Rebels 2020

[Rebels3]

What about Mahe Vailanu? I cant believe he isnt in a Super Rugby program.

Been a breakout year for him in SS. Would be pretty close to player of the season if it finished now.

I understand he’s heading to the US at seasons end, no idea on length or if that’s 100% confirmed.

Went through a very similar path to Paisami, hopefully he gets the same 2nd opportunity.

With DC at the LA Giltinis I heard. Not sure when their season starts/finishes. Could potentially play in a semi professional comp then come home into a fully professional one with a super team.

Hope this ain't any of us lads. I appreciate the support for Rebels last game of the season but probably can drop the supporters jersey when you're throwing out Sieg Heils.

Deck the prick.

Great outcome this afternoon. I won't hear a single bad word about it, fumbles and fuck ups and all. Looking forward to the Reds next week!

 

[Rebels3]

We all understand it’s making the finals in a 5 team comp, but to me it’s about the club been exposed to high pressure games so they aren’t deers in the headlights when they do play them. Just been involved in any sort of finals should help the club and players learn how to handle them. Only positives can come from it.

This can be applied to any of the other Aus teams

So who is our bench scrum half next week?

I haven’t seen anything to suggest Strang is with the squad, but then again it would make sense to have had him there the last couple of months

Genia?

 

[Scooter]

Genia?

Dctarget I like your thinking.

How good would it be if a Reds legend came off the bench for the Rebels and in the last 20 or 25 minutes stuck a dagger into the Red's heart?

Just slipped into a world of a fantasy.

 

[Wilson]

Genia?

Pretty sure he headed back to Japan and into quarantine late last week. Best bet at this stage is probably sorting out an injury loan from the Force or Waratahs.

How does that work, just out of interest? Presumably they couldn't borrow a front line player like Gordon or Prior, does it have to be someone outside the regular 23?

I have no idea if there is a provision for it or rules around it, but given the bubble setup the other squads would be the only place to look. Prior or Gordon wouldn't be a great look, but the most important part is probably that the borrowed player can only come off the bench for them, not start. As long as that's the case I'd be fine with it I think.

Yes, me too. Mitch Short would be a good option.

Fuck it, get Gordon. Let's get Hunt, Dempsey, Maddocks & Hooper. Throw Beale a call and see if he's in the country.

Give Beale a call, no thanks. Well past it, Waratahs improved exponentially when he left.

And Beale will just punch our captain. Again.

It’s important psychologically for the Rebels. Now they have made finals they know they can in future. Wish the same thing happened with a win in South Africa. That boat has now sailed, unfortunately.

 

[RebelYell]

Strang will be on the bench, surely

 

[Rebels3]

4 Rebels in the ch.7 club game tomorrow, might be worth a watch.

Syd Uni - Declan Moore at hooker and Kemeny playing 7
Randwick - Eloff at TH and Skelton playing 8.

Easy way to watch is dl the 7plus app.
