Because the players will leave when their contracts are up. We saw this exact scenario play out with the Force. How will it be different this time around? They promised when the Force was cut we would have 4 strong Australian sides competing in Super Rugby and that never eventuated.

lol they made finals this year a lot better than the Tahs finishing bottom again you have NFI

Increase revenue how? They have less teams and less content to sell. Cutting the rebels may help the profitability or help reduce the games losses year on year but losing a team doesn’t increase the revenue

100% this, so there maybe a short term sugar hit but it will do nothing to help the game here in terms of depth or performance

Pretty disappointing how they handled it. You knew when they shut down the men’s they would cut them. Why for all the people involved drag it out so much longer?

Sounds like the same argument when the force got cut. We need to provide more professional opportunities to grow the game and the depth not less. Soon there will be 18 Aussie NRL sides to 4 Super sides the struggle will just get worse

Nup the Vic government

Funny how they try and claim they shelved Super Round when in reality there were no other bidders than Melbourne for it and that was off the table when the Rebels got cut.

Well I was never any good as a kid but still bloody miss trying to play the game

Being in bed with NZ is like staying in a relationship with an abusive partner

We wouldn’t have won anything with Hindy

With the NRL looking at going to 20 teams and 19 games it could open a window up for Rugby. Especially as the AFL will likely look to expand to 20 sides and the AFLPA is pushing for a shorter season

Yes and no, in the short term that would definitely be the case. Yet in the mid to long term it’s not unrealistic to be able to be lose to parody when it comes to pay where the NBL and A league will never be anywhere near their overseas rivals

Pretty sure they were wound up at the end of the financial year

Still remember Ian Botham labelling the 13/14 Aus Ashes side the worst ever and declaring England would win 5-0

Yet Waugh was also on the board for that and killed the club and the pathway that delivers the third most wallabies

Noah creates absolutely nothing in attack

Have a team in Victoria the state that produces the third most Wallabies

Kill the rebels and cash in an 100m dollar cheque. The game has well and truly gone to the dogs
