    Rebels 2023

    The big problem as I see it is that we are seeing the same issues year in year out. No real game plan in attack, if anyone can tell me what our plan is I would be amazed. We have a leaky defense due to more missed tackles than any other side. Every game this year except the first game against...

    Rebels 2022

    Absolute garbage piece he has written, the Rebels didn't need to stop the Highlanders scoring a bonus point. The Force should have gone harder to secure an extra bonus point somewhere in the season for themselves and then it would have been a moot point. Maybe we should have thrown the game we...

    Rebels 2023

    How much improvement have we made. Except for the last game we have looked completely lost in attack all year. Every time we made a half break during the year we would be so surprised that we would do something really dumb to cough the ball up. Our midfield defense has been at times laughable...

    Rebels 2023

    I thought he had been given a two year extension or is that just rumor and unsubstantiated at this stage. I hope it is just a rumor as I can't see it mentioned anywhere except on G&GR.

    I think Jordy if he can stay fit and with a bit of work on his throwing could be the pick of the Aussie hookers. His scrum work and physicality is first rate. He is also built like the proverbial brick shithouse, which you have to like. Mafi I think is a great pick up and gives us a really...

    Rebels v Highlanders 29th May 2pm @ AAMI

    Kicking it out was absolutely the correct decision. The Rebels only consideration was for winning the game and not risk the win to help the Force get one over a different team. If it had been the other way around and the Rebels had thrown the game to ensure the Force made it we would have been...

    Rebels 2023

    I hope we don't get Latu. We struggle now with 15 on the park trying to play with 14 most of the time will be really difficult. The man really has a two cent head.

    Rebels 2023

    He tends to keep it simple which I like from a half-back (saying I like anything from a half-back makes me feel a little dirty). His passing is quick and accurate, he doesn't really snipe that often and is fairly sparing with the pox kick, sorry box kick. He doesn't hold the ball at the back for...

    Refereeing decisions

    Well we saw a classic example of that a couple of weeks ago when Matt Philip was dragged over the line by the Chiefs. He had a clear grounding and in my opinion it should have been a try because he didn't promote himself but the defensive team did. Make that a try and you won't see the defensive...

    Now Raelene, I am not sure if it is appropriate for a future politician to let you try on his helmet for size.

    Hurricanes v Rebels Sat May 21, 7.05pm NZT 5.05pm AEST, Wellington

    I will still renew mine. It is tragic but it is what it is.

    Rebels 2022

    Yes, but there is a significant risk with inexperienced coaches. The Tahs appear at this stage to have been lucky though while they have improved they are not exactly dominating the comp and they have far greater resources at their disposal than the Rebels. There is still a risk with...

    Australian Super Rugby Team of the Week 2022

    Kellaway may not be the greatest athlete but he is not slow and is a pretty good finisher. Playing outside of the Rebels centres doesn't exactly put him in a position to be constantly threatening. The rebels are pretty solid in the forwards but they have no one currently in the back line that...

    I am also not sure we have the wingers to unlock. AK (Andrew Kellaway) is your classic super professional mistake free type winger but not exactly a line breaker. Vaihu and Worth haven't shown enough to make me feel that they can be released either.

    Rebels 2023

    I am all for Kerevi if that is even possible. Highly unlikely I would suggest though, he will want to go to one of the Brumbies, Reds or Tahs if he does come back to Australia. Tupou would be a great to have but it is not really our area of weakness, our propping depth is pretty good. Coaching...

    You wouldn't need to lift him. Just stand him at 1 and stare down the hooker while blocking out the sun.

    Fair enough, I must admit I copied the spelling from another post. Laziness on my behalf.

    Rebels 2023

    Pollard I think has a big future and if Uelese is off we should be chasing as they currently have 27 wallaby number 2s on their list. I just don't see it with Lonergan, he appears to be your classic front rower picked because of what he brings out side of the tight 5. Maybe it is just because...

    Watching the Brumbies Vs Drua game and noticed how good Lomani was and how quick he liked to recycle the ball. When he was with the Rebels he rarely started and when he did he was usually played on the wing. It was a pity we never really saw that game down in Melbourne because you when recycle...
