It's in reference to them "unveiling" their 2018 squad on Friday and him not being listed.

My mistake. That makes no sense, but this is Australian rugby.

it would appear not.
Also parma Fou is still in town and was at Sunday morning training yesterday. Good to see Rebs looking after the long term injured rehab.
It's a shame they went bust because Crazy John's Rebels would have been awesome.
P.S. Pun (well kind of) intended for GoMelbRebels.
Typically, they are required to cover his rehabilitation and medial expenses until such point that he signs with another club and they opt to cover his expenses, or they determine that his injury can't be fixed and he earns himself a reasonable payout via insurance.
I found this tweet from Roy Ward (@rpjward) interesting, though - is this a hint perhaps?
Plenty of laughs among the @MelbourneRebels as a certain phone sponsor has delivered phones and free stuff to the players after lunch. Oprah like cries of "You get a phone, you get a phone" are ringing out. #SuperRugby#NeverBackDown
Me being me, I had to ask.
Rebels pay for all of them. They presumably just get the same grant as other teams; no arrangement contrary to this has been mentioned- all hell would break lose if it was different.i suspect its about who picks up the tab. the official squad are paid for by the ARU, the wider training group i'm not sure but i expect they are outside the salary cap. if you look at the pic/vids on website, JD, Hunter Paisami, Essei Haangana, Trevor Hosea and some others are all in Rebs gear and on the platform. Creative accountancy perhaps. Also parma Fou is still in town and was at Sunday morning training yesterday. Good to see Rebs looking after the long term injured rehab.

No salary cap this year, no creativity needed on whose where just in where all the $ comes from to pay them!
This is all kind of awkward given the now-cut team apparently had the most lucrative sponsorship of all the Super Rugby sides.
or "a $1.5 million sponsorship of the Western Force, agreed to on the eve of the state election and months before the team was axed from the Super Rugby competition, was "likely unlawful""You sure about that???

My Fav part is "Mr Langoulant said the Force sponsorship matter required further examination, and he would highlight that in forwarding his report to the Corruption and Crime Commission."
And then some.I'd point out that in the past the Rebels had around 5 million dollars in grants / loans that were written off (likely unlawfully) last year.
