Not yet. Continued the thread from last time. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/gagr-melbourne-christmas-drinks.15093/ Open to all suggestions for the thread.

Ladies/Gents, obviously pleasing everyone was never going to be easy, so I have made the executive decision to follow a bastardised version of the famous advice - "Build it and they will come. Or not".

So, details of the GAGR (Melbourne Chapter) Christmas Drinks 2017: Crafty Squire Pub, 127 RUSSELL ST, MELBOURNE. Lunch Booking on level 2 for 1:30pm Saturday 16th Dec.

Invite will also go out to Dave Wessels.

I have made an initial booking, but please RSVP on this thread only, so I can get an idea for final head count. Plus, I can weed out the undesirables!

Sorry to hear that Tex, was looking forward to swapping stories. Hopefully next year success will bring more pre-game social activities!

so really interesting watching the vid of the Rebels forwards training under Joe Barakat today. Lots of wider training group (red tops) including Angus Cottrel and Kane Koteka., lots of other unfamiliar faces and names too. The Rebellious Force must have about 50+ on their books. One assumes that the ARU is picking up the tab for all the ex Force players without a new franchise.

yeh well that's it, I'm pretty sure they still get paid/paid out and so can still train with the rebels. I imagine quite a few will wait for Super Rugby and/or the northern comps to end so they can find new homes as it was all a bit too late for them to look elsewhere

I know Ed Jenkins (Randwick 2nd Rower, 1st grade) is down there on a short-term contract whilst Parling / Coleman are away from the squad.

To have opposed rolling mauls as in the video they probably simply need the numbers.

Such a crazy time of the year! I'll make sure I pull my finger out and come down for a Friday warm up in 2018.

Raru signs. That has got to be the final nail for Stirzaker.

From captain to not good enough to make the extended squad, in a matter of weeks. Ouch.

Still, having said that, and not wanting to walk over the guy, that is a good thing for us.

Sorry, GMR is out for this one. Enjoy, lads!

I'm sure Stirzaker will complete his law degree at an ivy league college and go on to a long and successful career, and good luck to him. A few seasons of professional rugby as a young man would give you memories and connections for life.

 

[RugbyReg]

he was born in England wasn't he?

To SAF parents? Has he played 7s at all?

Qualification for England has appeal surely. Perhaps less so SAF

although trumpeted today on the Rebs website, it is not especially new news, given his photo has been up on the players list for several weeks

And they told the faithful at the Town Hall, when questioned about the very same image.

You know the story, its never official until it's on social media!

Ruru's signing has really just moved Stirzaker's planning a few months forward for mine: will not be surprised to see Goddard be Genia's backup by seasons end.

Not quite sure I understand. If Ruru's signing means Stirzacker is on the outer, doesn't that mean Ruru is the designated back-up?
