Rebels 2021

[GoMelbRebels]

Magnay re-signs for 2 more years.

Good news - I feel he was starting to make a positive impact (when he wasn't injured).

Magnay re-signs for 2 more years.

Great news - still only 23, plenty of time to develop

23! Impressive, he's been around since a youngster then. I thought he'd be 25 at least.

He signed a full reds contract whilst in school and played the next year.

Last week I recieved my pledge pin from the Rebels. Very nice.

This week I recieved a second one. I only have the one membership to pledge.

Maybe the unpaid intern felt I needed two for nipple peircings.

[Adam84]

He has, hence trying to get the list updated

 

[Rebels3]

Others needed to be assigned as staying or going are

Lachie Anderson ????
Efi Ma’afu ???
Jeral Skelton - pretty sure signed, there is a Rebels article saying he’s signed in mid year but no contract length on it
Tom Pincus ???
Charlie Abel ???

 

[Mr Wobbly]

Any word on Koegelenberg?

I assume that lock has left the flock?

Article suggesting Koroibete might be released a year early, received a big money offer from Japan and will save RA some cash to let him go

He’d be silly to turn dow 3 mil. From a Wallabies perspective, at least we could get him back under the new rules. Tough for the Rebels though.

We aren't exactly flush with wingers and he saved a few games last season. He'd leave a big hole.

 

[Up the Guts]

No denying it’d be a huge loss for the Rebels but if we can’t afford him better he goes to Japan than to League.

 

[Mick The Munch]

I wonder if it's a short term deal until the new SRau?

Not flush, but not exactly struggling either.
I think for 2021 they have Daugunu, Vunivalu, Wright and Ramm all signed.

Koiroibete is obviously worth his weight, id he interested to see what the difference between his current contract and offered contract is.
