So... is anyone heading down early to watch the Colts GF? I was going to, but with the weather the way it is, I'm not so sure now.

6 is an odd one. MMM is gone. Mowen is gone. Don't think we'll see Dennis in a Yellow jersey anytime soon. None of the Reds backrowers deserve it on form. Hoiles won't get it. That leaves: Aluea (sp?) McCalman Higgers Jones Cotrell McMahon Unless Link sees Jones as a like for like backup...

Look, there are still some positives in that line-up. Weir and Horne form a good right/left kicking combination. The other backs are all quite pacy, and should exploit any broken play. It's a strong front row unit, and the Locks are pretty good as well, despite lacking in experience. But...

Maybe this will happen... 15. Hegarty 14. Crawford 13. Ellison 12. Inman 11. English/Kingston/Shipperley 10. Harris 9. Burgess 21. Stirzacker 22. * 23. * * Assorted backs

Scotland Team named. Adam Ashe to start for Scotland before he starts for Glasgow. It's gonna be a long game... 15 Stuart Hogg (Glasgow Warriors) 23 caps, 6 tries, 1 penalty, 33 points 14 Sean Maitland (Glasgow Warriors) 12 caps, 1 try, 5 points 13 Nick De Luca (Biarritz) 42 caps, 1 try, 5...

Just on that note (Full time contracted players). Iff, we were taken over by a private investor, would the squad sizes, and make up apply? Or would we be able to do whatever we wanted within reason.

Beyond perhaps PAE, that's the best squad news in terms of retention possible.

Nah. Its Sharpey.

Shipperley was capped? :eek:

I actually think that TWATS point about Ant being a defensive general is relevant. In the Tahs game this season, our defense was horrifically organised, holes everywhere, no line, no communication. How much of that was the Tahs, how much was it missing our defensive line organizer in Ellison...

Cusiters only 32 or so. He signed a 2 or 3 year deal with Sale. Our halfback stocks haven't been 100% since Lawson and Blair retired, but with Cusiter and Laidlaw moving onto Sale and Gloucester respectively means increased Gametime for Pyrgos, Hart and the current 3rd stringers, off the top of...

Ummm... no... Cusiter is number 1. Laidlaw is number 2. Pyrgos is number 3. Grayson is an awful 4th, that Edinburgh need to find a replacement for.

15. Crawford 14. English 13. Ant Fainga'a 12. Harris 11. Shipperly/Kingston 10. Hegarty 9. Burgess 1. Smith 2. Saia Fainga'a 3. Weeks 4. Neville 5. Jones 6. McMahon 7. Colby Fainga'a 8. Higgers (c) 16. Leafa/Sexton 17. Ah-Nau 18. PAE 19. ??????? 20. Fuglistaller/Timani 21. Stirzacker 22. *...

I think that much like the Reds, I wouldn't mind Saia, don't think we need Ant, but understand they come as a package.

Has anything been confirmed on Lalakai Foketi? Because the French Signing Window's closed now, as far as I'm aware.

So after the Safrican tour then. Awesome.

Just out of curiosity, what happens at the end of the soup season? Are ALL the Rebels players available for their clubs? Or is there limited availability? Mostly asking because I want Meehan playing all the time for mighty Box Hill.

Saffas will be number 2 by 2016. Why? (Just be cool, don't mention that Tyrone Holmes is South African, and definitely don't mention that Josh strauss will qualify on residency 2 days before the world cup of course) The glorious Edinbokke!

Chabal, Dan Parks and Tongan Thor too!
