Aussie rules does, but it appears smaller because it’s not the entire development strategy.

I would but they aren’t fielding a senior team this year.

Its hard for anyone to guarantee funding given no-one knows how much money will be in the game post 2025 - that's not an issue unique to the Rebels. What happens to the Brumbies or Reds in the event that TV revenue falls off a cliff but they are still locked in to paying 95% of the salary cap...

To date myself, Tamati was same year as me at school - played against him. As I recall it back then, Ewen McKenzie was the great Victorian success story that we all knew about, Andrew Heath got to the wallabies whilst I was a schoolboy and that was huge. Tamati got to Aus A, but it was mainly...

It will be like the old days. If you want success you move up to Sydney or Brisbane to finish school and get on a professional pathway up there (ala Digby Ioane, Lloyd Johansen, etc). The academies down here will drop in standard as the best leave making them less viable pathways. We go back to...

There is a provision to commence legal action against RA for the alleged debts regardless of the outcome with the ATO. The funds recovered will be used to bring the creditors other than the excluded creditors (the directors) up to $0.35 in the dollar. All money recovered above that goes to the...

The administrators report and DOCA is published here: https://insolvency.pwc.com.au/singleEntityCases/melbourne-rebels-rugby-union-pty-ltd-administrators-appointed/casePage The DOCA is a two part offer (initial 15c on the dollar and employee entitlements covered), with the second phase (an...

He’s a friend of the Australian game if we wants the ABs weakened.

Hasn’t worked for the tahs

Could you just piss off and let us enjoy our footy for a while after we win without feeling the need to remind us about what the future holds. You’re history on here shows you to be a petty, vindictive troll - maybe worry about the shitshow in your own backyard for a while.

It’s in RA’s to play nice though - fool me once etc
