    Rebels 2018

    I think he's the wrong guy right now for any head role. Clearly he doesn't want to go from being the attack coach of probably the worst attack in Super Rugby to the Head coach of it. Beyond that, between a couple of interviews, and a speech, he seems to speak his mind too often to be a head...

    Rebels 2018

    Morgan has NOT put his name up for consideration, despite being asked to. I think he wants to be an accomplished assistant before taking on a head role.

    Rebels 2018

    Can't possibly complain about him, never saw him give anything but his all, just didn't have the raw talent that a number of others have. Well played Mick.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I think it is best to leave it yes. We'll not convince each other of anything, and stopping before civility breaks down, is a good thing. I wish, and continue to wish the Force the best of luck in their fight, as long as it doesn't come at the expense of my blokes.

    You see, Shigs, I agree with basically everything you said, but there's more to consider than, this individual is better than this individual. Between Wallabies contracts, Super Contracts already signed, and behind the scenes manuevering it's not as simple as slam the Best 20-23 Force Players...

    Mods: The naming of the Force players is in direct response to a request from a Force Poster: Delete if you wish, but that's my justification, please don't judge me harshly. For starters, it's not a simple player yes or no, it's do they fit within contract structure: Loosehead Prop: please...

    Sure, maybe. At least you tried. No. I think the Rebels will take a "large" (see 6-8) contingent of players from the Force. But I think it won't be a simple matter of the best Force players come and replace Rebels. We'll instead deliberately target Loosehead Prop, Lock, Flyhalf and Fullback...

    Do they? AFAIK, most of the stupid, avoid liability advice you see is to ignore them. At least if you stand up, something will happen to break the cycle, one way or the other.

    You should always stand up to bullies.

    The problem being: you're an idiot, and due to the way you set up the contracts, you legally don't actually own any of those 4 other bedrooms and have no way to make the people who do own them give them to you!

    I will Shigs. All Structural Issues aside: Victorian, and Victorian based (pre-prof) players are coming through the Rebels system and it's a very good feeling to watch them and cheer them on. And the Kiwi games are too good to miss when the European games are both at poor watching times and...

    We're left with Super 16. And the overwhelming likelihood is that the ARU would find itself responsible for all 11 others sides/4 Governing Unions additional costs, including but not limited to travel, accomodation and loss of broadcast revenue, as I reckon they would get another round of...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    So the ARU is dirty, underhanded, and the Force was chosen to be cut because it was easier than acquiring another license. Given that we knew all that already, is there anything new in there which suggests what the basis of the WARU's Legal Argument to stay, and the likelihood of success, given...

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    How would they do that though? The whole point was that the ARU didn't have the Rebels to sell, and the transfer of Shares to the ARU more or less removes the "Every man has his price factor", at least for the next 10-12 months, and for the purpose of retaining the Rebels, that's probably all...

    Killer: you have read the series of posts when Clyne came down to the Wankers, sorry, Quins club dinner or whatever it was and basically made it sound like we were gone? I reckon Clyne just wanted a team gone at whatever cost: and his glee was at the fact that he wouldn't have to resign from...
