McGahan was far and away our worst coach. I was shocked when Stirzaker was named captain before 2016 particularly when he was injured. I thought Sean McMahon was the obvious captain. I have to agree re: Stirzaker replacing Meehan when he came back from injury. I was a fan of Meehan given he...

You may well say "what could have been" but PAE played 50 games for the Rebels.

Quirky stat: Tom Sexton and Mick Snowden both played 5 matches for the Rebels but never played at the same venue. Tom Sexton played at Westpac Stadium, Allianz Stadium, AAMI Park, Suncorp Stadium and DHL Newlands. Mick Snowden played at Loftus Versfeld, AAMI Park, Forsyth Barr Stadium, Kings...

Andrew Kellaway and Cabous Eloff have played 49 matches for the Rebels and Brad Wilkin has played 48 matches for the Rebels. So I would expect Kellaway to make it to 50 games but both Eloff and Wilkin to be stranded on 49 games.

No, had some players in like Higgers and McMahon but couldn't fit them all in. Will post my best 23 later in the week.

I thought I would do something different. To celebrate our 14 seasons I thought I would list my 14 favourite (not our best) players: 1 Gareth Delve 2 Marika Koroibete 3 Reece Hodge 4 Sefanaia Naivalu 5 Tom English 6 Cabous Eloff 7 Tamati Ellison 8 Andrew Kellaway 9 Colby Fainga'a 10...

Couldn't get on the park unfortunately. When we signed him I thought he would be Tamati Ellison 2.0.

KevinO was thinking the same thing the other day re: when Hill was in charge.

Parling also played for British and Irish Lions.

Can't believe I forgot about Richard Hardwick playing for Namibia.

There are a number of other countries represented, some were capped prior to playing at the Rebels: All Blacks (Lomax played for the All Blacks after playing for the Rebels. A number of All Blacks played for NZ before playing with the Rebels); Ireland (Jamie Hagan) Wales (Gareth Delve and Dom...

So does that mean KevinO is correct? - "I don't believe they hid it for 4 years."

"Usually after a halftime speech,"which is funny because last season we were good for 50 or 60 minutes and then dropped off the cliff.
