Rebels 2017

[GoMelbRebels]

they'd still be only 1 and 3

i found myself in the same situation, glad that the Cru, Clan and Jaguares all won

But better than 0 and 4!

 

[Rebels3]

As far as I am concerned we are 0 from 1 as the other aus teams most likely will go 0 from 3 against kiwi teams

Keen to know the injury list for this week, because I'm a sucker for punishment. Lots of boys going off vs the Tahs and I'm pretty sure you can add Harley Fox to that list. He lasted 2 minutes for PH vs Rams at Keys Rd. Sounds like he got his foot caught in a sprinkle hole and something didn't sound right as a result.

Get through this week, have the bye and then we can potentially have Smith, Timani and McMahon back, plus hopefully Day playing more than 1min. Should also have at least 1 more lock back by then.

A team of

Smith
Hanson
Weekes
Day
Jeffries
Timani
McMahon
Mafi
Stirzacker
Naivalu
Hodge
English
Koribete
J Deb

is a very handy super rugby team.

Bachop hasn't been brilliant by any means, but to replace him with no one is harsh, surely

Gents word is Force are the team to get the chop.

Serious and genuine commiserations to all their fans, what a bullshit situation.

Relieved is an understatement.

Still nothing official. The word "understands" still throws some doubt over it, but fark me, this is not good for the players, staff, members and fans.

Very specific detail in the article re. dates for the Saffer decision, although that may be in the public domain, treatment of contracted players and the flexibility to the higher profile guys.

Yes, most specific info to date. I will only believe for sure when it is an official release from the ARU.

 

[Tex]

I want to believe it we have a team!

 

[GoMelbRebels]

I want to believe it!

Ditto.

If this is true (and Panda is usually one of the reliable ones)...

As a Rebels fan, absolute fucking relief.

As an Australian Rugby fan, I'm gutted. I feel for everyone associated with the Force and WA rugby. No one wins in this situation. This will fuck Australian Rugby for years to come, and the West will never forgive. Ever.

But, once again, we must wait for the Saffa bandwagon to get it's act together. An absolute disgrace a decision is taking this long.

Nobody wins, some people just "don't lose".

Never truer words.

I wouldn't be against all 4 teams taking a game to WA to keep the game alive. But would never happen.

And would WA fans want that? Take their team but let them watch the ones that survived.

 

[Tex]

It'll be like the old Fitzroy and South Melbourne fans who turned off completely from AFL after their teams merged north.

 

[swingpass]

much and all as i hope this is true, i suggest we all wait until official release.

I am one of those. Was gutted when the 'Roys got booted, never transitioned to the Brisbane Lions.

Probably not but it's as good as it would get. What a shitty situation!

Haha. I guess we need a 10
