The interesting part of the article is how the Reds, Tahs and Brumbies have resigned about 26 players and are just awaiting who's been cut to top up the squads from the cut team.Just. Get. Fucked.
Think Wayne is just fishing, because a fair chunk of the article talks about the Rebels as the new dead ducks.

Well, Paul Cully has named Volavola in his team of the week. We are obviously all pretty bad judges

I had heard that Sean is more likely to sign overseas than with another Aussie club as Cheika keeps messing him around.
As for dead ducks, get f$&ked Smith!

Had to laugh,
So I had a look at his stats on ESPN,
8 Kicks
17 Passes
11 Runs for 62
4 Defenders beaten
1 Offloads
2 Turnovers Conceded
2 Tackles
2 Missed Tackles
1 Line outs Won?
So his attack was actually ok, defense is not great with 50% completion rate of tackles.

BVV was a bit better than previous outings, to be fair.Well, Paul Cully has named Volavola in his team of the week. We are obviously all pretty bad judges
I'd say Cully is the Volavola of rugby journos.

The stat that isn't recorded is "tackles not attempted".
I mentioned on the game blog that I thought he actually used the ball better than our other 10s have so far this year.

Who would be surprised if it turns out that the untouchables have been told they can start signing players as long as they keep it quiet, nudge nudge wink wink?

Don't worry, the ARU know about it.

Smith has been flogging the "Rebels gone" theme for weeks now. No news out of anywhere, so that must mean the Force are safe and the Rebels are out. Him and his mates are now nothing more than click bait c***s.
And frankly, a nasty part of me hopes that Sean HAS signed to Japan. Serves the ARU right if all affected Force and Rebels players move off-shore in droves.
The Tele podcast this week suggested that the ARU will find it easier to pay the Rebels owner to go away (buy back the licence) than get rid of the force. They suggested the silence from the owner over the last few weeks may be down to ongoing negotiations to get a satisfactory number.
I think a Crowd of 6,931 for a big local derby isn't helping their cause

fatprop, nothing is helping their case. i wonder if Sean is really pissed at the Wallabies medical staff for right royally f@#cking up his injured ankle management.
this exactly. stay away from the prospect and the stats aren't that bad, no attempts = no misses = 100% effective
I'd suggest this is more a symptom of the current ARU fuckadoody and breathtaking incompetence than just a sheer indifference to Rugby from the good ol' Melbourne folk. sure, we're not having a successful season, but nor is anyone in Australia. And it's showing n the crowd numbers across the country too, not just in Melbourne.
Do you really think he tried to avoid playing on the EOYT and was made to?
I'd bet he did everything he could to play down his problems and try and get selected and pass fitness tests.
