Rebels 2023

[Rebel man]

yeah if healthy, I reckon he walks right into Dave Rennies wallabies team. But Rennie would want to see some club footy action first so Horsea needs to be fit for that to happen.

Look I rate his potential hugely. Was so disappointed to hear he got injured and I know him being a bigger lad the healing process in the foot will take longer. But is it normal for it to take this long?

Hasn't played in 12 months, dont think Wallabies is going to happen this year

well it is a bit dependent on what the injury was, if it was a Lisfranc fracture that needed surgery not uncommon for 3 - 5 months recovery and in a sportsman of his size probably longer, so say minimum 6 months.

I am pretty sure they said it was a lisfranc fracture. The worry more is they said he would be available for super rugby by the end of the home and away season and we are almost two months on and he hasn’t even had a club game. Just hope primarily for his sake he is healing well

This injury can take forever to heal and is different in everyone. Tedious rehab that can be re aggravated and needs to be treated as a soft tissue almost.

The big fella has such a high ceiling on his play.

I do find it odd that they keep training despite no games for 6 months

After the season they had they should be doing nothing else....

I’d expect them to be having 5 day a week contact with the club for 10.5 months a year.

Does highlight how ridiculously short the Aus season is

It’s their job. Some are playing club, some in rehab, some definitely need the work

If they don't we would sit here and keyboard smash them for showing up unfit next year.

I get that just would like to see them playing some games. I don’t have the answers I get that

Victorians Josh Canham, Isaac Kailea, Divad Palu have re-signed. Leafi Talatina has been promoted to the club side. Theo Fourie and Jaiden Christian have also re-signed.

That makes 7 Victorian players in the Rebels squad (with Uelese, Hosea & Leota).

 

[RugbyReg]

Theo Fourie isn’t a Victorian is he?

I suspect those that are fit to play are, the longterm injured are still rehabbing and one or two, eg Ioane need an enormous amount of fitness work to get up to Super standard. I think the program varies, but mon to friday they are employed by the Rebs and so train in melb. One or two are back in NZ playing NPC i assume.

No he's not. The Victorians are Josh Canham, Isaac Kailea, Divad Palu and Leafi Talatina.
