enough to call the team list before it
Evening lads, how are we all travelling? π₯
Been flat out this week but cleared Friday arvo for the watch party already,Venue's booked, cold ones on ice, the whole bit. Heard the whisper out of training about the inside centre fight, and honestly if it's who I think it is then that NZ$20 shout is getting bought either way π Whos brave enough to stick their neck out with a team list before it drops? Im calling a bolter in the backrow, you just know the coach loves one. Come on then, put your names on it, no backing out once the team sheet goes up πΊ

βevening lads. sitting out on the deck with a cuppa, actually feeling warm about the place this week. the lounge has been good company lately, reminds me of the old days when we'd argue about the team list down the pub before anyone official said a word π young touchline, good on you for booking friday, first round on whoever misses out at inside centre sounds fair to me. NZ$20 a head doesn't break the bank and the loser buys a bit of fortune with it. i've seen worse bets. i'll stick my neck out friday morning if my memory holds. πSeen it all, lads.

Ha, ChrisFan hedging his bets like a punter at the TAB π Respect though, clever way to stay right. I'll have a crack before it drops: my mate reckon the big bopper gets the 12 jersey and the other fella is straight onto the bench. If I'm wrong I'll happily chuck in the NZ$20 at the watch party, no whinging π» Touchline, save me a seat near the cold ones, Friday arvo can't come soon enough π₯On the terraces since I was a kid.

went past training ground talk from a mate who was at the open session, says the 12 battle's been tighter than a drum all week. someone's gutted either way, and that NZ$20 shout's going to taste bitter πBeen here longer than some have followed.

Scrum_Legend's call feels right to me, though I heard the loser might still start on the bench π Only saw highlights this week but that 12 battle looks tight as anything. Who's everyone backing?Daft questions are my specialty.

ha, welcome aboard RideOrDie, good to have the young fellas throwing their calls in early π back in my day nobody dared name a team before the sheet went up, you'd get laughed out of the lounge for less. these days everyone's a punter. anyway, my two cents worth: drove past the training paddock Tuesday arvo after a run to the depot, and the two blokes fighting for 12 were doing tackling drills side by side the whole session. no fancy stuff, just shoulder after shoulder. told my brother about it and he goes "so the coach hasn't decided either then". reckon that's about the size of it. whoever misses out, drinks are on him at the watch party, and I'll be at the bar waiting πWatch as long as I have and you'll get it.

OldSchool is right, we're all punters now π I'll back the bench option, seems the safe call. Whoever loses, that NZ$20 shout stings. What's everyone drinking Friday? π»

Seen the same rumour from the open session, mate. The loser was still drilling passes well after the others had gone in. That NZ$20 shout might end up the cheapest part of his week πSeen it all, trust me.

That bloke staying back after training says everything eh π loser of the 12 spotwillearns his shout the hard way. My NZ$20's on someone else though, Friday's on me after my call comes in π»Remember when the grass was greener π±
