Digby played for Melbourne.
He was at the reds wasnt he?
there was some QRU players propping up the Melbourne franchise.
He debuted for the Force, signed with the Reds from 2008 onwards, didn't really crack the Reds team as a consistent player though until 2009.
Possibly was a Reds signing during the ARC but hadn't played a game yet.
I remember the rebels ARC being propped up a lot by qld players.
they had the gps hooker at the time chirven & think the Shaw brothers and Donnelley from brothers were turning out for the Melbourne team.
From the archives:The games were really high quality (maybe not the Qld teams who ended bottom of the ladder). The ELVs really contributed to fast rugby.
I remember Ben Lucas actually playing well. Blair Connor did some good things and Pete Hynes was trialled at Flyhalf and was ok.
More broadly Beale was brilliant and Benny Alexander very good too. The Melbourne Rebels were my favourite team. Digby was terrific as was Crofty as captain.
He had one just lost it drink drivingBeale won a sponsor car before he had his licence!
Check wests socials (instagram) they posted wests draw and then qpr draw tooWhere can you find the 2023 QPR draw?
Either way you look at it you are still robbing Peter to pay Paul - you just want to make sure you are West I mean Paul and not Brothers I mean Peter haha
Spot on. Brad Kuhn the perfect example. And let's be honest......he is really only a genuine 2nd Grade standard player. He started what? 2 games in 1st Grade at Norths. Leaves to go to UQ last year where he started a max 2 more in 1st Grade where he got dusted. But boom, picks up a deal at Suntory for this year..........Players need to move if they want to play Prem grade and they see their pathway blocked.
