[Wallaby Man]

no actual squad named but says Monty will play & Josh Kemeny will come off the bench coming back from his acl

Rebels head to Albury for second trial of 2023 off-season campaign

Think it’s going to be a pretty fluid rotation of all 27 players in the game at some stage

Wouldn't mind seeing who the 27 are, wonder if the top ups are. Seeing the mix of the academy, dewar shield & qld top ups

35-17 to the Rebels

Pretty pleased with our Australia A boys' performances. Gibbon, Uelese, Fa'amausili is a good starting row with Orr, Mafi, Eloff to come on. Hopefully we get no more injuries with Hosea & Leota out for a while. Starting my naive off season optimism that we can push for top 2 Aussie teams next year. Ah well.

Monty played well on the weekend apparently, good stuff.

 

[Highlander35]

Same concerns as the last 2 or 3 seasons tbh. Only major weakness in the best side is the centers and we Need to find some way to keep our best 12 or so Forwards to stay as fit and available as possible.

With a bit of consistency in selection and a more well thought out and executed gameplan there's no reason we couldn't do much better, but the two above will dictate whether we're talking pushing for "2nd best australian side" or struggling not to be last.

 

[Raytah]

Very solid front row options. Mafi > Uelese, Talakai > Eloff, Kailea > Oor for me. Rangi also a very good 3rd choice hooker.

Won't have the locks or centres to get the job done on current squad.

Interesting that Monty Ioane has been selected for both this tour and the Italian training squad for the Autumn series

Probably shouldn't bite but by my rough count there's 6 Victorians there with 7 Queenslanders (and 5 NSWelshmen). Fairly even spread.

Dont be surprised if IAK & Fourie start with Orr & Uelese coming off the bench. The game v the Axemen Jooste was at 10 & Carter at FB with Carter given free range on the attack in the opp half

Anyone know status of Zac Hough… don’t see his name in the u19 team list nor to the tour of Japan.

guessing he has picked up a injury keeping him out of yours or squads

So was talking to Gibbon this week, Aus A side went into a bar in Japan and ran into English, Jefferies and a few other x rebels out of the blue.

English wants to come back and reach his 100 caps.

Love that. Would be good to see them in action. I haven’t renewed mine yet. Currently I have two general admission memberships so I can take a mate for free. I like sitting behind the sticks but I was also thinking of upgrading it just not really sure at the moment.
