Rebels 2013

[kronic]

According to Twitter he has been back training (conditioning only it seems). He is due for a scan IIRC

 

[thierry dusautoir]

Hopefully it comes back ok. I really like him as a player

 

[kronic]

Same. Plus we don't have an openside at present.

Looks like Jenkins is still at the Tahs

@geerob: #Waratahs OUT: Chris Alcock, Rocky Elsom, Brackin Karauria-Henry, Daniel Halangahu, Dean Mumm, Sarel Pretorius, Dan Vickerman #rugby

Hmm... I thought Jono Jenkins had signed overseas somewhere.

Even though the picture link to the squad is still Sarel Pretorius, the squad has been updated with the new signings and departures.

Jono Jenkins isn't there.

Just saw the full list now. I stand corrected, hmmm...

Jenkins isn't an "out" because he came from outside the squad, never had a contract.

Rebels have signed Highlanders Super Rugby and Wellington ITM player Scott Fugilstaller for next year as openside back up to Jarrod Saffy. Also understand they have signed Angus Roberts who is starring at the moment for Sydney Uni in the Shute Shield semis as a 15/10. Young player with enormous promise.

Link to an article?

Another foreign player? What happened with AJ Gilbert?

 

[blues recovery]

Heard it at the Grand finals on Saturday

 

[kronic]

Cheers. I'll try and get another confirmation.

 

[FiveStarStu]

Rebels have signed...Scott Fugilstaller

Good name.

Not surprised. It's like SUFC have been promoted into Super Rugby sometimes

 

[qwerty51]

Fugistaller is a good player, tough and a very good ball runner. Odd that no Kiwi province gave him a go

Fugistaller is a god player, tough and a very good ball runner. Odd that no Kiwi province gave him a go

Has he got a convenient Grandma or something?

 

[Hairy Test Eagle]

I hope Lane signs with the Rebels, i can't see him getting much of a chance at the Reds behind Quade, Lucas and Harris. He's a cool headed player with a lot of potential. If he did that way he could play with Beale at Fullback and JOC (James O'Connor) at inside.

 

[kronic]

Word is Lane is off to the Tahs.

 

[en_force_er]

Yeah, the word says he's taken. He's damn good though but bloody overrated, in 2013 he's a great EPS pick-up and that's it.

We could sure use a specialist 10 though. Since Cipps left all we have are utilities, and Hilgendorf who's damn solid but should never be starting.

 

[Braveheart81]

You should play Beale there.

That is the pathway to success for the Rebels in my opinion.

 

[wilful]

You should play Beale there.

There's a huge argument either way. Personally I agree with you. He's looked good there when he has played - but what's best for the wallabies, and what's wrong with FB, shouldn't he keep progressing at 15?

O'Connor shouldn't be a half, he should be a centre, whatever his personal preference.

 

[Braveheart81]

I still think Kurtley Beale has the ability to be the best 10 in the country.
