    Rebels 2014

    Well, its early in the season but already we have news that Phipps is off to the Waratahs in 2014 (and Burgess to the Rebels), so I figured we should have an appropriate thread to discuss such matters. Credit to Qwerty51 for the reference to his departure...

    Rebels 2013

    2013 is shaping up to be a very significant year for the Rebels. It will be the year that will see the departure of many of the players hired at the inception of the franchise. Already we have heard that Delve and Cipriani are returning overseas; I suspect they will not be the only ones. Trade...

    Rebels 2012

    Well, with the news that Kurtley Beale is coming down to Melbourne we really do have some concrete matters to discuss regarding the Rebels 2012 team. Which other players are likely? How are we going to keep some of the great young players we've unearthed? Who are we going to get rid of...

    Rebels vs Highlanders - AAMI Park - 2011R09

    There's been a lot of discussion about the other games but next to nothing about the Rebels vs the Highlanders. From my perspective, this has the potential to be a right cracker of a game. Surprisingly, a lot of commentators have been talking up the Rebels which probably isn't entirely...

    The Number Eight Situation.

    Okay, assuming that Palu has seriously done his knee (which is looks like he has). Australia finds itself needing a new number eight. However, watching tonight's Brumbies game, I am more and more and more coming around to the idea of Elsom as a number 8. He was dynamic with the ball in hand...
