The Rebels are a bit shite. Highlanders smashed them on their own turf. Canes will do the same. Dunno why [MENTION=2357]Rego[/MENTION] has a stiffy for them tbh.
I don't have a stiffy for them - just a lot better (on paper) than they have been in the past. I wouldn't want to underrate them tbh. This should be their best season and if they make the playoffs it'll probably be at the expense of an NZ team so really don't want them to do too well.
Coles has the best acceleration and speed in the open for a front rower (and maybe even forward) I have ever seen, and is excellent in his core roles. One of the world's very best players now imo
Rebels are one of my fav teams. I love their loosies. They play an Australian brand of football and good on them because they are Ockers. I don't see them knocking over the big boys because they have no Z factor players and will fail to make the advantage line against teams with steel shoulders in defence.
OMG- he is a terrible international player. Well actually that is not true. He has gone from terrible to being serviceable. His set piece used to be a mess. But thanks to workng with the best coaches in the world as part of being in the ABs he has come along leaps and bounds. All I care about from my hooker is the set piece.
Oh yes definitely - Proctor is more your do nothing wrong player and Nehe is the create something player. I just worried that teams started working him out and I guess we won't know that until next season now. Proctor is a handy replacement coming from injury.
I hope not because it'll mean another NZ team in that wildcard spot. They're Aussie's 2nd best team imo.
Just a completely different hooker really. His throw ins were iffy at best for his first few seasons but has nailed that and is thriving imo. An x factor player at least.
Then let your post be the conclusion we have agreed to. His set piece including the scrum was not acceptable in early outings. But yes I will grant an X factor player
I also think blade Thomson has played himself into the ab squad if I were selector. Much better than Dominic birds outing on the weekend.
