This is not looking good for the rebels.

Yeah, they should totally go try and get the best new talent in tight head prop that we've seen in ages.... what was his name? Alo Emile? Oh wait... More accurately, the Rebels could certainly do worse than securing a quality hooker option. Ged has been quality for the franchise, but his time...

I generally catch up with mates in the city, either at Beer Deluxe or one of the other fine establishments with a more prolific beer list. This week however, I suspect I'll be at work until shortly before the game.

Yeah, 7's locks you. Not disputing that. The other, you may be right. The relevant provision appears to be Reg. 8.3(b): 8.3 For the purposes of this Regulation, a Player is deemed to have played for the senior fifteen-a-side National Representative Team or the next senior fifteen-a-side...

Yes.

Ah, I think I follow. Yes, it would be arguable that someone who played in those games is a 'Wallaby'. But, my definitional basis is that playing in one of those games would not preclude an uncapped player from playing for any other international team, to the best of my understanding. While...

I believe you have to play against another nation. IE: a mid-week game vs leicester would not count.

People say a lot of things after they get caught. If he's not so serious about his rugby, the ban won't matter that much to him. If he is so serious about his rugby, I have substantial doubt it wasn't intended for use. Either way, for the purpose of general deterrence, punishments such as...

I think an interesting question is: would he be starting if he was not injured or is Lipman back as the #1 7?

Everything about Hill's tenure has indicated to me he's a long term planner sort. I'd say the KB (Kurtley Beale) decision was a man-management thing for someone returning from a long term injury. Hux and Johansson will be better coming off the bench. There is less opportunity for them to be tired and succumb...

I was actually thinking that was a pretty decent bench. Particularly the forwards.

Rather than clogging up the team thread with news on this one. Team has been announced: http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/News/ArticleDetails/tabid/270/ArticleID/6005/Default.aspx STARTING TEAM: 1. LOOSEHEAD PROP - Nic Henderson 2. HOOKER - Adam Freier 3. TIGHTHEAD PROP - Rodney Blake 4...

Ged > Freier and whether Phipps is the best halfback is debatable. But damned close to it.

Just took a time to arrive. :( Did you really think I wasn't a foundation member?

:/ I haven't received mine yet. Sounds like a great initiative, although it will mean that I'll have to meet whatever friends I bring after the game.

If that was a tackle, it'd be jumping into a tackle and a penalty against the sharks player.

I think in this case, both players are quite 'unequal' in the eyes of fans.

Both NRL and Rugby AND good food? :confused: I actually don't know that many places that really show the NRL in Melbourne, which could be more indicative of the venues I frequent, but in my experience it's normally on a small screen off in a corner somewhere if it is on. Also, while it is...

That is likewise my preferred lineup. I think KB (Kurtley Beale) is ready to make the next step in his career.

Yeah he's locked. But how far we have come from "there's not enough depth in Australian rugby to support 5 teams" to "they took our jerbs!".
