You get the feeling the Rebels were never on the chop list, and as Slim commented above the buying of the Force's IP was all part of the plan.
This is not going to end well whatever way it goes.

You were disturbingly specific in your punishment there.

Although it wasn't really.

It didn't specify whether it was length, Circumference, Diameter or radius.

Nor material, texture or temperature.

 

[Forceright]

Hey guys! Welcome to our world, the Force have been trying to raise awareness to the shite from ARU for years, and been brushed off, so now your team is in trouble? Well HELLO! Eastern States just discovered cronyism!!!

On another subject, a public service announcement: for those that care, 7TWO are now replaying the Shute Shield game of the week Sunday mornings 4am to 6am (only shown live in Sydney on Saturdays).

Also available via the Plus 7 app a few days later.

The replay is also shown on 7TWO through Foxtel. Which presumably means that it is available everywhere on Foxtel throughout Australia. (The live telecast is only on FTA except in NSW, maybe the ACT).


So we cannot record the live telecast on our IQ box, we have to watch it live on FTA, or wait for the replay, which we do record on our IQ box (we live in SE Qld now).


Hope that makes sense.

Yes, the Sunday morning 4am to 6am replay is nationwide.

Not really important Wam, but FTA channels are only available through Fox where the service is provided by cable. Where it comes via satellite, as it is in Canberra, ABC and SBS are the only FTA channels who provide a service on Fox.

So 2 out of 3 back row from Sat are not touring, add three more injured in the back row. Can we not fly Colby back and fourth?

Good to see Tupai in the squad, though, I was impressed with him during last season for the Rising. Tough assignment for him if he debuts in Sth. Africa, though!

 

[Rebels3]

Seany is looking to get back after Africa. Jordi is getting around fine but the nature of the injury is that it'd be a little bit silly to get back quickly. No actual date on his return, it's just a week by week.

 

[Highlander35]

3 debutants, and at least one starter against the Shorks then by my count.

Haangana will have to be on the bench as a reserve lock, while one of Tupai/Sinclair/Miller will have to start alongside Mafi and probably Schatz, and another on the bench.

On the trip to Africa it's a good opportunity to play miller, who has been carving it up at Shute level. We really need to target the kings match, if we can possibly win that then I'd be confident we won't be bottom of the aus conference come season end, purely on the fact we would of had 4 of our 5 nz completed and our African tour. Bit sad that your ultimate aim is to not finish last haha

 

[swingpass]

you'd think Mafi, Schatz, and Sinclair to start and Tupai on the bench

I think for the sharks game we will probably see schatz at 6, with miller at 7 and mafi 8.

Jordy is not allowed to run for 4-6 weeks

I wish I had that imposed upon me!

His issue is the Rebels have 3 excellent 7s and often run all 3 of them in the match day 23 and sometimes in the 15 (McMahon, Reid, Fainga'a).

We'll probably trigger a rebuild post season and he'll get a chance.

 

[RebelYell]

How long until Sam Jeffries is back? He's been sorely missed this year, just as he was starting to deliver on his potential...

Also, Meehan & Pat are clearly on the shit list for some reason. Does anybody know if they played for Box Hill on the weekend (or in fact any Rebels who did)?

 

[Highlander35]

Dewar Shield had a bye.
