We'd better just pray it all works out, I mean no players in the past have ever switched between Australian super rugby teams before......

Don't feed the trolls! They're still out there saying the Tahs are the spawn of hell, and that we masterminded the Rebels collapse just to get their players........We'd better just pray it all works out, I mean no players in the past have ever switched between Australian super rugby teams before......

dont think the TAHs are able to mastermind anything. but they are the devil's spawn, you're correct there.
I don't think it will take much more than some injury luck for the Tahs to return to 6th - 8th mediocrity.
In that regard it should be a pretty easy win for McKellar to have a successful first season.

Or maybe for the reasons stated above: they're 1 year contracts because that's what RA had in place at the Rebels.
Maybe they stay on, maybe they don't. It is a win-win for the players given the circumstances.

Will be get on the field? Out with concussion most of this year unless I'm misremembering

Keep Angus Bell on the field, and they could be anything.

Yeah the way Super Rugby is anything from 5th-8th whist finals and I'm sure coaches like saying that is the land or irrelevance. Win your home games and you make it. He'll get a slight bounce out of them and it's more interesting to see how they look towards the end of the year and who they pick up next offseason.
Heaven was sturdy but I really liked what Fonokalifi was doing at the end of last year. Puts absolutely everything into the game and seemed a bit of a brute in the tough stuff.

He was but has been listed for the Rats for a fair few rounds now.
Absolutely. You're still a long way off competing for the title in that range but it's a big improvement on last.
Would be hard to mark the new coach down if they indeed finished in that range in their first year.

Pretty sure Tom R is signed overseas.
only off the bench don’t think he has even been a starter. Hasn’t really lived up to his potential yet in Shute Shield

Or maybe the Rats have too many points on the park and want to abide by the competition rules.... unlike some clubs

Pretty sure Vunipola Fifita played some junior rugby with Easts.

If tahs can get Bell and tupou on the field together in 2025 their scrum could be scary
good picks ups in tupou, Leota, Lancaster along with kellaway and Sua'ali'i allready confirmed

Would be great to get some sort of update on Porecki. A chronic Achilles issue in your 30s doesn't sound ideal.
