Sounds like we should be trying to get Ikitau across then as well. Now that would be a real coup!
I reckon the return of Rodda and inclusion of Sam Carter have had a fair bit to do with our scrum going OK the last couple of weeks. So it will be interesting to see how the starting scrum goes this...
So many opportunities to win that game, but we just didn't have the patience or ball security. Way too many little grubbers just giving away possession when we were in good positions and a couple of...
Great to have Williams back - we should have a real advantage in the locks.
Still no Wagner, Amone or Hoopert is disappointing. 3 out of our 4 props make me nervous come scrum time, although Marley...
I guess that means Kaitu'u won't be retained next year. Somewhat disappointing, as he has so much potential, but hasn't been able to get back to the form he showed a few years back before becoming...
Great to see Rodda and Medrano back - they'll help the pack a lot. Was hoping to see Williams and 1 or 2 of Hoopert, Wagner and Amone back as well though. Our scrum will be under big pressure with...
And passive tackles. The amount of post contact metres the blues made was ridiculous, as well as the number of times we were driven back post contact. It was a real men vs boys type game
Fully agree on both points
We honestly saw this coming months before the season started. Almost everyone identified concerns in our squad at prop and outside backs. Yes, we've been unlucky with injuries, but most of us regular...
That's a huge loss. He's been our best outside back this year, and we don't have any depth either. He likely would've been in the conversation for a potential wallabies gig as well
Not sure about going back to a 6:2 bench split, when the only backline reserve covering positions 10 to 15 is a debutant. Not great to see another prop injury as well - hopefully not serious or long...
Did he? I can't say I noticed him too much at the game, he's not listed at all on Tazz's attacking stats list is relatively low down on the defensive stats list too. Certainly wasn't a bad...
Any news on Rodda's recovery? Was kind of hoping he'd be back around now...
Liking the look of that side. White has been going well, but good to give IFL a go starting and have White on the pitch later on the game to provide some leadership.
Concerning that Moli still isn't...
Wow, didn't see that coming! Great to finally game some clarity on what happened to one of our best players and possibly explains why we weren't getting any injury updates for any players last...
Clear high shot on Kuenzle when we were exiting our 22 and Nic White taken out off the ball earlier in the game. Both should've had TMO interjection.
Our discipline was atrocious early in the...
We've got serious problems with speed out wide. Potter and Tiatia aren't all that fast unfortunately and don't appear to be the best defensively. I fear Corey Toole might have a field day on Saturday
I expect Williams will play the full 80 minutes this week. Was likely given a breather last week since it was his first week back from concussion protocols.
Wells had a somewhat better game last...
REBELS (1-15): Matt Gibbon, Alex Mafi, Taniela Tupou, Josh Canham, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Josh Kemeny, Brad Wilkin, Rob Leota (c), James Tuttle, Carter Gordon, Filipo Daugunu, David Feliuai, Matt...
What's going on with Atu Moli - not even in the 23 again, but surely should be ahead of Hancock?
Somewhat surprised we've brought Roxon in - thought we might have got Bo Abra back or given Rebolo a...
A few surprises on the team list.
Very surprised to see Rodda straight back into the 15, and hope he hasn't been rushed back due to injuries since an article in the last week or so was saying he was...
I doubt / very much hope that we don't rush Rodda back early. Expect we'll go with the same lock combination as the Brumbies trial - Faifua, Franklin and Anstee covering on the bench. Not ideal, but...
Huge news! Let's hope all goes to plan
Damn it! Looks like Wells is our captain again. I really do not understand it at all. At 6, Anstee and Williams are better options and should be in the 15 above him. At 8, Harris, Anstee and Williams...
I agree 15 would be the best fit for Reesjan with our current squad.
I think he's better suited to that position than Burey & Donaldson, as he's a better runner than both, has the physical...
