Tomikin a merger either between Brumbies and Rebels or Force and Rebels is something I have been thinking about as a possibility this evening. If there was a merger Brumbies and Rebels would make more sense given proximity and the fact that the Brumbies had development programs down in...

What's the bet the ARU tomorrow will announce that they still have a process to go through to determine which team gets cut? So if that's the case more indecision and speculation will ensue.

Very disappointing. So because of administrative incompetence of SANZAAR and ARU when expanding the competition they are going to cut a team that has either been in comp for 7 years or 12 years.

I am not sure how cutting a team is going to lead to gaining a lot of fans. Other than the players being spread over less teams which in theory should increase the quality of the remaining 4 teams. Of course there is also likely to be more players head to Europe and Japan. The issues with the...

According to Iain Payten and Jamie Pandaram article the Rebels have signed Aussie 7s young gun Henry Hutchison for next season. So signing players despite the uncertainty.

I know when Damien Hill was coach we used to have a leaky defence (which is what we have now) but at least we used to play entertaining rugby and scored some sensational tries. Which gave the fans something to get excited about. We used to have some skills in attack now we don't even seem to...

I have signed the petition. A mate of mine who is not on GAGR also emailed me a link to the petition.

Breaking news the ARU think. Never would have guessed it.

So based on points on current overall ladder the leader of Aussie conference the Brumbies would be equal 8th with the Blues. Ouch (for ARU).

Amanaki Mafi would have to be the Rebels best player at this stage of the season.

KevinO according to a couple of articles I have read Hanson was off with concussion too.

Slim 293 I'd be quite happy for Cloke to kick 40 or 50 goals this year and prove Buckley wrong. Buckley shafted him. (KevinO I rate Buckley's coaching at a similar level that you rate TT).

Not for a Pies fan.

The other thing that is annoying is our set piece, we struggled to win our own scrum or own lineout. Also Oztimmay after the match I ventured across the bridge for the last quarter and a half at the G and saw the Pies lose too.

Great first half, terrible second half. Agree the ref didn't help Tahs entered the ruck from the side a few times in second half and got away. It was great to meet Oztimmay, KevinO, Andrew and Calvin prior to the game.

Been to 44 home games plus one game in Brisbane. No doubt you guys can also add some trial games too - been to a couple of trials at AAMI Park plus trial v Fiji in Ballarat.

Rugbynutter39 the ARU have a question for you what is a contingency plan?

In 1998 the first year after the merger there were 20 teams in NRL and for 1999 this was down to 17.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
