Rebels 2013

[blues recovery]

Quins are certainly a very social club. Glad you enjoyed the hospitality of Melbourne Rugby.

Higgers, colby, Reid, lopeti, all confirmed
I would imagine saffy and jones are staying.
That's 6 back row with jones capable at lock
I.e saffy colby higgers with jones/neville and lopeti on the bench
Reid is a development player still.
Unsure on fug. Gives away a lot of penalties

Reid has a full time contract for next 2 seasons.

Fuglistaller still has a year to run, signed a two year deal when he joined.

Would love to see jones come back to perth he is just the type of lock/6 we need.

Great signing by the rebs with timani junior he is a player of the future.

Think most Rebels fans are hoping the Jones and JOC (James O'Connor) are the next 2 to put pen to paper.

Perth would be a good option for Beale? Pretty sure his value is at a 4 year low if there keen.

Think beale will head home to sydney.

Would love JOC (James O'Connor) to come back but not many in perth would but if jones is on the market we should be doing all we can to get him.

We signed Jones from you guys. I would only see him going back home, or towards it at least.

entirely possible home (ie mum) may move to melbourne !

Timani Jr. is a great get. A back row of Higgers - Fainga'a/Saffy - Timani in the last 15 minutes could be awesome. That's some immense ball-running ability.

 

[FiveStarStu]

I had never heard of Billy Valetini (sp?), a young guy from Halequins, but I nearly shat myself at the skills that kid has. 17 years old, built like a brick shithouse and runs faster than an arctic southerly. Went over for a double and could have had 2 more. I might be coming late to the party but this kid is going places..

Signing Bill and Kemu Valetini to 5-year contracts would not be the worst decision the Rebels have ever made.

Big, big things.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

i'd like to see them signed to development contracts so that they poach them before the storm do.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Reid has a full time contract for next 2 seasons.

Fuglistaller still has a year to run, signed a two year deal when he joined.

i'd be happy with
pyle
neville/jones
saffy
colby
higgers

bench from
Jones/neville
Lopeti

on the bench to cover lock/backrow.

we have reid and Fug as development players/fill ins. which is appropriate as neither are really starters at super level.

 

[Hoolly Doolly]

lopeti's work rate off the ball is poor. Colby is a great pickup if true. Latest i heard kingi is off to france.

 

[Bruce Ross]

I notice some members are having Shift Key problems.

We are no longer the sporting capital of the world, we are the 'Loose Forwards' capital of the world.

You lot need a flyhalf more than anything else in the world.



Beale and Beiber are not the answer for anyone, find a class 10 and then let Beiber and Beale do their thing out wide.

Someone who's not so flashy, but calm, collected and mature with a decent passing/kicking game. He can run the phase play while Beiber and Beale do the counter-attack out wide.

You could end up being a deadly counter-attacking team, and play that style of game. Get the forwards to work harder and dominate more consistently so you can build the pressure up front, a 10 to run solid phase play and kick well, and Beale/Beiber running wild from the back.

Cipriani got scared off by these ads.

He figured anything bigger than a bus was just too dangerous.

This x 1000.

The rebels need a genuine flyhalf. If I was coaching Melbourne I'd sign up 3 or 4 young 10's and make them compete for the position. It was what they needed to do this year.
