That’s after the squad has been filled by journey men most on multiple year deals. Shows the attitude towards the Rebels. That said the priority access to talent didn’t help the Gold Coast they came in the AFL the same year as the Rebels and still haven’t played a final. So I am not claiming it...

Mate RA deserves this. End of the day they have destroyed the sport in Australia and any attempt to hold them to account will be welcomed

Just shows you have NFI neither were there in the first year. As that is when we were banned from recruiting and that set the club back. Also we got JOC (James O'Connor) from the Force so he wouldn’t of been covered

Yet the court has the ability to award costs against the directors if they lose.

Also is home to plenty of islanders, kiwis and Saffers as a kid years back pre rebels I played both Aussie rules and rugby and all the islanders Kiwis and Saffers would jokingly hang shit on me for playing GAYFL. Part of the issue with launching a new side in super rugby though most of the fans...

As the old saying goes if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear. So the Rebels are wrong to challenge as you believe their issues were self inflicted and RA is in a mess because of their own? Yet the reason RA is in a mess is because of their own poor management. The issue needs to...

When they were launched there were restrictions in place about where they could recruit from. Whereas the AFL gave the new clubs priority access to the best young talent and facilitated them being able to sign the biggest names in the game.

You have made up your mind fine RA is sending the game broke in every state yet their governance is fine.

Well it is the belief of the directors that there is direct evidence to the contrary

They started out with 20k crowds each week. But unlike the Suns or Giants we were not given any support from the governing body. Where the AFL helped the Suns land Gary Ablett the rebels were banned from recruiting out of NSW or Queensland initially. There were always road blocks to stop us from...

If the allegations are true RA has to be held to account. If it hurts the game in Sydney who cares?

By proving they had knowledge of what was going on. If they were indeed pushing them to keep the lights on saying that they will bail them out with the PE money they are complicit

If the case is baseless they will lose the case

I don’t think anyone holds it against the kid. It is just irresponsible to spend that level of money on one player when the PE deal hadn’t yet been done.

The court can award costs against the Rebels if they lose and they see the case baseless.

But for a case to be long and drawn out they have to be able to produce evidence to prosecute their case. If RA was 100% by the book and in the right then they would not take a settlement

But RA won’t agree if there isn’t a case. If they had done everything by the book we wouldn’t be in this situation

One back isn’t going to change the world. All I am saying is we should have waited for the private equity deal to be done before we started spending the money

Because if they are able to prosecute the case why should they be left personally liable for the debt?

But for a settlement there still has to be a level of wrong doing that they can prove. Do they have strong enough evidence to win maybe not, but that’s no different to the team on the park play 50 minutes of good rugby and 30 minutes of crap and hope it all works out
