Still, imagine if they did a 50/50 investment withte vic government? Could open up a few oppotunites here in Melbourne. Beter still, imagine what they could do at Rugby AU with that sort of cash. I think KKR would look to set up a Trans-Tasman comp, with WF and a PI team(s). Money woulld...

Yep, that didn't go unnoticed.

I think Skelton is long-term. THe other two, jsut for 2020 Super AU season.

Sad, but not suprised. He's down o nthe pcking order and fustrated by injury. Might be looking for a fresh start. Where do you think he might go?

https://rugby365.com/tournaments/super-rugby/news-super-rugby/skelton-joins-the-rebels/ Althought the title mentions two players, article only mentions the signing of Jeral Skelton. Assume just for Super Rugby AU. I guess we get a Skelton after all... Any 7's experts out there who can fill...

I had hope that Philip muight stick around if he's on the PONI list. Hopefully this forces a rethink, both for the Rebels sake, and the Wallabies sake. I had Philip pegged as a future Rebels Captain. I see him natural leadership out on the field. He's built for the job.

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/wallabies-trio-linked-to-usa-move-as-rennie-pay-looms-as-flash-point-20200604-p54zo3.html Article says Jermaine Ansley, Harry Potter, and Matt Philip are off at the end of the year. Potential risk of Meakes and Cottrell leaving too.

^^^ This. The market size alone in Melbourne is hard to ignore. I can't imagine a TV broadcaster looking a Rugby TV product and saying "nah, we don't need melbourne included". It's simply too lucrative to ignore. I hate to hark back to the 2017 days, but the decision to keep the Rebels...

Could be, but they'd be giving up the second biggest marketi in the country. No major Australian sport is stupid enough to not have a presense in Melbourne.

This was my favourite bit: Based on? A thorough look at the books? Gool ol' journalistic instinct? I'm guessing...nothing. Nada. Guess they've finished white antinc RC, time to move onto the Rebels.

A top club man. Will be missed. Would suggest our chances of retaining Matty Philip have increased. He map e on the PONI list, and that may have swayed his mind.

Well, that makes three on GAGR that I know who live in Section 9 (KevinO and I). I'm up in the 2-seater behind the main bit, away from the rabble below. I suspect the man was sitting down in the lower sections, but can't be sure as they won't release details.

To the best of my knowledge, two members of this forum are seated in section 9. I'm one of them. Section 9 is relativly large, so it's difficult to tell if I was even close to the infected person. I sit in a raise section away from the main section 9 area. If there was an issue, the club...

Agree on Hosea, love to see him get a run. Tupou is out of the season with a ruptured ACL.

THat's not a bad backrow from the lions. Wil lcause is plenty of headaches? And is that big bloody Jannie on the bench? Jesus, He will be a handful in the backend of the match. Still think we will win.

Yes. We probably should have earned another one.

It was also the first time my son has seen me jump (after Kellaway's 2nd try). He laughed for about 5min.

Team is out. Some big calls here.
