It’s an odd concept. I think it will work to an extent. If the players are on an average salary of 2m a year all the best rugby/rugby league players will sign. So it will be the best standard. Running it like the F1’s with rounds going to different cities but then also having teams representing...

Yet that is a modern structure and was not how the game was run when the policy of subsidising NSW and Queensland was first introduced 1906 it required a majority vote with the traditional states Vic, SA, WA and Tasmania having 8 votes as opposed to the 4 votes NSW and Queensland had. Yet the...

Yeah and all the money for AFL Queensland or AFL NSW comes from the state body. Rugby types will never understand this. Yet the AFL has been taxing the rich clubs in Vic, WA and SA for over 100 years to support the game in NSW and Queensland. They didn’t just take the attitude “we are the...

Not an airport you don’t have to announce your departure champion

Rugby Australia failed Melbourne and has failed the rest of Australia period. When this administration collapses it will be a great day for the game in this country

What were they meant to do not field a side…..

They got jobseeker for the players and staff when the comp was suspended

Yeah the rebels are why the stadiums in NZ are empty in games that the Rebels are not a part of. Makes sense

So two clubs were forced to leave their home state and relocate to Sydney for months on end to keep the game afloat. While we know Twiggy covered the cost for the Force where did the money come from for the rebels? Would you feel it is right or just if the club was left to foot that bill? BTW I...

No they administrators said they were likely insolvent from 31/012/2018. So while it is probable it’s not known as fact when they became insolvent

The people running RA do not represent what is good for rugby and never have. All the promises of support for club rugby and the pathways in Victoria from RA where all lies

And yet the fall out of holding the same course herts all the same people

Super Rugby is a dead concept

Because they were given the annual participation grant. The only point they state where the debt level was at was that it was 18m in 2022. Also 35m over that time span hardly even covers the salary cap then there are all the other expenses.

So we know the debt was at 18m in 2022 as per the administrators report. But what was the cost to the club of playing the covid years and how were those costs met? It is very relevant to the debt issue and would be good to have clarity around that.

And until the Chairman’s business went under they were tipping in money to keep the lights on. Something that has to be answered is what was the cost to the rebels of having to be based in Sydney for Covid and how much of that was subsidised by RA?

Could the reds return to Ballymore?

So they told them they were solvent when they were. That’s pretty misleading

lol there is a difference between defending themselves and bringing about legal action

Around the clubs solvency. If they were insolvent for another 6 months than by claiming they were at that point in time they were not misleading RA. RA just wants to add the extra year to the legal action so they can seek 35m and not 30m it’s just one up man ship
