What's more likely to happen is James Slipper takes an intercept pass on the try line, runs the full length of the field, fends off 8 tackles on the way, grubbed in the last 10m that totally bamboozles woody and he scores under the sticks. For good measure he converts the try to seal the game...

Outside back is his best position. Think he wasn't the strongest playmaker.

Interesting the article talks about an injury to Max. Don't think I've seen that on any of the injury reports posted by the club (I could be wrong). Might explain that period of absence from the Rebels pine and Dewar shield.

Cruz Ah-Nau extends contract until 2015 http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/news/article/ah-nau-signs-new-rebels-contract Edit: whoops, didn't see Swing's post. Mybad.

Your plan for watching the game sounds delightful and a fair upgrade from mine. In amongst trying to convince the younglings that it is really bedtime, explaining all the rules/decisions to mrs oz in detail, removing the 20kg 'lap dog' from my prized position on the couch and hoping foxtel play...

Tough life for some :)

You are super quick. I just got the newsletter!

Team

According to IG the team will be announced at 5pm

I'd start him and look to move with Veainu (if fit) or Rokobaro onto the bench.

I'm not just talking about captaincy, I'm talking about a place in the team. Hooper might be able to do it this year, but who's to say Poey gets his groove back and returns to the 2011 form. It's like anything in this game I guess - nothing is certain and we won't know until it happens. I bet...

Questions until pocock is fit again.

That really hasn't changed since my playing days at school. My old school did manage to win a premiership, but then scotch stole the coach and Rugby went all downhill from there. I reckon the club standard was better at the under 18 level, but this was mid 90's . Don't know what it's like...

fixed.

And this is not a too dissimilar story for the Rebels vs 'Canes match. It was relatively close in the first half (we had the lead up until the 37th min). After the break the first 20min was a cavalcade of confusing penalties and Rebel brain farts that resulted in a number of 3 pointers and...

That's the big unknown at this stage. That question should be resolved first, out of respect for him.

If we cant't decide between Barnes or Harris, could we make bold bid for both?

Injured, ankle again sadly. Probably 5 - 6 weeks. Apparently he doesn't like the name 'ranga'; being a fellow ranga I find this strange and I embrace my ranga-ness (albeit diminishing). I've gone with the name 'little red', with complements with the name 'big red' that I've given to Sam...
