    Just when they thought they were out, we pull them back in.

    Not sure you guys have seen the homage to the Rebels from our friends in South Florida.

    Can we just pause to admire this incredible pun?

    Super Rugby 2018

    It's not a real measure of toughness, just a sum of the total points of their opponents. All Australian teams have relatively easy draws because all Australian teams sucked.

    What is your biggest wish for Australian Rugby?

    I just want us to all be friends again.

    Pole: Should there be a level playing field for Australian Super Rugby teams?

    There are two options here. One is to simply ditch the top up system and have your Super Rugby wage be for Super Rugby games and your Wallaby wage for Wallabies games. No excuses for not being under the cap. Simple. Otherwise, ARU should look at the A-League marquee system. Each team has a set number of players...

    Agreed, seems wrong in hindsight to have gone to arbitration instead of challenging the agreement as a whole in court.

    This is probably their next move - challenging the arbitration has been exhausted so they would need to challenge the agreement itself and whether it was signed under false pretenses. My legal expertise is restricted to two semesters at uni so I've got no idea if or how they'd be successful.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think they have a chance after reading that decision. The alliance agreement, for all the talk around it this year, seems pretty straightforward. Doesn't mean it's not possible.

    Oh we're just getting started. If they get leave to go to the High Court, they might not be able to hear it until next year, given how many of our parliamentarians are secret foreigners.

    This has been covered several times but the put option was, and is, legal without needing to notify the ARU. The ARU's posturing after the transfer was just that, because, for the millionth time in this stupid saga, they simply got played. If you want to look into how the debt was cleared...

    Rebels 2018

    I legit had a dream last week about Gaz being announced our head coach, and the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of bringing him in for an assistant role/succession plan. It would be such a huge move from a team culture perspective. Signing and then resigning him were the two...

    Nice.

    It's a genuine tragedy that this year has done that to two incredibly similar groups of fans. I don't fear being left out. I want the Force to bankrupt the ARU. Tearing it down and starting again is the only way to break the ARU/NSW/QLD triumvirate that's ingrained in the national body.

    Rebels 2018

    I reckon one of the big mistakes the board/club made the first time round was over-investing in infrastructure. For instance, no idea why we moved the club's base to Princes Park and redeveloped the facilities there when there's perfectly decent facilities at AAMI. Thankfully they appear to...

    Rebels 2018

    News has been coming for a while but I'm underwhelmed. 1. It looks terrible signing a guy for $800k when we've lost an entire team over $6m. I know we weren't responsible for the price - the ARU were in their negotiating wisdom - but boy oh boy, optics. Speaks to a bigger issue that not one...

    Same. I'm well aware that, through no fault of our own, there's an image of blood on the Rebels' hands now. I'd be insulted as a Force fan if the Rebels fans that went before stopped going. We're playing for two teams now.

    Force 2018

    I'll take it further than Daz and reiterate that this has always been, and still is my point of view. The ARU treatment of both our teams this year has proved them to be a failed enterprise. Burn it to the ground mate.
