Massive loss losing Luke Jones... Not just for the Rebels, but the Wallabies

Gutted. Thought with the departure of Dave Dennis he may have seen a long-term future on OZ, Still, being overlooked for even the prelim RWC squad probably was the final straw. Also has a new family to think about now.
Good luck to the big man. He's put in some stellar efforts for us.

That's a really, really, shit buzz. He must have been massively frustrated. Not sure what more he could have done to push his claims.
Don't blame him but this is one that really hurts. Hopefully he goes out with a bang.

Good Luck to Luke , after a great super rugby season to be ranked by Cheika as say the 7th or 8th choice in the lock stakes for the Wallabies beggared belief , and wonder if the Rebels management made a low ball bid based on his love of life in Melbourne thinking he would go nowhere with a little one on the way ... If it were me at 24 mmmn the Paris end of Collins Street or Paris ? I'll take Paris !

Good luck to him. Double his earnings and live in France for a few years, tough life!
I hope he and PAE treat it as a sabbatical and come back to Aus in the near future.
In other positive news McMahon will skipper us against Samoa. Management obviously realise he's a future foundation of the club and hot property on the market.

Stirz was at the Super Rugby launch this morning, looked like a few of the other states sent their captains to represent them.

It's very telling Stirzy was at the launch... or was it?

Maybe, although the Rebels might've sent him because he's injured and the rest of the squad are preparing for a trial tomorrow...........
The Tahs sent Palu because their squad is in NZ.
Three out of five in fact. Lilo (co-caption), Hodgo and Slipper. Palu is more like a father figure, so he didn't seem out of place there.
This feels weird to say, but I find myself agreeing with Slim here - don't think it's a real indication of the 2016 Captain. Still, he's my choice to lead the side.

he was captain of the Aus U20's last world championship, apart from that i don't know if he has any other captaincy experience

I do like Sean's attitude, he seems to be very unselfish and lifts any team. Even when he wasn't playing in Wallabies games at the RWC he was pushing everyone in training. Not bad for a young guy, though youth may be against him here... for now.

As good a place as any to post this I suppose. Congrats due to Luke Jones and his wife Maddie. Their new baby, Mia, was born today!
