Knee recon from last year.
Gus is back on the long road to recovery and seems to be very positive.

Do we know if Adam Coleman is still out injured?
The article from yesterdays west
"Props Ben Daley and Tetera Faulkner and second-rower Adam Coleman are all coming back from injury.
Wessels said they could have played but he would not rush them back."
https://thewest.com.au/sport/rugby-u...-ng-b88376364z
It sounds like he has almost recovered but Wessels doesn't want to rush him. Hopefully this means he is all good to go for the start of the season.
Looks like it starts at 4.30pm??
Correct

10-5 In our favour at the end of the 1st Quarter. Tries to Stander and Meakes. Early Yellow card for Chance Peni
Why are we playing the Rebels on the Gold Coast? Surely they could have played somewhere there might be a bit of support for the teams
Half Time 15-5 - Third try scored by Chance Peni
End of the 3rd Quarter 20-5 4th try scored by L.Morahan
OK, for anybody who's there watching. Are the Rebels looking serious about scoring points or do they look like they're giving the fringe a run?
I see lots of tweets about points scoring, strong attack from set piece and apparently good defense, but we all know how trials go.
Are we likely to come crashing back to earth in round 1?
Trial is may be all it is, however a win is far better than a loss.
There starting fifteen was close to their best line up.
Winning becomes a habit.
Roll on season 2017.
The squad can only play the opposition that they're given
5 tries to 1 is a good result especially as 4 of them scored by Backs - 3 by new members of the squad.
We've been missing scoring centres so good to see.
1 conversion from 5 is a worry.
I assume that was Jono - so we obviously missed Ian Prior. (Addition: Lance 0/3; Prior 1/2)
Looking forward to the match report from WF and hopefully other sources..
it appears that they got their patterns right-a good sign.
the 10's in brisvegas are a different style of game-so wont be a true indication of where we are at re super rugby
