I think this seems just about right. My understanding was that English and Aholeilei were only on one-year deals, and Situati two... Could very well be wrong though. Really appreciate the help with this

Can anybody give me a run down of who is out of contract at season's end? Obviously I know Delve, JOC (James O'Connor), Beale, Ged, Hendo, Shota (and Fanga + Kingi), but would be great if somebody with a better memory than me could provide a summary of the whole squad and when they are signed until. Much...

I think that Hegarty and Roberts both have the ability to get there, but will take time. Roko can play 10 as well.

Cruze travelled to Christchurch with the team as cover

This is correct. And this is the scribe (maybe)

Burgess will be very good, sad to see Fanga go but plenty to like about Stirzy...

I personally think that, just two games into the season, we shouldn't be writing people off, planning to replace them next season or casting judgement on missing tackles. Just my opinion

Yep, Angus Roberts very impressive at 10 and Pat Leafa led the way for the forwards

Mate of mine thought KB (Kurtley Beale) & JOC (James O'Connor) seemed to call the shots at penalty time ahead of Delvey.. I personally didn't notice it, but perhaps it is related?

Sidey was sensational in Geelong, and showed a lot more attacking threat than I would have expected. He and Inman are a very solid pairing and know each other's games inside out. I agree that the wings look a little light, but without Woodward & Super Coop we are a little short of options. At...

Team announced. Strong lineup: 1. Nic Henderson 2. Ged Robisnon 3. Laurie Weeks 4. Hugh Pyle 5. Cadeyrn Neville 6. Luke Jones 7. Scott Fuglistaller 8. Gareth Delve 9. Nick Phipps 10. Kurtley Beale 11. Lachlan Mitchell 12. Rory Sidey 13. Mitch Inman 14. Alex Rokobaro 15. James O'Connor...

IMO, with Vuna & Situati out, this could be an interesting approach (in terms of picking best possible squad) 9 - Phipps 10 - roberts 11 - O'Connor 12 - Sidey 13 - Inman 14 - Mitchell 15 - Beale 20 - Stirzaker 21 - English 22 - Hegarty/Rokobaro

Pleasure to chat to, hope he gets his chance and proves it was worth the wait!

Where do you see Kingi fitting in if fit?

Only that I haven't heard anything to suggest this.. I interviewed him just before Christmas and he said that everything was looking good for a return http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/News/ArticleDetails/tabid/270/ArticleID/8186/Default.aspx

Pat has been dominating in training, and has been super impresssive

Live chat with Gareth Delve on the Rebels website today at 12:15pm... Should be a good opp to ask some questions about pre-season!

I'm really surprised nobody else seems to have Rory Sidey in their starting 15, and in some cases in their 22. I think he is a quality signing, should work well with Inman and JOC (James O'Connor) having played together at the Force, and brings some try-scoring form to the team as well. My understanding is...

I agree with this for sure - he has to be the playmaker. I see our first choice line-up as : 1 - Henderon 2 - Robinson 3 - Weeks 4 - Neville 5 - Pyle 6 - Higginbotham 7 - Saffy 8 - Delve 9 - Phipps 10 - Beale 11 - Vuna 12 - Sidey 13 - Inman 14 - O'Connor 15 - Woodward 16 - Leafa 17 -...

Thanks mate really appreciate it. Hope both Hodson & Tyrrell get another shot at Super Rugby some time soon
