Application hearing. Pulver in at Floreat HQ. Rebels making some bolshie moves... you'd have to think this might be moving to resolution. Pulver apparently spoke to Wessels today. Wessels was on Perth radio tonight. Nothing mentioned about the state of the game in WA or court case.

So, not quite... but almost... The lead isn't backed up. The facts about the Force and WA govt are stale The Melbourne Rebels owners are to sue the Australian Rugby Union for a multimillion-dollar amount as the Victorian and West Australian Governments battle to retain a Super Rugby team...

Well, that just got a whole lot more fun. At least another 200 pages to go in this thread.

Correct weight. I wonder how long it took to find them all. There are others littering the place, like discarded policies and torn up agreements

Good morning St Leonards. The Fifth Column at work over the weekend.

I cannot tell you how much I love this. The lawyers will weasel their way through it, but here it is, for all to see ...

If the ARU is the ultimate old boy's club, the airing of dirty laundry is the stuff of a TV miniseries. I hope the Force takes them all the way. I'll donate another grand for the entertainment value.

From The Whole Force this afternoon.

A textbook example of sticking to what you know.

A textbook example of shrinking your way to success.

There will be blood .......... on the carpet at Rugby HQ, if this keeps up. Does anyone have mail on Collins (aside from trying to buy the Tahs) and Burke? O'Meara and Flowers - I can back that ticket. EDIT - Except, of course for that fuel pill thing from a million years ago. What was...

Quartet of powerbrokers trying to rescue Western Force from Super Rugby cull - says Pando at the DT Former ARU chief executive Gary Flowers Force’s inaugural chief Peter O’Meara Former ARU and Waratahs director Jon Collins Ground signage guru Raymond Burke (?) ...Flowers, O’Meara and Collins...

Turning into quite the dial-a-quote, apparently.

Hence the Alliance Agreement and the writ. As an advertisement for the NZ model of more intervention and greater control of the provinces by HQ, not great, eh?

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/super-rugby-cull-australian-rugby-needs-western-force-and-melbourne-rebels-should-go-20170414-gvkzus.html Well, today's the day to buy a lotto ticket........ Matt ("You Don't Get to Comment if You Didn't Play") Burke wants the Force to stay. Yes, that same...

Digger, stand down. Leave the us-against-them for us Sandgropers. :)

Without a pathway to Super in WA, would players hang around to play in a semi-pro tournament that runs for a couple of months at the end of the season? You might have clubbies turning out for the Spirit, but even that a squad of Pindan players would be weakened if the Force was boned.

For those that haven't seen the image from the skills session, this is what's really at stake.

I think the point was made that you know very little about the situation on the ground - your comment here proves it.
