Keen to see how Harrison develops through this Tahs season, might be a name thrown into ring closer to the internationals. Too early to really tell yet, but positive signs.
Managed to put 2 teams together last year, need 3 this year and have heard of a few blokes not throwing on the boots this year for various reasons.... past 10yrs have been almost rinse and repeat. Success in 3rd div, promotion, struggle for numbers in 2nd div, back to 3rd.
Agree re: Nela comments. Looks like he could lose 20kg or so. Similar to what Skelton did when he went overseas, so that he was actually useful around the park. Nela did look good in the scrums, but other than 1 turn over has certainly been MIA. Has been disappointing for the amount of potential...
Tbh i don't think for the most part the Rebels have played poorly, their defensive effort is nothing to be ashamed of. They have put on good shots and made the Reds put together lots of phases. The Reds have just been a level above tonight, barely a mistake made. Tate is looking really good.
I see a lot of clubs around my area have kicked off their preseason. Beecroft, Epping and Hornsby have been going for a couple weeks, gearing up for big seasons. I see Hornsby advertising for 3 mens sides.
This is it. RA is in shambles at the moment and a well organised club from the best run "rugby" comp in the world has offered you a spot for a little bit more money and you dont have to deal with all the mismanagement, id be jumping ship too...
Potentially will develop into an even stronger...
