Kinda taking the piss kinda not in saying this is what happens when you have 3 scrum half's on the pitch at the same time, they absolutely bomb a try to get bonus point & let 2 tries in.
Pretty impressive defensive performance for 72 min & so good to see Jordy grab a meat pie you could see how much it means to him back at home playing in front of his family.

Just want to give a shout out to the club for the way they promoted the 1st home game, would have been easy just to roll out Marika & Matt To'omua but they really pushed the home grown boys & for the first time in 10 years we are starting to develop our own Identity as a club

Great piece of marketing for burn boys

Thank you, hopefully get a few back after the bye

Hard to see any of those returning players finding it easy to break into the 23 given how current crop of players performing.
Naisarani probably pushing wells to the bench despite one of better performers
Wilkin possibly pushing for bench spot and maybe magnay as well. Rest not sure a spot for them.

Magnay will get a bench spot so we don’t end up running 3 halfbacks off the bench.

Actually you are right as just revisited bench for last game as had yes two half backs plus glen vahui (don’t know much about him but Melbourne born and plays centre / wing. So probably spot for both Magnay and another back (not sure if Skelton and Holland play in backs and would be better then glen)
DHP would of course get bench spot minimum or switch with pincus with latter on bench but i am starting to wonder whether won’t see DHP this season.

Holland was kitted up. Must have been 24th or 25th man

The upside to our injury list has been our depth has grown a lot as a result. I must admit I was worried at the start when I saw our first team sheet but have been plesently surprised. Ili, Anderson and Picus have shown a lot of improve over the first part of the season. I really think this is a well-coached team with (most) everyone buying into the program. I hope there are more Burn Boyz being brought through the Rebels system as this seems to be working well for us and has been noticed outside of Victoria as well.

You would think that Cameron Orr would fit into the 23 most likely at 17, Wilkin at 6 & Isi at 8 leaving Wells/Kemeny/Leota to fight it out for the 20 jersey. RHP would prob just replace Nowlan
Backs
They seem determined to give Skelton a crack & In the Australian its been reported that he has moved from the back row to inside centre. Magney would fit in as well
