I would have thought RUPA would be unlikely to object in the instance that a franchise provided an additional professional spot assuming the minimum wage levels were met. The agreement between the ARU and Melbourne Rebels would be more important in this regard. My understanding is that salary...

Saw these on a merchandise site advertised as the 2016 Rebels and Force home jerseys.

Haven't seen these launched via the Rebels or BLK yet, but on fangear.com they are showing 2016 rebels gear: Warmup top Jersey Media Polo I am a big fan of the warmup top. Jersey appears to be no change apart from the loss of Rabodirect. EDIT: They also have the Force gear on there...

Was trying to quote TOCC's post from the last page but failed. Rebels are really predominant white/grey these days due to the sort of triple hoop arrangement going on and the red sleeves. It's almost been a like for like swap in terms of predominant colours between the Rebs and Brums between...

I wondered the same thing about a year ago. Seemed to coincide with him starting to wear glasses on tv.

Are you suggesting we go with all six back three players for this one - maybe drop out the loose forwards?:p

Funny it never bothered him when he signed Sonny Bill.

As long as their is sufficient parking available at Quins it makes sense apart from the Frankston game. Realistically for large parts of Melbourne this is a third regional game, and I would see the balance at two regional, two in Melbourne as right.

It is nice to see if nothing else we have gained a degree of respect that we didn't command in padt years.

Don't know if it has been mentioned in this thread previously, but The Age down here are reporting that AFL contracts run to end October, and that on that basis any WADA sanctions stemming from a conviction, or admission of guilt, would need to be instigated by the AFL. Ban for supply of drugs...

Guevara safe on wing - Amin was a second rower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin

Daz - you forgot to mention the Bye's form. Has been a lean couple of years since the introduction of Rebels, who are the only team to have taken four points off the Bye every time they have matched up. An impressive record for a team finding its way in Super Rugby. The Bye has cracking early...

I can't find a link, but Luke Jones made the front section of the Herald Sun today along with a nice big colour photo - trying out as a runway model for Myer. According to the article he walks quite well for a beginner.

One of the lippier blokes at work is a Pom who has been out here for about six months and will be playing for Hammersmith and Fulham which was his old club side in the UK. Might have to head down and see if the Powerhouse boys can shut him up a bit.

The Precinct definitely are no footy colours, along with the GB and possibly the Swan. The London dont have a problem with them, and pretty sure the Corner don't either.

It's nights like tonight I love how long an AFL game is. Won't have to be trying to leave AAMI at the same time as 70,000 Collingwood ferals. Unless Sydney are pumping them and they all start filing out just after half time that is.

Fair call. Upon review of a few old threads, it seems I may have been a touch off the mark with that comparison.

I would be appreciative if Lachie Mitchell was retained. Sure he is never going to be an absolute superstar of the competition, and he has his shortcomings, but his passion and effort are the sort of thing you need around a club. I imagine he is the type of guy who has massive respect from his...

But what time does the 60 minute fade-out happen if we increase the warm-up intensity? Seriously though, it seems we can play 60 minutes tops - last year it was the last 60, this year the first 60, apart from playing the middle 60 against the Crusaders and the last 60 last week. These things...

I'm not sure he is a good fit for the club. "He has a bigger problem than his contract and that's his conduct," Carmichael said. It is understood the 34-Test winger was involved in an altercation with Regatta staff when they refused to admit him bare-chested to a restaurant at the well-known...
