Too much to hide

Does anyone have a copy of the Melbourne Rebels annual report ? The one with the financials. I'd love to take a look at the liabilities and notes to accounts in them

Tim North KC OAM- board director - doesn't look good

Re the article: "The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) was owed at least $10 million, which included up to five years of unpaid tax on players’ and staff wages." Is that saying that Melbourne Rebels withheld group tax from players and other staff and then did not forward it on to the ATO? For...

Wanted to like the a thousand times but it only registers once

In the Australian last night :" It’s Rebel hell as rival clubs circle" and in part: "Soon after news surfaced that Super Rugby franchise Melbourne Rebels was slipping into voluntary administration, French Top 14 and UK premiership rugby clubs were on the phones seeking to capitalise on the chaos...

I see Board member, Dom Shipperley, who was a quick Wallaby winger when he played, was just as quick to distance himself from the Rebels board, according to ASIC, off the board today.

Owain Stone writes: "Owain’s clear and objective approach to his forensic reports ensures his clients are in the best position to make better informed decisions, even in the most complex circumstances." Ummm

Intentional-incompetent? Let’s ask the workers at BRC who are owed wages and then let’s get a statement from one player confirming thier super was paid last quarter

So very disappointing that the Chairman has driven his own companies into the ground and is doing the same to our club. BRC has unpaid super so I suspect does Melbourne Rebels if he is true to form

So very disappointing that board member Owain Stone, who is a Chartered Accountant and partner at Korda Mentha, couldn’t keep the club finances on track - and now it’s come to this

I'm not sure I agree with your view that the majority of games would have to be played in Melbourne rather than Canberra - 1. The game attendance at AAMI is woeful; 2. Brumbies players, being part of the most successful team, would rightly (imo) demand to play at their home base.

Just as long as the players' superannuation payments have been made - otherwise the Melb Rebels Directors could be liable for them - anyone know if they have been paid in the Dec qtr?
