Rebels 2023

I did not know sorry, I always thought quins had close to the best set up though

They have a fantastic set-up, but the ground does get a lot of use. The heavy traffic contributes to the fairly dry surface.

Touch Football is played there all over summer, with the usual assortment of dog trainers and golfers that contribute to overuse..

Force to hit the gym for stretching and activation work on Sunday I believe. Is this a common game-day practice?

 

[Dctarget]

Kellaway says he's aiming for week 5 or 6.

 

[Sir Charles]

Gibbo contracted out till 2025 - looking forward to seeing how he partners up with Nella.

 

[Sir Charles]

I wonder how much money will be left in the Pot for the likes of Pone and Eloff.

I don't think there's a consensus what the best gym work is on game day. I read the Crusaders would do heavy lifting weights the morning of a game (low volume). I've never heard anyone else recommending that - who knows.

I would go with that high weight and low reps

Hope you've seen some of our players in the media this week.

TripleM, SEN, etc.

Lukas Ripley and David Vaihu were two shining lights for us last year. Had break out years and now they can’t make the 15, not sure what’s going on.

I know Vaihu played mainly 11 and now we have Monty there but there is the right wing.

 

[upthereds#!]

Yes not convinced Hodge to 13 is the answer. Hodge to 15 and Riply 13 - Pincus as 23.

Are you not thinking of brother Glen? Glen currently injured (hammy? Calf?).

 

[Wallaby Man]

Would like to know why Ili isn’t at 13 and Hodge 12. Both from my memory have played a lot more in these positions than the reverse

True David played at Wests sorry, well you also answered my question as to why Glen isn’t playing so thank you

Didnt know he was inj, just thought no selected

I would prefer Hodge at 12 or 15 than 13 which is a really hard position to read defensively so not great for a jack of all trades.
I also would rather see Tuttle start over Louwrens as I think he plays a faster more simple game.
Get to the breakdown, get it out and make a simple accurate pass all done with speed.
That is how to put pressure on the defense.
I fear tomorrow night could get ugly.

Ugly? Against the Canes? Never!

Rebels announce major sponsors CyberCX, had a quick google of these guys and they look actually semi legit and may be still solvent next season, not just one of Baden investment shells. Go Rebels

To the best of my knowledge they are entirely legit and if they're not solvent next season that will cause me all sorts of headaches.

I read that wrong the first time. Was much more amusing.
