Haha. Jokes aside, I rate this guy for the value of the contract he'd be on. Always wondered why Aussie Super Rugby teams signed blokes like Garden-Bachop with him running around in Sydney for pennies. Wouldn't take much.
That being said, Garden-Bachop was very good this NPC.

Goes to show that you can have a great 10 but if it doesn't fit the back-line and game plan or you can have a great back-line and game plan with a 10 that doesn't fit. A lesson we need to learn here in Australia.
I think Adams might just fit with Wessels at the helm but it might take some time to get it all to gel.

Pre-season officially starts today for the Melbourne Rebels. Time to gear up for a huge 2018 in Super Rugby.
It’s going to be an epic year, lads. Once the Rebel Wallabies return, I’m going to drop into a few training sessions to see what structure and positions Wessels is toying with. That will be pretty exciting stuff.
Practice games in the new year will also have huge interest from the fan base.
Ah, only 100 (or so) days to go. Love this.

Only if you look after it. I'm not dealing with donkey poo through the house.
Time to focus on the positives and block out the yapping. To that end, we still haven't done meat and beers, to formally celebrate the rebirth of our beloved team. Shall we wrap that into pre-Chrissy Melbourne GAGR drinks?
Who is interested?

Jeeeeeesus the Rebels are assembling a stacked team.
1 Ainsley
2 Uelese
3 Weeks
4 Parling
5 Coleman
6 Timani
7 Hardwick
8 Mafi
9 Genia
10 Lance
11 Koroibete
12 Hodge
13 Meakes
14 Naivalu
15 DHP
16 Faulkner
17 Hanson
18 Talakai
19 Phillip
20 Fainga'a
21 Stirzacker
22 Adams
23 Maddocks
With the following not utilised: Daley, RHP, McGregor, English, Shipperly, Hutchison, Fou, Cummins, Leota, Jeffries, Toolis, Goddard, Horwitz, Tupilotu, + all the u20s players you blooded in the NRC (e.g. Tupou who looked very handy).
If Lance doesn't sign (it's looking less and less likely), you'd expect Adams to start at 10 and Horwitz to come onto the bench at 22 to cover 10, 12 and 13 at a touch. Absolutely nuts.

Gut feeling is that that is nearly the final squad Reg. If we aren't getting Lance, I have a feeling Worcester would have signed him up already: he's an improvement on Heathcote.
Coleman is yet to be confirmed as well, but can't see him going anywhere else.
Some on here have put Cummo on a 2.5/3 year European deal. Wouldn't be surprised if true.
And I'd imagine some non-pro backrower in the Group (Local or otherwise) will pick up a full time contract as well: 6 is just a little bit light for my tastes, even if guys like Toolis and Philip can fill in at Blindside if necessary.
