Rebels 2019

[Getwithme]

Slipper is most likely to head to the Brumbies

Which would probably leave Faulkner & Saaga to fight out for the 1/17 position

 

[Rebel man]

We should be disappointed if we don’t top the Aus conference this year

Jones is a lock who can play 6 in a pinch.

The wallabies need him at lock not at backrow.

Especially with Dempsey and naisarani being available for the wallabies next year.

Also we have the raining rupa 6 on the team in Cottrel

To be fair you should’ve been disappointed this year.

some of us were !

on the bright side, either of those line ups will stop the east coast Force sarcasm / sniping

 

[Pone's Mullet]

Not sure how I feel about that. We do need a decent flyhalf and do believe QC (Quade Cooper) has matured, just still burnt from the JOC (James O'Connor) and KB (Kurtley Beale) experience.

Agreed, but worth the risk I think, plus he'll be trying even harder to keep his nose clean with it being world cup year

I was very disappointed to miss finals, we can not repeat that. I don’t care that we haven’t played finals before we have to demand success anything but should be considered a fail.

Probably not.

Jones is a 6 who plays lock, never should have been left in the 2nd row. Wallabies have not had a decent 6 since Fardy left and need to get a balanced back row.

He was put at lock due to a lack of locks. One of the problems with Australian Rugby - robbing Peter to pay Paul. It’s just filling gaps.

 

[Strewthcobber]

He's played lock almost exclusively in France as well

Salary cap anyone?

Salary cap anyone?

Yeah, we just lost 2 marque players plus, Colby, Jordy, JD, Shipperly, Hutchinson, Pau. On the back of McMahon, Stirzaker, Smith, Inman, Placid to name a few from last season.

Can we put a pinned post about the salary cap at the top of the page so we can skip these weekly inquests?

No thanks, I’ve already eaten, but thanks for offering.

Great news, although i suspect the 1 year deal indicates hes considering heading north after the world cup or even back to league.

 

[Mr Wobbly]

Good! By my reckoning that just leaves Rangi, Jeffries, and English from this year still in limbo.
