Well I will say I would be surprised if Rebels win this, and that allowing for how buggered I think the Crusaders will be after last week. I am afraid to say I don't really rate the Rebels and haven't all year.

About 99.9% of Gaggers would agree with you. Despite the exhaustion, the Rebels won't even get close. Hardest thing for tipping this game is getting the margin correct.

 

[Rebel man]

Na stuff you all my Rebels will put 50 on them

 

[Marce]

Saders by 300, sorry for that lol

I think Foster will be particularly interested in how Goodhue goes at 12 (he played him there in 2020).

REBELS (1-15): Cameron Orr, James Hanson, Cabous Eloff, Matt Philip, Josh Hill, Rob Leota, Brad Wilkin, Michael Wells (c), James Tuttle, Matt To'omua, Glen Vaihu, Stacey Ili, Andrew Kellaway, George Worth, Reece Hodge

RESERVES: Efi Ma'afu, Matt Gibbon, Rhys Van Nek, Josh Canham, Tamati Ioane, Sam Wallis, Joe Powell, Carter Gordon

Good to see Leota back. Don't think he'll be able to stop the massacre though. Our scrum will be monstered and our backs are looking particularly subpar too. Jolly good.

Is Trevor Hosea alive?

Is Trevor Hosea alive?

Apparently he & Pone are a week or two off.

Rebels will be wearing their ANZAC day jersey this weekend with the Shrine on the front. Not awful but bit messy with all the sponsors.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

What the hell has happened to rugby jerseys.

Those things look like racing cyclists shirts.

 

[KiwiM]

I look forward to the kit clash when Crusaders roll out in their away white strip.

It’s a Crusaders home match, officially, guess they’ll be in home strip

Is Trevor Hosea alive?

Unfortunately broke his foot the week before the season started. Might get a few games in at the end of the season but also a chance of missing the entire season.

 

[Rebel man]

Have not been able to go yet in super round but will I have to buy a ticket tomorrow or will my membership work?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

This is shaping up to be a massacre. Looking at the two lineups, the Cantabs only need to play to their potential for 20 minutes to be well ahead on the scoreboard. What happens if they go berko for the full 80.

Mounga has had a subdued season and will be looking to finally cut loose some jinky capers on some poor buggers.

On behalf of the Blues organisation, and the computations of home advantage in the playoffs, I stand behind the brave and true Melbourne Rebels as they attempt to destroy the heart of The Death Star armed with little more than 1 half-smashed light sabre found lying unloved and unkempt in a box in a garage in St Kilda.

Spotlight On: Richie Mounga's Defense

Technical Conclusion: well, that was a thing wasn't it.

Not sure who the other team in blue are but their brave and sturdy lads seem to have something about them.....
