What’s happened to Mafi?

Still would have fucking hurt.

He is having a good enough game at 12. Different style than we have had most season obviously more of a second play maker

Jooste

Just got smoked mid field, huge hit, perfectly legal but fuck he didn’t miss

Fuck poor Flook feel for him

Just poor discipline really from the reds.

We have got some calls back our way

Williams already having a clear impact for the reds

Undoubtedly that is a big problem. The loss of the NRC and the cancelled seasons with covid really hurt the club comp here. You saw a mass exodus of the local products who made up the NRC squad as well as those who were on the fringe. With the loss of that talent the Rebels put their players in...

Literally a product of the Rebels academy and the only one that moved away to start his super rugby career. He also came through at a time where we didn’t have a Storm academy in the state.

That comment just shows you have NFI. The storm provides a pathway to go pro in Melbourne. Every kid in the TAC Cup knows there is a chance they will have to move but the goal for every single one of them is to play professionally in Melbourne. Only kids who have no other offers will stick...

If we want to use an AFL benchmarks we could look at Wayne Jackson in the 90s merge or die. Refusing to support clubs in the heartland while supporting Brisbane Bears pre merge and the Sydney Swans now they dwarf the Reds and Tahs

RA are fools so if we follow your logic the Rebels are here to stay
