[Cancelled Account]

sorry, Mason is the younger brothers

Is this confirmed?

 

[Mr Wobbly]

Is this confirmed?

AFAIK, at this point neither signing has been announced officially.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

We could be the brother club

- Gordon brothers
- Tuipulotu brothers
- Sa’aga brothers
- Uelese brothers
- Haylett-Petty brothers

Or Melbourne Rebels the family club

We could be the brother club

We have a sister too, May Sa'aga

Apparently Young Tonumaipea signed from the Gold Coast Titans.

Apparently Young Tonumaipea signed from the Gold Coast Titans.

He’s a Melbourne boy, but abit off the radar if true.

Apparently Young Tonumaipea signed from the Gold Coast Titans.

Makes a bit of sense, turned down an offer from the Titans with no announcement with another club. He’s a competitor, I don’t know where he would fit in at the Rebels but he does sport a decent stache

He is a wing, Koroibete replacement maybe?

in the loosest sense of the word

 

[Dctarget]

in the loosest sense of the word

And probably a few stricter senses of the word too:

He's a local and the second Melbourne-bred and raised player to make it into the Storm side - Craig Bellamy

The bloke moved from Apia to Melbourne as a young boy.

 

[Silverado]

in the loosest sense of the word

His Wiki says he was born in Samoa and moved to Melbourne at a very young age. Works for me

 

[Rebels3]

As QLD as Will Genia, Samu Kerevi and Liam Wright.

Grew up and educated in Victoria. That’s pretty Victorian to me.

Is a leaguie through and through tho.

 

[GoMelbRebels]

Wouldn't he be a replacement for Semisi Tupou?

 

[The Nomad]

Filth

Surely one Filth is enough.

 

[The Nomad]

Glen Vaihu back in Brisbane playing for Wests .

Any chance he would be back for 2021?

I wasn't claiming them as "Brisbane boys" though...

 

[Rebels3]

I wasn't claiming them as "Brisbane boys" though.

I bet you’d classify them as QLDers tho?

If not fair enough, if so a little hypocritical.

 

[Tex]

in the loosest sense of the word

Reg surely you understand that the rugby community in Melbourne (i.e. those who've bled for the code wayyyy before the Rebels ever came to town) are rightly proud of any and every professional player who learned their football in the clubs and schools down here? I remember following Tamaiti Horua back in high school, only because he was a local.
