Melbourne Rebels 2024

[Tex]

I certainly feel for Rebels fans and understand the anger and not wishing to support the national side. These are all emotions I felt when the Force were cut. I didn't really come back into the fold until Super Rugby-AU, so I get it.

All the best if this is the end (and I hope it's not).

Was thinking this morning that if we do fold, that is hope that the cream of the crop go West. Seems fair after Wessels and Coleman and co came to us.

Rebels only formed around 2009 didn't they?

Were you a rugby fan pre-Rebels?

2011 but the first version was in the ARC in 2007.

Yes I was - I grew up with the game and was a fan of the Brumbies as a kid, but the Rebels are my team and my main connection to the game since I stopped playing. That won’t be replaced by RA just throwing us a national team game every year.

It’s almost on par now. With more and more money getting poured in by the NRL. Known friends who’s kids have made the switch

Ok mate, I have to realise they are Australian, so what can you expect huh??

LClassic moment after the Wallaroos game, I was in the weary room, the RA representative (brave of him to be there tbh) got up to make a speech to a n already frosty crowd…..,and congratulated the Jillaroos for their performance!!!! Crowd booed, he scarpered after a few empty words.

he had one job

Who was it?

Wallaroos played well their first half. Dire in the 2nd.

It’s was the COO. Also called the match a battle between 4th and 6th, not mentioning the Rebels name once.

meanwhile, Phil and Dan were over in Perth on Saturday night watching the Force va Tahs match. Appreantly in the company of AF.

Rebels could drop Rugby Australia lawsuit threat if it backs plan to save club

The change of tack could signal a major development in the negotiations between the consortium attempting to rescue the Melbourne Rebels and the sport’s governing body.
