Should I have added drunkenly assaulting?

If what he is alleging is true, I fully support Cooper's actions. He obviously had little faith that existing channels would provide a noticeable change. He blew the whistle and forced the club into action. If that action ends Beale's union career, then so be it. A man who assaults his teammates...

I will lose what shit I have left after all this shambles if Cooper is punished.

Ergh. Any publicity is good publicity, I suppose. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/rebels-investigating-incident-on-bus-following-record-super-rugby-loss-in-south-africa/story-fn8ouw0e-1226604431354 Right now, I'm at the point where if they don't care how they make themselves...

I'm glad it's out in the open. If Kurtley has done what Cooper is alleging, he should be sacked immediately and charged (again) with assault. If I threw a punch at work, that's exactly what I'd get. The Melbourne Rebels is not a place you can come and pissfart around, drink all you like and...

I like him. He's funny-looking.

Give Ewen McKenzie a blank cheque and get him on a plane home.

I don't think the referee won the game for the Reds, not by a long shot. They still had to score 23 points and did so quite clinically. But this is Super Rugby, and the amateurism shown by the refereeing teams in past weeks, especially in yesterday's game, should not be accepted by anyone.

Refereeing atrocious. A pathetic display again in a Rebels match - we seem to get the L-platers too often. All four of them were hankering for the long weekend down here. Angus Roberts is an absolute jet. Five-year contract, please. Agree with Dumbledore about JOC (James O'Connor). Tried very hard but played...

And what of our financial crisis? Will there even BE a Rebels 2014? :p

This is a Grand Final for the Rebels, lose and we're up against it in 2013. We are throwing everything behind filling the stadium tomorrow night to bring home 4 5 points. Rebels members, help the Rebel Army cheer the boys on and we'll let you bring a mate for free.

They want a crowd. If you're in Melbourne, there's no excuse.

Manners are free :p Thought this thread could do with some re-railing.

ahem. SO. HOW ABOUT THOSE REDS?

Anyway, it took 100 years to get the Rebels here and I'll be damned if they go after two. They'll be fine. So, how about them Reds?

Oooh o_O that would be a big deal. And a first for Harold. Even then, the major issue would be around loan guarantees, and not necessarily cash in hand. The ARU would have to underwrite the Rebels' loans or the like.

There's a difference between spending big and financial issues, though. It's common knowledge they're in the red, but this isn't a bad thing until they have no way out of it.

I would be fairly surprised if it were true. MR have a very stable 5 year sponsorship agreement with RaboDirect and plenty of ancillary deals. Combined with an owner worth a few hundred million and there's theoretically little risk of the players showing up to find the rooms locked, and what...
