Re: Melbourne Rebels recruitment: update what you hear
It looks like one of the mock-ups they had on their facebook page last week. Very happy that this one has the silver piping instead of the gold or red they were floating last week. Hope the actual one comes in as somthing similar.

Its a mock-up and a fan made one at that.
I wouldn't be reading too much into it.

Re: Melbourne Rebels recruitment: update what you hear
Also why don't we rename this thread "VICTORIAN Rebels 2011". As you might guess the Victorian part is to make a point that it's ridiculous to call a team Melbourne in an otherwise provincial competition.
The franchise is a done deal and all the other teams have their 2011 discussion threads named as such. Also, maybe we could put in a rebels symbol on the thread logo options. Obviously there is currently no official one but the Rebel Army support group have a nice one set up.

Re: Victorian Rebels 2011
Don't hate me because my username has some serious punch.
On a different note does anyone know if the Rebels are official the Melbourne Rebels or what? Press releases seem to constantly refer to them as such but I don't know if it's official and I've never seen the issue addressed.
I've always been a little peeved off with just how Melbourne centered Vic Rugby seems to be. I mean the Greater Geelong population is around 200,000 and the city has 1 club that can barely field 2 teams. Perhaps I better take my concerns over to grass routes.

Re: Victorian Rebels 2011
Sigh. I've been wanting to write a little rant about the VRU and Vic Rugby in general (yes, the Rebels are not run by the VRU) and thinks like this make me want to even more.
I'm just worried that I'll put a whole bunch of effort in and nobody will read it.

Re: Victorian Rebels 2011
They might read it, but they already have a brand that has some market recognition in Melbourne Rebels, so they are unlikely to change anything. It is going to be hard enough for them in the first few years to build the interest, without trying to take an unknown brand into a very crowded sports market place. I would think that if they were to ever change it, it would be a few years in once they have established themselves.

Re: Victorian Rebels 2011
well, i always considered the move to call it melbourne, as part of the ARU's plan (splitting the super rugby comp into pools) so eventually, like is often suggested, you get a domestic comp in australia, with the eventual devolution of the reds and tahs into a few different teams each (however without the traditional names) and the creation of the southern hemisphere heinekin cup, to now be called by yours truly as the Carlton cup.

Re: Victorian Rebels 2011
I understand what you are saying but I just don't think changing it from Melbourne Rebels to Victorian Rebels would really effect the brand recognition. It may even generate some press in itself.
No harm in using some inclusive language.

Re: Victorian Rebels 2011
just thinking, is there anything that the rebels could do about reconverting the fourth Fainga'a brother, vili? hes openly come out previously saying that he found league more challenging, but i reckon with some proper direction and a decent contract, he might come back over, and by the threads he might be decent enough, especially if his brothers are anything o go by...

Pretty sure he left the Storm to get away from Melbourne and move back with the family in Queensland. Playing for Ipswich Jets Rugby League team along side A.J Gilbert (former Reds) now.
