    On the Rebels website:

    Wallaby prop Tetera Faulkner will return home after he signed with the Melbourne Rebels for the 2018 and 2019 Vodafone Super Rugby seasons.

    The 29-year-old front rower returns to Melbourne after seven years and 70 Super Rugby appearances with the Western Force, including all 15 games of the 2017 season.

    “Tetera is a quality player and person who will bring experience, consistency and strong values to the Rebels,” Melbourne Rebels CEO Baden Stephenson said.

    Sad but true. I doubt it has any bearing of the imminent decision as contract would have been signed yesterday at the latest which was prior to known result. Having got so close to decision time he must have really wanted to go back rather than holding out an extra day or two. We have to respect his decision and thank him for his services and efforts over the seven years with us.

    From rugby.com.au

    Thanks for your time here Tetera.

    by Sam Phillips
    The Rebels are bringing a Melbourne boy home, with Tetera Faulkner signing with the club until the end of 2019.

    Faulkner, who was born in New Zealand before moving to Melbourne as a 13-year-old, leaves the Force after seven years with the club - a stint that started as injury cover in 2011.

    Rebels CEO Baden Stephenson revealed the signing on Melbourne radio station RSN this morning and was brimming with excitement at the prospect of bringing a Wallaby back to Melbourne.

    "Tetera is a quality player and person who will bring experience, consistency and strong values to the Rebels,” Stephenson said.

    “It is great to bring a Melbourne player home to represent the Rebels in front of so many family, friends and teammates that he grew up with.

    Faulkner's career sprouted as a schoolboy in Melbourne, as he pulled on Australian Schoolboys colours in 2006, an Australian U19s jersey in 2007 and represented the Australian U20s in 2008 prior to joining the Force in 2011.

    To return to the city where it all started was an opportunity the 29-year-old couldn't pass up.

    “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to continue my rugby career back in Melbourne, a city that I hold dear to me,” Faulkner said.

    “After getting my first big break with the Schoolboys in Melbourne, it feels like I’ve come a full circle so I’m excited to return home and contribute to the exciting future of the Melbourne Rebels and Victorian rugby.”

    A member of Michael Cheika's Bledisloe Cup squad, Faulkner will make the move to Melbourne in November.

    What, like a two fingered salute at the airport?

    Very poor timing to cut and run. How could he look his teammates in the eye at rugby wa today?

    He'd be red faced if the Rebels are chopped.

    All part of his cunning plan. Rebels will be paying him through the nose I am sure, when the Rebs are cut he will choose to come back to the Force with a bigger pay packet covered by the ARU.

    Done.

    The guy has 3 kids and another one on the way, he had to prioritise his families future first and foremost, good luck to him.

    Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.

    He has given us nothing but his best over the years, always had time for a quick chat and very humble, left nothing on the field over the years.

    He was a loyal servant for a long time and was the face the The West used to show what this attempted cut was doing to a simple down to earth rugby player.

    As Westies has said he has had to make a decision based on family circumstances so we need to be respectful and understandable and thank him for having held out for so long.

    I suspect that the Wallaby call up added additional value to his contract and he rightly accepted.

    Thank you Tet and best of luck going forward

    Thinking the same thing BLR

    Jermaine's form probably entered into the equation as well. Toby Smith was able to lock down a solid starting spot fro the Rebs and we all know how Tets stacks up in that contest.

    While I hope the Force survive, if not I hope TPN and Coleman go overseas for the next two years. That will stuff the ARU!!

    TPN was looking at going overseas anyway before last season. He'd fit into the Giteau rule allowing him to continue playing for the Wallabies without a Super Rugby contract.

    Coleman and DHP are in a different boat. Both are still at the start of their Wallaby careers, so I wouldn't begrudge them playing for one of the other SR sides (although I'd prefer it not be for the Tahs).

    Seeing as the Sunwolves would be in the Australian conference, I think Australian players playing for them should still be Wallaby eligible, and I'd love a number of Force guys to head north. Surely SANZAAR couldn't begrudge them that, as I'm sure they don't want the Sunwolves to become easy-beats, would they?

    Seeing that the turds have just signed Simmons does that mean that AC might not have a home if the Force is axed or do the turds know something we don't?
