He said on the ABC with Quinton Hull that he didn’t think it would affect the pathways. That comes across as arrogant and misinformed.

A lot are very open to the idea of cutting them, there is always a push to reduce the sides even before this. I don’t think those who are pushing the we were best with three sides are proposing that we cut the reds and Tahs but I could be wrong on that front. The Rebels maybe the side RA can’t...

I do have a good feeling about the year, last year the signs were there. Issue was defence from what I have seen in the preseason we have improved. Also last year we tended to play 60 minutes. We would take it up to teams then fade out late and get overrun. Obviously all the boys are one year...

I have a second membership to bring friends along. Will buy some extra tickets and try and give them away. Worst case scenario nobody uses the tickets but the money goes back into the game

It’s hard I honestly expect them to win, the question mark is what effect will all the outside noise have on them? I don’t think we will have an average year, I feel it will either make us or break us

I’ll be there, can’t bloody wait

For example the TPP for the Super Rugby teams is 27.5m If we split that 9 ways it’s 3m per side. Plus Fiji that I am assuming would be supported by the government the same as they are now. This gives us a 10 team comp. With 9 Aus sides, lists are roughly 35 so it means 315 list spots as...

The issue is more than the NRL. Although if we had a semi pro side, while the NRL becomes a risk of poaching established players we would also provide more money and greater opportunities for all the young players turning pro. So the flip side is hopefully we can retain them, then they fuck off...

End of the day it’s a poor decision to take on the debt. They may not have the money to save the Rebels and that bridge will be crossed when the decision is made. They may never have had the money irregardless of helping the Tahs and going well over budget. But for a governing body in such a...

Now they are finally on sale, worked on one the laptop but not the phone

lol

If they are so well off with 24m of assets and only a small debt let them take care of themselves.

Why should they have been bailed out in the first place, if the debt is manageable as you say than manage it and don’t make it someone else’s problem

Of course they don’t. Unless you’re a private school wanker from the eastern beaches you don’t matter. Why should rugby Australia change their approach that clearly isn’t working

Why should the Tahs be bailed out? Either assist both clubs or neither

Good one champion

Reading between the lines and this has been my gut feel all along. RA knew the clubs were in a bad shape financially including the Rebels. They may not have been aware of the full extent. They pushed to get a PE deal to get a short term cash injection to get the game through to 25 then 27 with...

Not bailing out the Tahs is a start. If they can’t stand on their own two feet in what they always tell us is the biggest rugby market that’s on them

There is no point funding it if the Rebels die as it leads nowhere. The whole idea is to sell them the idea of being a pro athlete and make them actually get educated. I have heard if class room behaviour slides they have to run extra broncos at training. But he says he has two more schools...

If they didn’t serve such a shit product they would get more turn over.
