Not talking about saying anything that would breach confidentiality. However a statement that talks with some degree of confidence re the future of the game . Or here is something radical , tell the truth . "We have a favoured position however we are waiting for final feedback from both our...

Could not agree more Saying nothing just looks weak as

It is just absolutely mind boggling that in the midst of this horrible time for the game , the ARU CEO goes completely missing . And not just Pulver the whole ARU . Reminds me of his atrocious handling of the Beale , Mckenzie , Patson saga. It's actually pretty surprising for a man who in his...

Praying for 80 minutes of guts . Get within 20 and hold your heads up . Then belt the bejesus out of the Tahs next week

The clout comes from the assurances the ARU have the current owners when they did the deal . The ARU was desperate to do the deal at that time . I believe one way or another it's a large barrel!

Positioning himself for the legal fight . No matter what you think of this guy, he's not a mug businessman . One way or another I reckon he sniffs an opportunity .Boot me out and how deep are your pockets . Lose another and a bigger piece of what's left of the commercial pie and player pie for me .

Sorry mate can't agree . I supported the Tahs for years before I moved to Melbourne but now I'm a locked in , hand on heart Rebels man . Like I think the vast majority of Force , Rebels , Brumbies supporters , take out our team and we are gone to Rugby at a professional level , especially...

Got nothing to do with in field performance .$$$$

And your absolutely right and I know it's not an easy answer . However I reckon if you went back about 6 years the numbers of Australian players in these other comps would be less than half of the current number and they weren't our best players . In the days of David Nucifora running the ARU...

The current owners of the Rebels and VRU are not great friends

I'm amazed that in this whole sorry mess , very little has been made of the fact that there is currently over 60 Australian players plying their trade overseas including around 30 that have played for the Wallabies . Surely getting these players back into the Australian Super Rugby system should...

I hope that's what he's doing, but with the current uncertainty the cynic in me thinks he is preparing for a glorious defeat in which he pockets a profit on the way out. He could be the only person in a win/win situation in this whole super rugby mess. I think this is a very interesting...

It happened and it was that cut and dry . Was given a tape of Adam from a Parra match and said he was ordinary . JD was signed under the next coaching regime , the current one

Unfortunately looks like another case of a player coming from the unfashionable end of town being overlooked for players from the fashionable end . A very common issue . My favourite is the Rebels turning down Adam Coleman about 4 years ago because he was from Parra and to quote the then Rebels...

KOB If you wanted a fun diversion you should check out the stories written by Harris over the past couple of years that he has printed as fact and see how many never happened.

And other than Growden, Harris is the most inaccurate , lazy journo in Australian Rugby. Even acknowledged by his brothers at the OZ.

So where does this come from. Lets bring up the race card because nothing else is working . Lets add racist to all of the other rubbish written about the poor woman.

Your absolutely spot on TWAS

Pfitzy my position on Beale is also clear but i tend to agree that Di did completely the wrong thing not highlighting this issue to senior management. However having witnessed this enviroment first hand and the way that the players behave towards someone that dares break their Lord Of The Flies...

I have watched this whole sorry tale unfold without comment but with increasing frustraton of how far our great game has fallen into the gutter and to a greater degree some of the debate on this issue has been an incredibly sad commentary on how we live today. Unlike a lot of other posters here...
