I knew it would be close the minute the Brumbies turned down a penalty in front at the 5min mark when it was nil all. You can't disrespect any team like that.

With the Rebels media release last night I now see this only going 1 way. ARU negotiate with Cox for the Rebels license back. Why would you want to keep him when he is clearly angling for financial damages as well as a chunk of any savings you make from cutting a team. He's going to be a thorn...

Not interested at all. I'll never support another countries team over other teams from my country.

But with that in mind, the ARU would have to get everyone to unanimously agree to expel the WARU before they try to expel the Force, because surely the WARU would do the same as the VRU. It would put the other vote holders in an uncomfortable position to have to get rid of a member union to be...

They got off scot free because they aren't a financial and on field basket case. And they've always had 5, they have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they can support 5 teams. And why would they help us out by relocating a team to Melbourne? Should Victoria quit the Sheffield shield and send a...

I read it as the first salvo in the negotiation for the Rebels license going back to the ARU. The chest beating about the Rebels family is par for the course at this stage. But he has succinctly pointed out the ARU have sold him an asset that is not financially viable and the seller knew...

I'm smiling too, because I read that as totally positioning for a payout. But the ironic thing is that it seems they have written agreement with both the Force due to our bailout last year and with the Rebels due to the ownership agreement. Do they have the same written agreement with any of...

Technically yes, but it all starts with the Force and Rebels being uncompetitive. If they had been competitive and retained a larger portion of their original members the ARU wouldn't be in a financial nutgrip. But I've been saying this since 2015...

Let's be clear, there is one thing and one thing only that has caused this debacle. The ARU not implementing a talent equalisation mechanism when the expansion teams were admitted. They now plan to cut one of the two teams whose wage bill is around half of their 3 personal favourite Real...

I hesitated buying a share because of this clusterfuck, but realised that's exactly what the ARU wanted to happen by feeding info to their puppet Pandaram. So tonight I bought it, but the only mate who I've been talking with about buying shares isn't buying one. The ARU never wanted a fair...

The pig headed ARU will stick to its guns.

The truth is the ARU probably want to get rid of the Rebels, but are too scared of litigation so will take the easy option and cut the Force. The dead eyed morons back slapping each other at St Leonard's already know this in their cold dead hearts, but don't have the guts or fortitude to admit it.

If we lose the Force because incompetent ARU management have hand cuffed themselves to the dead hooker Rebels deal I'm going to be sooooo pissed.

Good old useless ARU. Couldn't just announce it at the same time and rip the fucking band aid off. No, lets drag it out for longer.

Nah, Force just playing dumb. Kicking them back the ball and can't win a line out

It appears the western force players want out and this is their cry for help.

Is Brache a cat burglar? Does he spend his spare time secretly photographing the coaches to find them in uncompromising positions and use the photos as leverage to keep getting picked? If Rona is fit enough to put him on the bench, start him in the 15. Brache has scored 3 tries in 37 games...

If the Force lose this, watch for the ARU to announce they're gone Monday morning.

I'm not advocating starting Wallaby winger, but he has pedigree and experience on the main stage which none of the above have (ignoring Folau who probably won't play wing). He'd be a good addition to the squad. More interested to see if he'd actually come or has he cracked the shits with Aus rugby.

Cheika should select Ioane for the Wallabies squad. I think any Aus eligible playing for any Super team should be eligible for the Wobs.
