Stirling Mortlock ponders life as a Melbourne Rebel

[Burgs]

Agree Sheikh, I guess I was leaning more towards first year impact rather than longevity, same dog, different leg action because as you say in the last sentence, who is there.
The obvious is Rocky but he is no Sharpey.
Paired with Salvi and perhaps an International would be a pretty competitive unit of gatherers.

Probably the thing that hurt the Force the most in our first year was getting worked over at the breakdown. You could put a lot down to handling errors but I do think Matt Henjak would've played a bit better if he was under less pressure (not that thats an excuse). Now that doesn't really matter because we put a couple of guys in the bank (Pocock and Brown) and got a very good interest rate.

The Rebels will want Salvi and someone else who is really good too. I hope they get Salvi- it'll make them less likely to try and poach Pocock.
