Rebels 2018

[Rebelsfan]

i never expected them to be world beaters, the opening three games had me very pleasantly surprised. what i had hoped for over the last 5 games is some general improvement and elimination of the repetitive mistakes, i've not seen any of that, which is my biggest concern. i think the Rebels probably are one of the top two sides in Australia, which unfortunately isn't saying much at all. i think all the Australian super side will struggle from now to beat an OS team this year and i include the Sunwolves in that.

and that is the biggest disappointment of all, that we are no longer internationally competitive at the elite level

Didn’t see that one coming.

Didn’t see that one coming.

Nor did most Reds fans I can assure you, but very pleased to be proven wrong.

Nathan Charles on a mid season signing. Most likely injury cover for Jordan.

Solid signing.

 

[GoMelbRebels]

Could do worse.

I know Mafi only signed a year extension, but has it been confirmed where he is going after 2018?

I'd imagine he would head to the Sunwolves. WE could have only signed him for 2018, and I think the JRFU are trying to bring all their OS talent back home, in time for RWC 2019. Michael Leitch is one example t hat comes to mind.

Is there no loophole where we can keep him a Rebel, make him a wallaby and even make him Lord Mayor of Melbourne.
I can adopt him if it will help.

Secede from the Monarchy and declare Mafi Emperor?

[brokendown]

I thought Lomax was always going to leave and try to play for the darkness?

I think that's true cis every club he was at gave him the world

No, nothing. You got a source for that?

There is meant to be a positive announcement soon regarding the ongoing sustainability of the Rebels, but Wessels wouldn’t make that announcement.

No, he wouldn’t. Would be a govt announcement, considering it’s an election year. Haven’t seen any press to indicate that an announcement is forthcoming.

Fair enough, let’s see how the day pans out.
