I have mixed feelings about this one as a Red's fan, but watching the first win in Brisbane in 2014 from Melbourne must have been amazing. What a game. 2 tries to Burgess. A late penalty reversal for an eye-gouge and Woodward calmly slots the match winner. Really killed off that Red's season.

Doran is reporting RA will honour all player's contracts who are signed to 2025 (apparently half the squad)

ATO get paid either way (unless they release the directors). It's now just whether RA funds are are used to reduce the DPNs or it comes entirely out of the director's pockets.

It's just the same tactics as Folau isn't it? Get enough motivated funding together and it doesn't matter how strong your case is, the legal and reputational cost that RA will suffer from a court case will make settling cheaper than going through the with defending a case

I understand that. Stan (and hence RA) don't make money per game though, they make money per subscriber. They don't sell advertising like FTA or have channels to fill airtime like Foxtel. More games means Stan's expenses go up, as they have to produce each game. So expenses go up with more...

The Directors will be funding it, or at least arranging the funding. Any money they can recover from RA goes to the creditors (ATO), which in turn reduces the Director's personal liability from DPN.

Sure, but if you sign up on the first game and cancel on the last, there's still 3 weeks of subscription paid for this month with no games. You are already paying for 18 weeks, even if you only get 15 rounds of content. Stan have to produce way more games, for minimal additional revenue (maybe...

Unless it drives significant subscriber growth, and can't really see how - do people cancel their subscription as soon as Super Rugby finish and don't watch anything else including Wallabies on it? - extra weeks of Super Rugby is just an extra cost for Stan. They don't get any additional revenue from more games...

Especially with the bye rounds, broadcasters only get 12 weeks with 6 games as it is. Stan is a different model. They don't need to fill hours of content. RA will definately lose revenue from this. But it's linked to how many rebel supporters don't pay for Stan, not how many games a week...

Hi Half. Is the obvious conclusion that unlike AFL games on Fox and FTA, domestic Super Rugby games on Stan don't make RA much broadcast money? Especially with bye rounds, they only get 12 weeks with 6 games

Rebels supporters, you do you. I'm certainly not going to tell you how to react. Personally though I'd be fetching pitchforks and finding where Paul Docherty lives.

Add up all the unplanned bailouts, loans forgiven and extra funding given to the Super Rugby teams and member unions over the last 20 years

The argument in the DOCA was that there is a legal basis to have the license to be reinstated as the "company lost its license in unconscionable circumstances" - this is what their legal action will be based on. That's in addition to suing RA for $8m for funding shortfall and PAYG liability...

They are pro rugby players. Employees of RA. Of course they are getting on the flight.

No doubt. The DOCA includes a process whereby the Rebels' Directors are funded to undertake procedings to achieve an emergency injunction

Their preferred outcome is (still) surely a sustainable Rebels team. The process has played out, DOCA becomes effective and now they have seen the consortium's proposal. RA's assessment is they still don't have that

Ex Japan and MLR, Paddy Ryan last played #1 at Super Rugby level against the Kings in April 2017. He was last a genuine starter in 2016. With the Tahs FR curse in place, he is almost certain to be injured. He is 35 years old, and here on holiday And yet he answers the call. What a remarkable story...

So from here....employees should get their Super paid in around a month. Other creditors will get 15c at the same time. Negotiations officially begin around the participation licence. If no progress after 30 days, then there will be funding to get the lawyers involved. The directors only...

Moved away from mum's cooking and KFC on the drive home

Would be a penalty the other way in community rugby in England
