[swingpass]

agree this is good financial sense by the Rebels. JD and Adams playing Mitre 10,

Dunno. Could be lock or backrow. You have a look at our locks, and we're fairly stocked there. Coleman and Philip probably the first pick. We do have Big Red, Trev Hosea and Haainga'a available too.

Send one of 'em oop north. Please.

He had a sneaky '#brb' (be right back?) at the end of his twitter post that i saw.

Suntory.


Now, my Japanese is fairly rough, but it's not clear if he's gone for good. The press release is fairly cookie cutter.

Yep, saw that too. 99.99% he'll be back for 2019.

That backrow looks very forceful.

I suspect it’s short term. These deals are a financial win for the Rebels as it means they don’t have to pay salaries during this time. So they are saving bucks on Talakai, RHP and Jeffries.

Anyone else?

Hopefully he can convince Sean to come back!!!

World Cup year and all..........

I read somewhere he was planning to play for the Moondogs next year. Would probably still qualify for RWC as he's playing in the Australian conference.

Joe Barakat leaving the Rebels to be closer to family in Sydney. Thanks for your time down in Melbourne, Joe.

No decision on coach yet, will be made before pre season training (November).

So, who do we go after?

Nick Stiles?

Wouldn’t say “no” to that.

QC (Quade Cooper) back on the table too.

Joe Backerat to join WSR Western Sydney's team perhaps - as said his help is needed elsewhere.....and we do know he has a former force connection..

My money is on this......

Not sure how I feel about that. We do need a decent flyhalf and do believe QC (Quade Cooper) has matured, just still burnt from the JOC (James O'Connor) and KB (Kurtley Beale) experience.
