Rebels 2021

[Dctarget]

Also says fullback George Worth has signed with us from England, 24 years old and played 62 times for Leicester Tigers.

You want to go 2-1 after to opening weeks ultimately we would want to be 1-1 in the opening 2 weeks and would expect to beat the force

I like your confidence!

I am in no way confident the Force would beat the Rebels but there wasn't much between the two sides last season are arguably:
- The Force squad is now stronger/has more depth.
- Between injuries and departures, the Rebels squad is weaker/has less depth.
- It is a home game for the Force where last season's games were at neutral venues.

On the other hand, the Force are supremely talented at throwing away games we should win. Could go either way.

I’m expecting the Rebels and Force to share a home win each.

Damn that's a big injury ward.
Front row is being battered.

Uelese, Van Nek, Gibbon, Orr. Also Naisarani, DHP, Skelton, Magnay, Tuqiri.

Also makes a few people look silly from comments last week of Rebels guys going down.

The positive news is that Sordoni, Callas and Hanson should be onboard.

Uelese can’t cop a break (pardon the pun)

 

[Forcefield]

I'd be happy to share a home win each.

Yes, poor Uelese- Why is it that often the most talented ones are the most injury prone?

 

[swingpass]

additionally we signed Vudogo and Tonomaipea as outside backs and Holland, so why did they pick Illi in the XV and Lomani as the third back replacement ?

Still it’s a must win game this week. I think the club has mismanaged players Naisarani being one as he had his surgery very late in the pre season. Get that stuff done ASAP

Have to be ambitious, no disrespect meant to your side at all

Claims he is an Aussie citizen but his wiki page said he is born there.

 

[Mick The Munch]

Where are these two, was thinking that last week?

Surely they give Gordon a crack off the bench

Maybe waiting for the Force or 'Tahs.

Can’t disrespect a side by giving kids a game against them. Last thing we want to to drop one we should win. He will earn his spot when he is ready

There's been a bit of talk from Wessels about he's been learning so much and really didn't know much a few years ago when he started at the Rebels and what a journey it's been. Very cute but I don't want my team to spend 5 years so a coach can improve himself and it ticked me off a bit. Buuuuuut these two last weeks, I've been much more impressed with Wessels. He's got his worst roster since he started yet they look better drilled than the past. Me thinks he is improving as a coach. Though we are still 0 & 2 so can't praise too much without a win.

Every coach learns on the job

0-2, two very winnable games lost. Very disappointing

I bloody love this team!
