Don’t get the wallabies inclusion. I rate him highly but if he has already signed in France are we not better off investing time into someone else?

How do we improve yet go backwards?

So what do we think the starting XV will be next year? Are we likely to improve or go backwards?

To be fair to lose by 26 with the amount of players out is way better than I expected. Good to see some of the young blokes stand up. Tonumaipea was very effective off the bench. Think he will have a good year next year

Good game from the lads

That’s it, they should just keep it simple. If they focus structured rugby they will fall down as all the experienced guys are out. Just focus on the basics, one on one tackles, no one out runners and just let the boys play what’s in front of them on attack. If it doesn’t work that’s fine but I...

End of the day it’s a massive opportunity for the Rebels, nobody expects anything from us and a lot of kids getting exposed through injury. Even if we lose it matters little I just want to see the boys go out and rip in. Prove that they belong in the match day 23 and aren’t just making up the...

What happens if they win by 32 and second and third are tied for wins, bonus points and points difference?

Blatant cheating

This ref has to get stood down, if you ever wonder why Kiwi teams are unbeatable at home just show them this

Then we are just wasting everyone’s time. It can’t be that hard to work out a decent comp as this is garbage. One season one crown one champion that’s it. Like from 2002-06 when no Vic side won it? They shat on about how it would be the death of footy and they were wrong

Just go with a 12 team comp 22 games and play everyone twice. Winning is not meant to be easy, hiding away because we can’t win is not the mindset we need to have if we are ever going to improve. It’s like in the AFL when fans complain about drawing the top sides twice you should want to play...

We can never grow the game with a 5 team comp the provincial model doesn’t allow for us to have BBL style franchises. Super Rugby AU is a stop gap and no more.

Because playing the same 4 sides with 2 games a week and 8 games a year is crap. I watch it because I lover my Melbourne Rebels and Australian rugby more broadly and am not going to walk away but it’s a garbage comp

Super Rugby AU will never succeed in the long term

But a second division is exactly what we need both the NRL and AFL have reserve grade comps. Pro players don’t go back to club footy

The NRC is exactly what we need look at the Brumbies and Reds the stand out teams in Aus they also invested the most into there NRC programs

Well it is an issues ANZAC Day is an obvious fit for a test but we have to be inventive and not try and compete on an already crowded day

The issues is what’s the point of the TT games if you aren’t playing for silverware? If there is no prize on the line what stops the NZ sides from playing weaker sides and focusing on winning their own comp? I like the idea of the ANZAC test but being a Melbourne boy it’s the biggest day of...

I have really enjoyed Stan, the product is way better than Fox for mine. Love the coverage of club rugby, hopefully they get some schoolboy stuff as well.
