I read this morning on the Union Live app's news feed that Ellison may miss the game as he wife is overdue with their fourth. If so, Sione to step into 12 - who to the bench then?

I think we should stick with a more conventional 4-3 split. We are slightly weakened int the backline, so depth there will be important.

Why is Hodge playing 13 with Sefa on the wing? This team does so much weird shit.

Whatever, it's good to see Colby back at least. He's been missed.

Fucks sake.

Think we need to be talking with the British and Irish Clubs about bringing someone over. Bottom 8 in both leagues have their last games on the ~7th of May, so there'd be enough time.

Bring in Stacey Ili - worth a run after his NRC effort.

While you're not wrong, if we could bring in a Super Rugby Standard player, even just on a 12 week loan (Say, Maitland or Tikoirotuma from London Irish, or a number of others), I think it would be a good thing for our season.

Could of course be that nobody would want to, or it could be exorbitantly expensive. But a few not-nots named did pop into my head, and they would potentially be looking to offload a few players being in the Championship for next season, and those boys would probably like to put their name in the shop window.

Oh, another Queenslander playing for the Rebels. Waiting for Reg to fire up....

Happy enough with that. We were always light on going into the season for playmakers if any two of Hodge, Harris, Hawkins and Hdebreczeni (the H is silent) went down, and we've spent good periods with just that happening.

Is he the ranga who was tossed to the wolves a few years back? If he's the one I'm thinking of the times really are pretty desperate.

Hodge has been one of the few things to like about the rebels this year, he is developing nicely. Still a bit rough round the edges and prone to a few mistakes and misreads but has real potential i reckon.

This has been an exciting end to the half. Bad luck with that last strike but Rebels should feel a bit of a momentum shift. 10-14 Cheetahs

Is there a positivity pledge for this game I missed. Even the serial rebels bagga Galamuy had something positive to say. That mas the worst shyte we have served up for a while. There is no tempo in us and the cheetahs have been woeful. We should be 20 up if we play to potential. It seems like which team will not lose. Thank God's for our front row, McMahon, Hodge and Sega. The rest really need to step up.

I am going to resort to the bar to get me through the next half but let's hope it is the half we actually play.
