Any idea where Hosea is?

I would think his still working his way up to full contact after such a lengthy time off.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Full strength I think. Anyone missing there?View attachment 15264

Would you care to post the team in the match thread?

I would think his still working his way up to full contact after such a lengthy time off.

Odd as there was just an article about him the other day, from the sound of that he seems good to go.

Hosea to help Rebels get off to fast Super Rugby start

Despite still missing some injured Test players, Melbourne are hopeful of getting off to a better Super Rugby Pacific start with lock Trevor Hosea a key.

That sounds like his doing most stuff in training, I doubt they are willing to risk 20 min in a practice game and just holding him off till the start of the season.

I surprised they are starting Hodge in a warm up game, good thing for some experience in the backline around a mainly your side.

Can’t wait for the real stuff to start

The BarTV stream of each trial match today is PPV of $6.95 per match. I remember when things were free. Oh well, might cough up anyway.

 

[Rebel man]

It’s a joke out games are the only ones not on Stan.

I know it's a trial but the close nature of them is encouraging.

 

[Marce]

I'd love to find out how many people actually buy these from BarTV. High Schools & Local Competitions manage to get events on YouTube/Facebook etc but these trials between professional organisations have been put on BarTV (which drops out a lot) and are ppv. It's lazy and does nothing for the supporter.

Should be free on youtube/facebook in order to get more audience, specially the casuals.

 

[GoMelbRebels]

Someone has to pay, I guess but agree for trial matches it is a bit rich to have to PPV. Even the Tahs v Reds trial was on Stan which costs (though many were already paying for this, so not an extra cost like BarTV).

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah the Clubs should do it and pay for their fans stream.

Not like they don’t have social media teams (people) that go live/post all the time.

So Rebel fans, are trials over now? Do you get a sense of your best 23 for round 1 yet?
