Fair enough I suppose, though I would have thought that the Vikings would take Fardy in a heartbeat..

Agree to disagree. Played at night, under lights, on fast, dry decks. Would be great to watch and great for fans. If it works for the A-League, why not Rugby? If it's really hot, introduce breaks at 1/4 time...

Would love to see a 6-2 split with TK missing out. Saw Simmons live on GC last weekend and while he didn't have a standout game, he never stopped running and showed great leadership. I have no issue with his selection. What I am more disappointed about is the fact that Fardy and Douglas...

The peak TV ratings season doesn't seem to be working out all that well for Rugby, if you hadn't noticed, particularly as we don't have a FTA presence (including even rating a mention on FTA news!)

My two cents; we should move to their calendar. September - December: Super Rugby January - March: NRC January - March: TRC April - August: Club Rugby (Super Rugby players can feature in July as part of their pre-season) Only thing I don't know is where you play Tests against Northern Hemisphere...

Cracking player; did a Rebels pre-season in 2014/2015 as well so the coaching staff are familiar with him. Good shout. He didn't screw up his chance at all; in the same vein as Hegarty, his contract offer was not reflective of his place in the team in terms of both length and remuneration...

You've signed up to GAGR just to tell us this; you must know more?

That was the best I have ever seen Jeffo play; hit hard and carried well, as well as being super reliable at the lineout. Pat Leafa also very busy, couple of pilfers and threw pretty well (plus a try)

Cam will either take an option overseas (he is fielding offers) or retire, unfortunately.

And her name is?!?!

I'm not sure I'm sorry. With Lopeti, I would hope it is because he is wearing a Gold jersey this weekend!

Toby, English, Colby & Shipperley all missing week 1, expected to return with the first 2-3 weeks of the competition

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure Vole & Douglas both picked up injuries in the DS Grand Final which have ruled them out of the tournament

Nobody think Mitch Inman could be a stopgap 12 on the EOST, or Ant Fainga'a? Neither will be the playmaker 12 we're after, but they also wouldn't let anybody down and would allow the likes of Hodge and Godwin to be steadily introduced to test rugby off the bench. Unpopular opinion I'm sure...

I don't understand Mumm over Timani. Fardy being dropped to the bench actually covers lineout caller and/or extra lock. It's the perfect opportunity to unleash LT

I still reckon Horne a great option for a 6/2 split.

The lack of coverage, even on the Rebels social media and website, was disgraceful.

I think that there would be a genuine chance of Timani replacing Mumm as the lock/backrow cover on the bench if Cheika goes with a 6-2 split (which he may well do) to take advantage of the utility cover provided by Giteau, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Folau and Horne. I really like the look of your starting side...

I actually think using the NRC teams for an 8-team summer 7s comp could be good, helps to build their branding as well...
