So, a GAGR Gaggle will attend. Has someone organised the “pancakes the donkey” merchandise?

I have rsvp’d but will depend on work and touch footy

 

[Blackadder]

michael ruru is rumored to have signed with the rebels

 

[Highlander35]

Not against it in any way, but hope Stirzaker has found a good overseas deal if it is the case.

when i looked at the the Rebel's player profiles yesterday there were 45 "little pictures" and a few names/faces not there, who are currently training as far as i can make out. that's a very big list to choose from.

Well, Michael Ruru’s name is in the team list, so probably count him as signed.

How many players do we need? 23 from the Rebels last year and 22 new players. That is a @#$@ing huge squad (of course we probably used that in 2017)

45 is big yes.

But when I look at those lovely player profiles, there is:

Shipperley
Ha'angana*
Paisami*
Jordy
Ruru
Fou
Tupou*
Moloney
Hosea*

For mine the starred boys will definitely be on partnership/development contracts rather than full ones.

And I've not seen any official confirmation one way or the other on the rest, albeit near confirmed rumours along the lines of Jordy leaving and Ruru coming are in place.

Perhaps they're saving some news for tonight's event?

I was thinking the same thing, but the website person looks to have jumped the gun.

That would be the cherry on top. The cherry. Cherry. On top? No?

If the squad on the website is correct the team is made up of

27 x Rebels/Rising
12 x Force
1 x Reds
1 x Waratahs
1 x Stade Francais
1 x Exeter
1 x Aus 7s
1 x Shute Shield

Going to be interesting to see the team with so many changes. Exciting tho, too bad the season is only 15 games, some guys are going to not play much this coming year apart from some Rising games.

Actually back to 16 Super Rugby games from 2018. Some will play Dewar Shield too, but yes, not many will play!
