Ehh I'm less sure - it's been worded very carefully to be able to be interpreted that way, but also provides no actual assurances of continued support. The Vic Govt mentions relate to historical support, while the backing of the consortium is somewhat added as a qualifier. I have little doubt...

Yet you are quick to blindly believe the Rebels' board as it's convenient for you

That literally has nothing to do with the discussion around the realities of being awarded costs, but go off king.

Adam Byrnes, Laurie Weeks, Richard Kingi, and Adam Freier all came directly from Reds/Tahs to the Rebels in the first year though, so clearly it wasn't an absolute blanket ban

Last night several people outlined to you why this is not the safety net you're suggesting it is...

Unfortunately it is several degrees more complex than that

As Braveheart said, the settlement option is very likely to be cheaper than a dragged-out court battle - as it is for most civil cases - so it could be in their best interest to do so, regardless of whether they think they could win.

Someone feel free to correct me, but I don't think that's correct - so long as both parties agree to the settlement terms, it's happy days.

On this, and to Braveheart's point, he would understand that settlement could be seen as a very favourable option by RA - so, hypothetically speaking, even if he doesn't believe there's much possibility of a win, the chance of a settlement and recouping some cash for ATO debts could be very...

I disagree - if memory serves me correctly, all of RA's statements (except the one announcing the rejection of the Tarneit proposal) have been a direct response to one put out by the Rebels. The difference in use of language is also a reasonable indicator of the intent (i.e., the Rebels using...

It's also a very deliberate and punchy attempt to get on the front foot and, at the very least, try and sway the court of public opinion. Every single release since January has been, and has always been followed by a swift return serve from RA rebuking the claims. Regardless of where this goes...

But failing that - and there's always going to controversy given the dynamic nature of the game how hard it is to determine intent - why is he not singing the praises of this law change (at least as being a first step) which reduces the impact of a red card decision on the player's team?

Shit's fucked. #notlegaladvice

Remember when people were up in arms over current Waratahs and Wallabies captain, 82-test veteran, youngest ever player to reach 100 Super caps, and John Eales medalist Michael Hooper's 5-year, ~$5m contract? Thems was the days...

Matt Burke has been let go by 10 - definitely wouldn't mind seeing him on Stan...

Not to mention flights, transport, accomodation, and any other ad hoc expenses for 30 odd people every away game, which this year for the Rebels included four trips to NZ and one to Fiji

It’s good to see RA have lifted their socials game in the last 18 months or so too - granted it’s less memey stuff and more ‘legitimate’ content, so I can see your point

Henry is not available - still recovering from his blown patella tendon. (I feel like a broken record, so apologies to those who’ve seen me post this a few times recently)

I mean, he could be anything at this point. Let's see

Unavailable after he blew his patella tendon during Super season - won’t be fit until next year realistically.
