Definitely not a terrible result when we're missing at least (confirmed through Rebels only) Sefa, Colby, Engo, Genia, Stirzaker, Parling, Koroibete, Hodge, Maddocks, DHP, RHP, Weeks, Ainsley, Faulkner, Daley, Talakai, Cummins, Hanson, Uelese, Mafi & Timani. That's before youngsters that...

Where are you getting the updates SP, don't see anything from the Rebs. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Head honchos in charge will earn their money constructing the playing lists for 2019, 2020 and beyond. I'm not super sure about a mass exodus back to Perth: undoubtedly the likes of Coleman, Hardwick, the Sauce Bros and a good number of others will and/or should be heading back. The likes of...

Team named for Sunday's game: Melbourne Rebels team v Verblitz: Tom Moloney Brandon Paenga-Amosa Fereti Sa’aga Alex Toolis Sam Jeffries Jock Armstrong Ikapote Tupai Rob Leota (captain) Harrison Goddard Tayler Adams Henry Hutchison David Horwitz Sione Tuipulotu Latu Latunipulu Kitione Ratu...

Quite a few avenues for player recruitment outside the NRC, even if the quality isn't necessarily of the highest standard. Super Rugby Window means it's outside top league window: potential for doubling up. Similar principle for Currie Cup and Mitre 10. I'd imagine a lot of the Drua would be up...

So what's happening in 2018?

Semi's Fiji 7s capped though isn't he? Not any point full stop.

Love ya Shigs

I think: 10. Lance 12. Hodge 22. Horwitz With Horwitz replacing Lance in the 55-65th minute window and Hodge moving into 10 in the majority of games, and Hodge only playing outside 10 & 12 in the event that both DHP & Maddocks are injured. I think that best promotes our needs and Wallaby...

To the chagrin of many, I'd imagine that if an offer emerges it will be from us: with James Hanson on loan at Gloucester, he could theoretically be bought out of/released from his Contract opening salary/roster space for him. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Taking into account the Brumbies have a fantastic stock of locks and backrowers, a full complement of scrum halves and DHP clearly wants to play with his brother, what players have we recruited and/or are rumoured to have recruited that would suit. Of the remainder of the rumoured players...

Players that have left are: Cruze Lomax Metcher Toby Pat Douglas Day Retallick Fox McMahon Schatz Bip Snowden Debreczeni Volavola Garden-Bachop Inman Placid With Moloney, Fou, Jordy and Dom seemingly still around but uncontracted. I would have liked to retain Lomax, Inman, McMahon and Toby...

If you can't be somewhat hyped and upbeat after signing a Wallaby regular 3 months before the season begins after the worst season in our history, when can you be upbeat. VRU, Imperium and Rugby Australia have a fuckload of issues between them, yes. But having quality on field performers with...

We're all very excited Lads, but just another thing: Get yourselves down to Box Hill over the next couple of days. The Masters (Over 35s for those who don't know) are holding the first Rugbyfest: with teams from Queensland, South Australia and New Zealand joining the Melbourne regulars to an...

Working through up to 10 more players: what the hell does that mean? Lance, Hardwick, Meakes, Coleman & Phillip only takes us to fivemore. Optimistically saying players yet to re-sign maybe includes Uelese and Siliva that's 7. What's left? Are we going to bring in Ruru and run with 4...

Come on guys, 1/32 (Don't count Lance because Rebels are yet to formally announce it) straight from the top of the head isn't bad.

32 lads. Forgot Engo. Captain Colby would be my choice at this stage. Not a Front rower or back 3 player, seems to be a natural leader, existing Rebel rather than a new recruit (as much as Genia/Parling/Coleman? are quality leaders I want a previous Rebel)

Up to 10 more sounds crazy. I think Tupou, Uelese and Siliva are technically uncontracted but AFAIK: Hookers: Hanson Siliva Uelese Props: Ainsley Daley Faulkner Sa'aga Talakai Weeks Locks: Cummins Jeffries Parling Toolis Backrowers: Fainga'a Haylett-Petty Leota Mafi Timani Scrum Halves...

Fly half is the only area that's stressing me out for next year. We've got a full complement of Props, Hookers and Scrummies, and outside backs and backrowers are rarely super difficult to find: without knowing exactly where they're at physically/mentally/geographically, Dom & Jordy could...
