Rebels 2017

[Mr Wobbly]

I reckon it's both .

Who better do demonstrate who we really are against than the dreaded , spiritless, holders of the worlds biggest superiority complex (and unfounded) , Tahs .
*snip

Not to mention the tasteless clothing and garish make up worn by most of their supporters

I liked the tone of that message - sounds positive.

Who has been to all of the 49 previous games?

I'd be somewhere around 43 or 44, missed a few in both 2011 and 2012.

46

The reason for missing each
1: Death in family
2: partner a week overdue
3: baby born 2 days prior and in ICU

I've missed about 3 home games but have made up for it with about 3 away games per season.

I've missed about 4, including the first one against the Tahs. Missed a few Easter matches too.

Wow you guys are dedicated. I've been to my fair share but nothing near your numbers. I appreciate that the game comes first above all, wish it was like that for me!

 

[blues recovery]

Away been to
Perth twice
Canberra twice
Sydney twice
Brisbane twice
Auckland once
Invercargill once ( yes vs Highlanders . Coldest place on earth. )

 

[swingpass]

yes i've missed only three and left in disgust/despair half way through one.

from Cox, too little, too late ?

i was quietly wondering/ hoping that the silence from Rebels HQ meant they knew not to worry. now not so sure.

Invercargill once (Coldest place on earth. )

Sydney x 3

Sydney twice (15 and 16) and Brisvegas (16). For two wins, not a bad record. Want to tick Canberra and Perth off the list. Forsyth Barr would be awesome.

Reckon there would be a few Bluff boys would dispute Invercargill as the coldest place in NZ

Steady on, champs:

"The climate is warm and temperate in Invercargill........."

How warm? Averages a whopping 14C in January, I'll have you know

https://en.climate-data.org/location/5715/

OK so it cools down a bit in July (doesn't everywhere South of the tropics do that?) & possibly gets a bit wet most months BUT even so, "The climate here is classified as Cfb by the Köppen-Geiger system...." Can't argue with Messers Koppen & Geiger, they're like the Duckworth & Lewis of climatologists (I presume).

No, I think he's just keeping up with the rest of the CEOs. Actually, has the Force released something similar?

I think the silence is deliberate. All of the CEOs were told to zip it until more was known about the new structure (I.e wait for SA to pull their finger out and work out what that wanna do).

Having said that, no more than a day AFTER the CEOs said they would remain silent, Coxy (as the owner) came out of his shell and ripped into SANZAAR.

Have to admit, away games are so much more fun, win or lose going to an away game and being out numbered 1000s - 1 and making as much noise as possible is awesome.

Not hard in Sydney. It's like going to a Rugby match in a library!

Been to 44 home games plus one game in Brisbane.

No doubt you guys can also add some trial games too - been to a couple of trials at AAMI Park plus trial v Fiji in Ballarat.

 

[GoMelbRebels]

Been to several trial games, including Albury in 2014 where we played the Tahs. It was 40degs - damn hot, would have been awful to play in that heat.

I was in Albury then too, can still remember how hot it was - though the set up was superb and they got a good crowd too
