They weren't named that way. But, maybe they switched on game day.

Must have switched on game day. I admire Ellison's tatts & Inman's silholette. 
Fairly sure that was the way they played at least the first half.

Correct. Saw it with my own eyes!
Three trial games, three times at 12 for Mitch.
Unless my maths is wrong, or Tony is pulling a swifty, I predict Mitch at 12 next weekend.

Yeah, not sure why Tony would do that. I can't see any value to it being a tactic to confuse the opposition coach, given it is a trial game and players are expected to float around.
It does however, confuse the hell out of us.
And by the way, you are welcome. I attended all three trials and there were three wins. Pretty sure I caused that, not the hard work by the guys in the off-season.
He is a unit, but I think he is being groomed for a LHP role. When you put him up again Toby smith, a 2 time Super Rugby champion, he might not make the starting team immediately. He also has the ability to play both LH and TH well, so TT might be keeping him as the super sub option. The man is a beast and it will only be a matter of time.
We are very flush for choice when it comes to props this year, a wonderful thing if you ask this ageing old prop.

Also, what was with the weather at our trials? I've never sweated so much at the Rugby before.

I mustn't have had that much to drink then.....
That explains it. And yes, the Rebels do appear to have a wonderful stock of props this year. Wonder how we can encourage some north....... ;-)

Is it just me or are The Rebels channeling Entourage with their leadership group photo.
Not surprised by that at all. Already played a full season and I would think his body needs a rest. Will be missed, but I think it's a wonderful chance for Pat to step up into the starting role and make a good fist of it. He's been doing well in the trials.
Anyone catch the cheetahs vs bulls match last night? Very surprised with the scoreline (cheetahs up 15 - 9). I like the idea the cheetahs didn't cross the chalk. The travel isn't going to help them too much when they face us next Friday.

Daz, Ellison didn't play the first trial. In the second trial he came on at 12 in the second half and pushed Inman back to 13. English went to the wing. I didn't see the Reds trial but in Geelong Ellison was leaps and bounds ahead of Inman as a 12. Looking at the boys running their attack today, he was at 12 again.
