A Game of the Round would indeed be excellent. Surely there's enough Media/Television/Sports Journalism based courses in Melbourne that you could get the VRU/Rebels/Clubs to partner with one of them.

The fact is you just don't know until you get them into a professional environment. There were people bemoaning the signing of Leone Nakarawa by Glasgow. Not only was he not Scottish, as a 5th string lock, he didn't move till October, when he was meant to be there in preseason. He proved them...

Thursday 6pm we get a replay on C31. Decide for yourself!

If our biggest problem is which local winger is in better form and deserves a starting berth, that bodes well for the season ahead. Within 3 or 4 weeks I think that Naivalu will have claimed the starting spot. But as the poster boy, who's played trial games with the Rebels, and is significantly...

Just on that, Channel 31 (Digital Station 44 I think) is doing a 60 minutes "replay" of the game at 6pm on Thursday, if people want to watch it. In a fully fit backline, we've got 1 starting spot and 2 bench spots. I reckon they go to Naufau, Kamana and Sefa, with the latter 2 fighting it out...

Looking into the future(Japan 2019 and RWC 2023), between Paul Alo-Emile, Ollie Hoskins, and Alan Allaatola you should be fine. Before then, hopefully Kepu, Alexander and Weeks stay fit enough to not have to use Ryan.

McMahon, Foley, Phipps, Gill, Morahan and Coleman all have Sevens experience, and would need to be considered. Are there others I'm missing?

Because Alexander was the incumbent from the EOYT, Kepu was the incumbent from the French series, and Weeks has had a better season than Holmes, both around the ground and at Scrum time, but even he wouldn't get a look in if Sio was fit, or Longbottom wasn't going to Sarries.

Not in time for the World Cup, and that's all he'll care about for now.

Did Byron McGuigan get a contract for Bay of Plenty, or has his downward spiral from ordinary to shit continued?

Nadolo for Halfback.

Isn't Gerrard switching to Tonga too? Would that stuff anything up? Either way, would be a great signing.

Yeah, but Kuridranis acceleration reminds me of Ma'afa. Topline speed, yeah, that's pretty good, but he doesn't hit the gaps or the man at the pace that a Basteraud, or a Nonu does.

With no links to any Sydney side, Perth and Canberra only selecting locals and Queensland setting up one way gates, it's not overly surprising he ended up back down here. On the Allocation, I thought Wallabies were included, there was an article about the rays implying they'd get 4 Wallabies...

Leafa Sexton Smith Ah-Nau Alo-Emile Neville Jeffries Jones Higgers Timani McMahon Stirzaker Meehan Debreczeni Inman English Veaniu I count 17, plus Placid.

Meehan v Stirzaker is 6 of one, half dozen of the other. From what I've seen, Ben gives you a very pacey game, and is probably the better outright Box kick. Whereas Nic's general kicking and technical game is better, while also being the slightly better defender. Both of them need to be...

And Benny Meehan is the final player. Gives us 17 Soup players (winning!) and shores up that area. http://melbournerebels.com.au/news/article/ben-meehan-completes-rising-squad

Mr Ma'afu playing for Fiji 7s gives me the giggles.
