In other news, Big Timani has sorted out his French contract and is gone at the end of the Spring season.
This rules out him taking one of the 2 spots left on the Rebels roster which have been pencil in as a lock and a 5/8 according to Cordingley. He's said these players would preferentially be Aussie qualified but I can't see any obviously options.
I don't mind this personally, Timani is a good player who deserves to start in any league in the world, but he sure does unbalance a team. A 2nd rower who can't jump in line outs and offers a relatively low work rate around the park (though is devastating when he makes contact) really makes balancing the players around him harder.
Let's keep developing the two locks we've got, and keep Jones in mind as our own Luatua (6 who can play lock).
