I tend to think its always more complex than what it seems outside. Phipps very well may be looking into a return to NSW. If that is the case, why shouldn't the Rebels look at other options?

The problem is, if you want to develop players and reach the maximum number of talented athletes then you need to be looking outside the NSW and QLD catchments. There are going to be players who have stagnated in the VIC and WA comps or even given the game away because the cost of relocating to...

It's amusing me already!

That would be terribly amusing.

English and Hegarty supposedly did well during the trial. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that they've been given a call up to work in the outside backs.

No, I was just going off the Twitter feed. I'm just more concerned about being spoiled for choice in our Prop selection than our Wingers.

uhh... yes?

Following this logic it pretty much has to be Hodgo at the force. Of course, captains may be known internally already at the club(s) that haven't named them.

I thought it was because of the effort (or lack thereof) that he put into his tackle on Folau when he got his first try.

Not using the arms in the tackle from the report I read.

That article is really confused. Its not really saying anything except he has a sore shoulder and will undergo scans. Also, I am more concerned that Aholetei went off injured early than Vuna.

I think in the nature of these things, it is a fluid thing. Ostensibly it is handled by the Rebel Rising team (http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/Community/RebelRugby.aspx), so I don't know if there is a whole lot of training directly with the main Rebels group. Going by the above page, it looks...

It certainly sounds promising. Now to see if he can make it a financial reality.

Some photos coming in from the touring group, Jordy Reid is front and centre in many of them so I imagine he'll be getting some game time. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151396725424617.501207.205951614616&type=1 Although, saying that I notice that Higginbotham is there as well...

To be entirely fair, Beer is quite often an intrinsic element of Rugby supporting.

Oops, its Valetini, I don't know much but he is purportedly a 'Quin's player. Perhaps some more involved individuals will have more info.

Pretty sure XXXX Gold is already midstrength.

While its not strictly my belief, this begs the comment: "In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king."

There's information floating around on Facebook at the moment that Kemu Valentine (a local Vic product) of the wider training squad is being taken over for the trial. This seems to indicate that players not already named may get a run and that there might be more of the EPS and wider training...

Particularly for trial matches, much of the match discussion gives way to more speculation about the season proper. I don't know if such speculation is necessarily inappropriate for this thread.
