From this week's Dewar Shield Preview:
Apparently the bloke's an absolute athlete that was mostly hindered by injury. At 24, and with 6 Super rugby games, he's worth an EPS spot. Probably no more though thanks to our recent spate of signings.
Still, wonder what he's doing down here. And furthermore, what came of that John Uglia thing at
House a few weeks back?

A bit harsh, surely the Reds are Queensland C this year, after all the Rebels will have beaten them home and away by next Friday night

Apparently the Rebels are changing their name to the REDels
The question is, will you blokes complain about this (or for as long) as you complained about the Force?

Lots of players play for Queensland.

I read something about this the other day. Might have been in a Rugby Heaven article? It was actually about Bob Dwyer and his mates buying the 'Tahs and, almost as an aside, it briefly mentioned the ARU were talking to another private equity group about the Rebels.
I thought the Rebels were owned by the VRU and would be theirs to sell.

No, the private owners handed it back to the ARU.
The Rebels are now included in the ARU Balance Sheet & P & L.

Dunno how I'd feel about it. There's something more attractive about the Irish model rather than private owners.
Anyone know why/ how Cummins has been announced as EPS? They are not meant to be announced until September.
Ben Meehan has also resigned for 2 years. Unless they've decided who they're cutting I reckon they are way over subscribed. I smell something fishy ....
Particularly if it's ARU funding (as paid from clubs across Australia) it all. But something ain't quite right here.

27 Plus 4 EPS is within the allowances. That leaves 4 spots to fit in the 7 unconfirmed. But I also heard the foreign marquee is a 31st man so it's 5 spots.
3 of that list have been with them a couple of years and got minimal to no game time so will likely not be re-signed.

Reg, is this to prevent players being snapped up on EPS contracts and when other teams may want them for a full contract, thus it not being able to be finalized until full squads are?
Would an EPS signing then perhaps be subject to receiving another offer prior to this date?
