I don't understand the concerns about hooker. Leafa, Horie and Sexton are all capable at Super 15 level. On another note, interesting to see Jordy Reid is playing 6 again this weekend for Manly. Could well be the long term position for him with Fugs & Colby battling for 7?

Seems a silly question, but is there any link available to see what other S15 players in Aus are off contract? for example, somebody like Ben Lucas would be a great fit for us in terms of backline cover across key positions we are lacking...

Following the departure of so many players on Friday, I started thinking about how we are looking for next year. Below is the side I have come up with, and I think it looks pretty strong - crucially, it leaves 5 spots on the 35-man roster (not sure how the Super B competition affects squad...

Seriously, the world's worst coach ever? Never has a more ridiculous statement been made... Would like to think that the Rebels seriously considered/did gauge his interest once they decided not to re-sign Hilly... Has a phenomenal provincial record, and while his selections and defensive...

Don't suppose there is any chance of convincing Izzy to move South as marquee down here? Tahs are going to struggle to fit Beale and Izzy under cap and still hold on to the depth they want, and of course he has lived down here before. Pipe dream but you never know...

Just wanted to point out what a great move I think it is for Stirzy to go and play ITM Cup. Great way to improve his game outside of his comfort zone. Big Max Lahiff will be over there as well, would love to see the following guys do the same thing: Situati, Rokobaro, Alo-Emile, Leafa...

I would have thought Robbie would be a shoo-in for one of the Crusaders, Hurricanes or Highlanders roles if they were to come up. In saying that, I know he loves living in Australia and so do his family. I would take Link or Robbie at the Rebels any day of the week, but I personally want to...

Iain Payten reporting on Twitter: James O'Connor signs a 3-year deal with West Harbour Pirates. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, just that he could play Shute Shield for them if he wasn't playing for us; hopefully doesn't mean he is Tahs bound. Really looking forward to watching Colby...

It's gonna be a great day Stu - any help spreading the word amongst the Army would be greatly appreciated! And yes... 4 hour drink package... I have been to a couple of sports lunches at the Leveson, including the Super Bowl, and they go very well indeed...

This is a Lions lunch I'm hosting in Melbourne - confirmed speakers so far are Gareth Delve and Stirling Mortlock. Please share to support, and get your tickets quick!

We're obviously assuming that Davidson, Henderson, Dyer & Ah-Nau are all gone? Are you sure Eddie signed a two year deal? I would love to see us sign five of the six players not renewed thus far, and allow Saff to head overseas to make the most of his post-injury form. He has been sensational...

Agree, I think Rory's last two games have been comfortably his best for the club and he deserves to keep his spot

I disagree on this. Yes, it would have been nice to see more of Shota and it makes it hard for the Rebels to decide whether to offer him a second year, but by all accounts (teammates, independent Shute Shield reviews) Pat Leafa is more than ready to be given the chance. Sexton has been...

My understanding is that he is a loosie, but can play 3 as well. Great to see Jones & English re-sign for 3 years today as well. JOC (James O'Connor) the main one now

Chiefs Australian born prop Toby Smith has signed with the club and hopes to play for the Wallabies.. Great signing!!!

He has been playing well for Sydney Uni and I thought he looked good when he played for us earlier in the season

If not in the 22 against the Stormers, Pat will play for Box Hill this week. Really looking forward to watching him play again

Here's the article on Ged http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/8648428/Rebel-Ged-returns-to-chase-All-Blacks-dream

I think it is great that Ged is going to play ITM, and Max Lahiff. Obviously completely different reasons for doing so. I think Ged wants to prove to an NZ S15 team that he is good enough to be the starting hooker for them, and he certainly hasn't given up on the idea of playing for the All...
