Mate, zero problem with anyone. How can I break this down without forcing you to jump to an irrational conclusion? When you and other posters waive off quite legitimate gripes about unfair treatment as "It's just a Sandgroper and the chip on their shoulder" (or something similar) you ignore...

A typical fucking east coast fucking elitist discussion taking place right now. Similarly, as in matters of race and privilege, The Man seldom sees the slight.

Dead right. My opinion is, piss off and go infuriate a bunch of people that deserve it, rather than making drive-by character assassinations which do nothing to further the debate.

How about you stop throwing your weight around, pal? Don't like it? Go mod a Rebels forum.

Cool. Radical renewal - solves Queensland's issues and gets rid of the elbow patches in Sydney and the Shite Shield squealers. Play with the bull - risk getting the horns.

SMH reporting injunction granted The Australian Rugby Union's Super Rugby nightmare will continue after RugbyWA have gained an injunction order against the body's decision to axe the Western Force from the Super Rugby competition...

I suspect Rugby WA has been worn down by the decades of abuse at the hands of the ARU and has been playing nice. You might even argue they have been a bit dim about the realpolitik. I guess that's what led to them giving into a one-sided centralisation and services arrangement with the ARU...

On face value, yes ... But the board is stacked to maintain the status quo. Even if change was wanted, it couldn't get through. The calculus was done on these very pages in the lead up to the EGM. But, say your state union decides to do the right thing and go "renegade". What might that...

Did you go on and read the report? I'd suggest not. Most grown ups don't fall for clickbait.

Or there's a lynching on St George's Terrace, followed by the customary offering to old mate Bertie

What has happened to or will happen to the millions in funding the ARU gave to the Rebels to keep it a private entity? Is someone responsible for it? Must someone repay it if ownership changes as it has? Did the ARU just offer a bundle of cash and tell the Rebels to go knock themselves out...

Respect

Daz, how's about this? - Even the best QCs get it wrong - People have been known to do dumb shit under pressure - Struggling organisations have been known to throw up a Hail Mary As for your comments linking Nedlands to Panda, low blow, mate.

Wait? What? Now we care about deadlines? I though we gave up on that idea about 48 to 72 hours ago?

You'd have to think it was coming from the ARU. Geography, time zones, pro-Sydney ramblings and general Eastern States elitist connections ;)

No, yet again, the DT doesn't get it right. Panda has not thrown anything out there, except the ARU's leaks. "If the ARU wins the arbitration hearing, they’ll announce within four weeks that the Force are gone." The suggestion is the Force will keep going.

Not interested in pelting mud, but any news on the police/feds inquiry and the missing millions from the land deal?

Smart? Yes. Passionate, more so, I suspect. Respected? Beyond belief. Just for the record, and I can't recall this being seen anywhere else, part of the reason Sandgropers have a soft spot for Twiggy is his family tree. John Forrest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Forrest) - explorer...
