Melbourne Rebels 2024

[Wallaby Man]

Will have a stab.

Tim Nanai-Williams.

Would fill the 10/15 depth issue and might be tempted down here to retire as he’s 34. Prob way off the mark tho

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

It's become a snake draft of name that player.

Aaron Cruden

Dillyn Leyds

-capped by Boks, played in Aus before with the Force and Spirit, used to be a 10 although a winger now. Has 67 Super caps and 21 tries.

Great call. Foote would have coached him too.

Interesting post, Kevin Foote coached Dillyn at Univeristy of Cape Town in South Africa and brought him across to the Force in 2014.

Why would Leyds give up absolute big bucks at La Rochelle to be even further from home?

but damn, the hair does look correct. Those stats are right. He is a playmaker of sorts...

Punishment for that "tackle" on Ntamack?

Anyway not him, found some contract news

Seven-time-capped Springbok wing Rhule (28) signed through until 2023, while fullback Leyds, also 28 and with 10 Bok caps to his name, saw his contract boosted until 2024.

So found out who's replacing Monte with similar stats

No wonder the PI boys are have a laugh at the Insta comments….

 

[qwerty51]

Who is it?

Is it not Jantjies? The silhouette hair looks exactly like him and he's in ProD2 atm.

 

[Highlander35]

If that's the answer it's a bad bad tease.

I reckon Nela would like this news

There is a chance I have misinterpreted the comments

Sir Charles called it in other Rebels thread

Aw man

Playmaker is the big thing shitting me. Otherwise I'd be 99% confident we'd managed to steal Daugunu from the reds.

 

[Dctarget]

International is weird, not quite the player we need either. Surplus of wings/13s. No inside.

 

[GoMelbRebels]

So, confirmed as Daugunu.

 

[Highlander35]

Good pickup, pretty happy with it.

Still need a 12.

 

[KevinO]

Great pickup, now another lock and 12 and we might be competitive next season

 

[Wilson]

Good pickup, happy to see Daugunu staying in Australia. Hopefully he gets a bit more time at 13 given what he showed against the chiefs this year.

Truly terrible teaser though.
