I just don’t like the attitude that if the Rebels directors feel like they have a case. That even if they have the evidence to win that case they shouldn’t be able to take action as it’s bad for the game. If they have been wronged by the game they shouldn’t suffer just to help the other sides...

I appreciate your response. While not seeing any of the evidence and not being a lawyer at all I do believe it would be a difficult case. I believe the issues with governance run a lot deeper than just the Rebels. My guess with the corporations act is that RA was fully aware they were trading...

Yeah and RA has the best interests of Victoria in mind. Good one champ

Who cares? This attitude is ridiculous, you have no rights to take legal action because even if you are vindicated it will hurt the game. So you believe that if there is enough evidence that the court would see fit to find in favour of the Rebels and award them a $30m settlement the directors...

Because RA try and paint the picture they want the public to see. The truth is somewhere in between

I understand that they may not be able to prove it. But should RA not be held to account if it was able to be proven true?

@Braveheart81 what I am interested to hear from your point of view. If the Rebels directors are able to prove in the Federal Court that RA was fully aware of the financial situation and they have evidence that they reassured them that everything would be okay and that they would bail them out...

Yet you will claim anyone that believes the Rebels directors as biased while any one who blindly accepts RA’s version of events aren’t biased

Did you read the statement? It alleges that they were well aware of the financial situation “The Melbourne Rebels Directors, all unpaid volunteers, will be providing the court extensive documentation demonstrating that Rugby Australia was aware of the financial situation of the Rebels at all...

Anyone fancy a road trip to Tarniet?

So allegations of breaking corporations act don’t mate now it is a former Tah in the gun. As long as NSW is okay we can ignore any governance issues. If there is evidence to support the claims then there are serious issues stemming from RA and they should be held accountable.

Read the statement yourself

So the fact that RA may have acted unlawfully is fine then. Because for the good of the game in Victoria we should just shut up and take it?

Well if the court finds its unlawful to exclude them from the comp than it will literally bring them back. Also we could all pile on the Rebels and their directors for the way the club was run. Yet if the federal court finds that RA’s conduct was unlawful then they should be held to account.

Nothing against the kid, he would be crazy to knock back that deal. But the game didn’t need to get into a bidding war and pay overs for him in the first place

Well they bailed out two clubs and nothing for the Rebels.

Well funny that you have accepted that as fact when it is one of a number of claims up for dispute in front of the federal court. Also RA knew the overall financial position of the game was precarious at best that’s why they were desperate for a private equity deal to prop the administration up...

Would cost less than half his annual salary to keep the girls on the park. As someone who has raised money to help support young girls in the pathways to try and become a rebel decisions like this are pathetic

Let’s go Rebels

So the game can find 9m to buy the Tahs one player yet can’t even support the Rebs in Super W
