'he is good in the air too and a nice runner. There has been several comments earlier on the thread about "offering an olive branch", "not made up his mind" etc. Nothing definite from anybody more in the know than me. I am hoping he stays. I liked what I saw this year in the short time he had...

Not convinced we should ever have Placid at 15. Has not really cut it there at NRC let alone soop. He would be better on a wing but not a starter. Don't know if Fou will be ready. It will be a weak point for us unless we move Hodge or Jack Deb there which only moves the weak spot closer to the...

Amen to that. I've always seen him as an eight since he dominated the BRC in that position. Lock seemed to reduce him. I'm just waiting for Dumbledore to dispute it. I wish the rebels recruitment team would focus the international spot on a lock rather than the 8s that keep pushing him out of...

There are a few on the Rebels thread over the years that don't see Timani at 8. Personally I think he has the perfect build for it but after a great season there in the first NRC he was moved to lock at the Rebs by TT. Only had one game at 8 that I recall and was awful. Mind you he was awful at...

Well done the "local" product fox.

it was very nice hands for Placid try but I have liked the double for Naisarani. Sure he may have been a little fortunate with the defense but his size and speed create those opportunities. How has he been going in the other games? Looks like a solid prospect to me.

Parese was good but I thought Reid was the difference in this game. When he was off the Rising looked poor. When he was on there was more starch in the defense. As much as we all bag Jack D I thought his boot at full back side a difference too. The forwards seemed to push harder knowing a kick...

Surely at 19 that is an EPS contract

Thanks for that Highlander. I am even more keen to see Toolis play now. Speaking of seeing them play. I got the email today stating home games will be 3 at quins and one at frankston. Not that I am complaining as quins is closest to me but they seem to get the lions share of these games. Are...

I can sympathise with those that bought the rising kit and now have something obsolete. Same thing pissed me off then Rebels went from mostly blue to the white/blue/grey hoops. (which while distinctive I hate the look of) I really did not like the pink (actually described as salmon by the...

I really nope we keep Crawford. If Asquith is going that would be a shame as I rate him better than Placid. I would really like us to sign an 8 or a large lock similar to Rory Arnold. That would also free Romano to play 8. I know he had a shocker there in SAF but he had several shockers at lock...

Just saw the reply. Yep, you captured my mood perfectly when I saw the first run from starting kick. 25m through four tackles. Set the tone really. At least we scored a few thanks super Sega.

I'll back that up. Thought he was good. Reid in defense seemed solid too but there were so many missed tackles I may have missed some. Other positive, we have no more kiwi sides to get flogged by this year. Only the Reds.

As much as I hate the bloke Etzabeth has killed us in the line out tonight

Fark. I have not seen our scrum so convincingly dished up since... well ever. Weeks comming on seems to have helped but we are still on the backdoor. Now we need to fix the line-out. Better start running them around a bit.

That's pretty much it. Much more depth at the hurricanes.

And the website says, 33-10. I admit I did not see one of the conversions as I was refueling at the bar but was told he got it. Definitely five tries to two though. Hurricanes dominated the last 20 min.

Don't get too used to it. The battery on the phone is nearly dead. Canes put sustained pressure on the rebels try line. Draws the defense in and use the numbers to score in the corner again. Also converted and game over. 35-10 to canes. Did not recognise many through the rain, mud and...

A good drive from Jordy Reid sees the rebels get in the 22. Canes offside. Lineout taken and rebels score a try from a maul. Conversion missed. 28-10

Canes score again off the restart after another fumble. Converted again. 28-5. Rebels scrum going backwards now too.
