If we retain some players we could have a very good pack next year

Eloff/Orr
Hanson/Uelese
Fa’amasuili
Philip
Hosea
Kemeny
Hardwick
Naisarani

That’d be the best Rebels pack ever

Over the moon with Philip’s return. Also, happy that it validates Rebels culture a bit. Had many people come & go and not too many return.

Hosea & Philip might be the two starting Aus locks, not too shabby.

That'd be a great pack. Most other teams would be jealous of that.

You are forgetting Leota and Willkin both good enough to start in their own right

Rob Leota is not starting ahead of any of them. You could argue that Wilkin could be at 6 but Kemeny has come on leaps & bounds this season.

Wells is prob too good to not start with his stats this year, but IMO he just doesn't hit the line like Isi

Do we know if we're keeping either of Wells or Naisarani?

Edit: Wells is here for next year. No news on Naisarani.

He has bench options listed for other positions

I just thought those positions were here nor there in selections. The other positions to me are clear when they are on form.
Fair call, I was just furthering you point that the pack won’t fall away with injuries or when the replacements come on

At full strength you would assume Isi plays 8 & either Wilkin, Kemeny or Leota plays 6 (none of them are jacklers like Hardwick)

So you would say Cummins or RHP would be 19 leaving 2 guys fighting out for the 20 jersey unless Leota makes the move to lock full time next season.

Eloff/Orr vs. Toby Smith
Hanson/Uelese vs. Leafa/Shota
Fa’amasuili vs. Weeks
Philip vs. Pyle/Neville
Hosea vs. Jones
Kemeny vs. McMahon
Hardwick vs. Fuglistaller/Fainga'a
Naisarani vs. Higginbotham

That’d be the best Rebels pack ever

2014 just shades it for mine - but definitely very exciting and love the 3 x homegrown players
