Rebels 2017

Oh dear. If we get four wins I'll do a little dance out in the middle of AAMI park! So far, we're on 1.5 wins. So, technically we can still do it.

I wasn't home Sunday and just watched replay I notice JGB went off for a concussion test. I wonder if there is any doubt over him for this week.

Reds used 42 in 2015

Season still young enough to add to it.

But I'll raise your 42 with 38 and 5 (Pama Fou, Dom shippers, Sam Jeffries, Alex Toolis and Rob Leota) players that were ruled out for the year before the season started Haha.

4 wins is just a pipe dream tho, I'd settle for 2 and a half. As a former QLD'er come on the reds to finish the conference on top.

Shippers could be back after the international window.

 

[GoMelbRebels]

Some good inclusions - wonder if any are possible late withdrawals?

 

[Rebels3]

Probably, there's the captains curse this year. 3 x captain has pulled out on game day and 2 x captain been knocked out in first half. The only thing shitter than our play this year has been our luck

Stirzaker, English and Naivalu are coming back from injury. Plus Hodge was heavily concussed and JGB went off late for a concussion test. So I would say there is a very good chance of a late withdrawal and possibly more than one.

 

[GoMelbRebels]

Inman ready to take Hodge's place.

GoMelbRebels who would replace Inman on bench? Kodama?

 

[GoMelbRebels]

Only choice I think.

GoMelbRebels to replace Inman on the bench? Massive call but I for one am excited to see it.

You may laugh now, but you'll be laughing a lot more if it actually happened. I would last until the first tackle. Maybe!

Don't worry, I'd make sure your supplied with energy drink supplements (Beer) at regular intervals. I'll slip a bottle to Craig.

I might bring my boots as well to replace you GoMelbRebels once you get injured in the warm up. They are only a few years removed from some QLD prem games and still getting a very casual workout at Albert Park Touch and the odd 3rd div game. Keep a stretcher handy tho

 

[RebelYell]

What about Ah-Mu Tuimaleali'ifano? He'd be a chance too, right? With a last resort being Taiso Silafai-Leaana & backup 9 being Maradona Farao, probably?

 

[Scooter]

RebelYell I was wondering if any of the Rising players would get a look in or be close.

Actually, my hammies are feeling a bit tight already, I may not even make the warm-up.

Very happy with that second half performance by the Rebels - can't really complain about a 12-10 scoreline after half time particularly when I was expecting their typical collapse at the end.

However, I will complain about Ben Meehan's stupid box kick. I didn't realise he was on until I saw the scrum half do a box kick which lost us possession and resulted in a Crusaders try. Please from all of us, stop box kicking.
