Rebels 2023

[Tex]

Yeah not sure why unlocking the wingers is the big issue when we're talking about a man who breaks the line at ease.

 

[Proud Pig]

I am also not sure we have the wingers to unlock.
AK (Andrew Kellaway) is your classic super professional mistake free type winger but not exactly a line breaker.
Vaihu and Worth haven't shown enough to make me feel that they can be released either.

'They're going to get some big names': Rebels will chase Wallaby and All Black stars

With the traditional big three clubs back to strength in the Australian conference, the Reds, the Brumbies and the Waratahs, the Rebels are looking to chase 'three or four big names' to get back into contention.

Wouldn’t knock back Tupou but I do value loyalty and would like to see him stay at the Reds I feel Kerevi would be a huge get.

TJ I am not sure the validity of that but he would offer some experience and leadership. Especially if To'omua is done after the head knocks TJ at 9 and Kerevi at 12 would be huge to support Gordon at 10.

Is there substance to Horan’s comment? I thought it was an off the cuff comment that gained unwarranted traction.

Not sure, think Kerevi is a big chance as he is reported to have a good relationship with Nick Styles. Unfortunately I think it would be a one year deal to be WC eligible.

Where are they getting the money for this?

 

[Derpus]

A non-passing Kerevi is infinitely better than the military medium centres currently playing for the Rebels.

He was passing just fine last year.

Same place the Storm did?

 

[Derpus]

They'd be better off without TJ Perenara, too.

He said a scrumhalf “like TJ Perenara”. Not actually him. Well, that’s how I read it.

Bring Isaac Lucas back! I heard he's playing well in Japan and he will be elegible for them in a couple of years.

Rebels should target Aussie players playing overseas to strenght the Wallabies. Not neccesary the big names, spend a lot of money in an AB like TJ Perenara is a waste. Spend that money in Adam Coleman or someone like him

Then could sign a Storm winger that isn't an chronically injured like Vunivalu and is elegible for international duties

Look I agree but most players who have gone overseas won’t want to take a pay cut. I feel like Kerevi is only considering it as it guarantees his WC selection

But a franchise player like TJ Perenara is not gonna play for free. If u gonna spend a HUGE amount for him, spend that HUGE amount for someone who's elegible for the national team

News Corp are paying?

 

[Rebel man]

No more a joke about brown paper bags and two sets off books

Look I do agree, I am not a fan of foreign players getting a game while we are limited to picking the wallabies from the 5 super sides

Get Tawera Kerr-Barlow home from La Rochelle, Wallabies eligible and an All Black scrumhalf, satisfies everyone.

Right - so he’s wallaby eligible now isn’t he?

 

[Dctarget]

I'd assume so, hasn't played All Blacks since 2017. He is 31 though and getting minted at La Rochelle.
