Was hopeful one of the Super Rugby sides would get John Porch after he’s been playing great rugby in the Pro14 but he’s just extended his contract for another year at Connacht.

Lock is a spot we can replace. Cummins will come into the side and the Callas will get an opportunity off the bench.

Eloff and Kemeny were best on ground for Rebels. Koteka very good for the Force

Should be a few players back next week as well. Perhaps with a lot of home games remaining the Rebels can challenge this season. Their defense is amazing

Squad is that low on players atm. Young Kailea would effectively be the 8th choice prop. Unfortunately they have had to draft him in from the development ranks and only playing 2nd grade last year to the side due to injuries. It’s arguably cost us 2 matches with the scrum going from very...

A perfect situation for me would be; - players not in match day squad play in local comp during the season - at end of Trans-Tasman comp National comp is played in the space that the NRC held, this time it’s just the 5 super sides but squads will obviously be without Wallabies players...

The storm also control what happens in most these clubs in terms of high performance. I’d love for them to associate with another club but there is no way in hell that Queensland would allow the Rebels to influence their clubs. No NRL team looks after a whole competition as their pathway.

Dewar took a hit last year with the competition cancelled. There was around 20 players that headed interstate to get game time. A large portion of these guys won’t be back because they have found opportunities elsewhere and to be honest in better comps/programs. We wish them good luck but it’s...

Wouldn’t surprise me if this has something to do with the WR (World Rugby) loan from last year.

Solid Force team. They have gone big in the pack to combat the physicality that the Rebels are bringing. I don’t like the match up of Kailea v Holmes in the last 20mins, could be lambs to the slaughter if there is many set pieces

From what I have read it’s literally week to week and been given the all clear for any future issues from several industry experts. Just the symptoms under some duress that are still sticking around. Hopefully we see him back when he can, the club wouldn’t throw him out there until he’s 100%

Not sure on any injuries with them sorry. I’d suspect Wilkin is still struggling with the injury that made him leave the field at half time against the Reds, but that pure speculation than any actual knowledge.

Uelese has been training, so could be back earlier than expected. DHP I’m not as confident by, George Worth into the squad shows how unknown the lay off time will be.

Fair chance Carter Gordon to fill one of the bench spots.

Rebels to name another 2 bench players, squad really struggling with injures. It’s more about getting through this game and regroup next week back home with a few guys that have been unable to travel west back onboard. A win would put the Rebels in a very strong position with 2 games against the...

Haha, that's laughable. Even if they lose this they have 2 bonus points in the 2 hardest fixtures. They have 2 fixtures vs the Tahs and would have return fixtures at home against the Force, Reds and Brums. Even if they only pick up a bonus point this week, given the remaining fixture list...

Article in the Australian indicating whoever signs Rodda it won’t be about price because of some sort of fixed pricing model that means no team can out bid the other for him.

Should continue to have issues upfront this week. Orr I believe has returned to Melbourne, so highly unlikely to be fit for this week. Absolutely no idea on Gibbon. If Fa’amasuili isn’t fit we might have to draft in another prop from outside the squad to play or Eloff back to reserve TH with...

No I got your point, it’s just not how democratic systems work. You can still get coalition’s and in recent years that seems to be drifting towards NSW vs the rest.
