    It was mentioned at one of the pregame speeches by the CEO that the Force along with the other Super franchises were offered a 5 year license but that we are also pushing for a perpetual agreement. He said it's hard to get investment/sponsors with only able to offer 5 years (and obvious track record of RA)

    Rebels confirm Koroibete, Haylett-Petty departure
    Mon, 21/06/2021, 07:50 am
    by Nathan Williamson


    The Melbourne Rebels have confirmed a host of players will depart at the end of the season, led by Wallabies Marika Koroibete and Dane Haylett-Petty.

    In an announcement on Friday, the club revealed Koroibete will head to Japan in 2022 following his Wallabies commitments.

    The 28-year-old was named Players' Player following an outstanding 2021 campaign, with the winger scoring 23 tries during his 69 games with the club.

    He will be joined in Japan by Isi Naisarani, who will leave the club after playing 31 games since 2019.


    Meanwhile, Haylett-Petty, who was named captain for the past three years, will not return as he explores his options.

    Haylett-Petty did not feature in 2021 as he continues to recover from a concussion.

    Along with this, Frank Lomani will return back home to Fiji, with the halfback named in their squad to face New Zealand in July.

    Lock Steve Cummins has also signed a multi-year deal with French side Section Paloise in the Top 14.

    Their departing list is rounded out by Tom Pincus, who they confirmed will move into his post-Rugby career.

    The club has confirmed that they will retain the majority of their squad from 2021, with 27 players contracted for the 2022 season.

    Hope he finds his mojo in France as love to watch him play when at his best.
    His last try against the Blues was what we'd hoped to see a lot more.
    Thanks for your time in Perth Tevita.

    Not as sad as it might be. He was a good organiser, particularly in defense, but Kyle was better in attack and no cost in defense. A really good x-factor 12 is needed, since Taefs doesn't seem to get any respect

    Starting backline now appears that it could be:

    9) Fines
    10) Pasitoa
    11) Pulu
    12) Kunzel
    13) Godwin
    14) Mataele
    15 ) Strachan

    Bench backline:

    20) Macdonald
    21) McIntyre
    22) Ralston
    23) Kahui

    Younger (yes the average,even with Kahui there), stonger, faster than this year.

    As long as we keep making these kind of steps forward each year I will be very happy.

    I don't think we'll go to 4 backs on the bench will we? I would think a 3 backs bench would be Macdonald, McGregor, Kahui (for versatility) and dropping McGregor out if we go to 2.

    The fascination with playing Kyle at 12 might see Mataele play 13 (he's apparently done so before and certainly looks big enough to handle it) and get Ralston onto the pitch, with Kuenzle playing 10 (I would think Pasitoa needs to be eased into 10, he looked a little flighty when he played for the Brums)

    Henry Taefu didnt put a foot wrong when he did play this season. I think he should be in the team for next year

    I agree, but if he decided to play for one of the proposed PI sides, I couldn't blame him for heading to somewhere where he reckons he'll get more game-time.
