I doubt that either of them will see much game time in 2016. They both have fantastic potential though.

Both '97 birthdays I think so they've both got 2 years of under 20s to worry about first!

Sione might get some time here and there but I don't think it will be a lot.

Earlier in the year, there was a rumour that Harley Fox was training in Melbourne with an eye to switching to hooker. However, in the article it seems clear that he is "really excited to work with fellow back rowers such as Sean McMahon, Scott Fuglistaller and Adam Thomson. The Rebels’ back row competition is really strong, and to learn off all of them will be great", which would seem to put the rumour to bed.
Maybe it was the emergence of Jordan Uelese as a promising prospect at hooker, maybe the attempt was a bust and a decision was made that the backrow is indeed Harley Fox's best fit, or maybe it was a rumour with little substance to it.
Does anyone know?
Hi Gang,
Off-topic, but it involves Beer. Gonna have another attempt at a Christmas drinks thing. See the thread:

Yeah, it's been weird in that we haven't heard anything from the Rebels for 2 weeks, where normally we get something from them every couple of days or so.

according to Rebels Facebook page, currently no major sponsor, just the Melbourne Rebels now.
Are the Rebels no longer sponsored by Rabodirect?

Melbourne Rebels Hi James. You're right, RaboDirect are no longer a partner. We will just be known as the Melbourne Rebels and have some great partnerships with other sponsors.Like · Reply · November 20 at 9:04pm
Nope, that finished up as of this year. Was announced a few months back.
The idea of not having a major sponsor troubles me a little bit. The absence of a naming rights sponsor doesn't phase me at all. I think the need to hook in with a major Victorian brand to get some buy-in to the locals.

I like the way they use some surnames, some first names and some nicknames, like we tend to do.
Interesting choice of captains. I guess they'll be swapped around a fair bit to spread around the leadership training.
