Rebels 2019

We’ll take him.

Not the only team to do this. Gives a good, young, talented player an opportunity to start a fair few games, make a few bucks and continue his development in a professional set up. I think more clubs should be willing to do this for our younger guys who aren't getting a go. A 'loan' system. Rob Leota could do with it as well. Great idea.

Brilliant Idea and hopefully will be embraced by other Super clubs, RA and JLeague clubs. I read the other day that NZ see Japan as the lesser evil, and using it, rather than losing players for good into the French or English leagues.
Potentially another valid RA pathway, keep talent in the game, share the cost.

ATM RA have an active policy against this and punish anyone (contractual monetary limits) that does it and returns, unless they are deemed golden enough.

Nic Henderson and Geoff Parling signed as coaches for 2019

I thought the more pertinent news was Todd Louden was back as coaching coordinator.

 

[Rebelsfan]

good news for the coaching team

Indeed! I missed that footnote. Good news.

 

[swingpass]

actually really great news. a master tactician and coach. i think he was the reason for the 2015 run not Totality Tony.

 

[AFL_Converted]

Ah yes, the "family reasons" he left for. ie didn't like the head of the rebels family

Note the presser with Quade yesterday.


Anyone see the new sponsor logo on the wall? Good times ahead?

 

[GingerBreadCrab]

I'm more astounded at how BLK stick around like that stain on the toilet that just won't come off

I note that PwC isn't listed on the Partners page, but it appears Legacy Property group is no longer there.

Looks like ASIC are striking out LPG from the register. It's also noticeably absent from any of their kit.

Good signing

Have been major sponsor of the Irish u21s for a while now.

Really looking forward to seeing how Quade is able to re-build for professional rugby. Last year may well have extended his career.

Go Rebels!

CALLED IT!!!!


Presser describes the relationship as a "partnership", i.e. no mention of sponsorship.

 

[RugbyReg]

they look thrilled to be a part of it.

Disappointing not for proper sponsorship.

It's a very sad day in Melbourne rugby when the people's champ retires.



Well done on a stellar career, Laurie. We will miss you.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Should not have left the Reds, things were going so well. Congrats on a decent career none the less big boy.

A sad day indeed!

Glad that he will be staying around the club though.
