yep, nothing to worry about, let's just continue doing things, the same way we always have.....

Talk about painting yourself into a corner. Who haven't they guaranteed a spot in the comp? I bet a Billy P is kicking himself. When you nitpick with legal niceties, you have to understand how the option you are taking differs to the standard option. Having WF on their balance sheet with total...

Verbal assurances trump written undertakings... It can only end in tears, for ARU

A well paid servant!

Doesnt matter IS, the pitchforks are out, better him than no one :)

from what I've read, I'd describe Cox as pragmatic, not conniving. There's no way he ever entered ownership of the Rebels with the intention of selling back to the ARU at a profit. But, they have performed poorly,with both revenues & costs the wrong side of projections. The landscape has...

18 DO's? Halve it!

Can't see this happening. ARU can't possibly enter into legal battle with Force, as it opens them up to claims from SANZAAR as well. They simply have to give Cox a big bag of money, or the Brumbies.....

They'd be disappointed they couldn't get on the court, because the guys they hired it to were insisting they had the right to play on it.......

Never said that. We had a solid squad. Those two made a significant difference to transform us from merely being competitive to being champions.

I'm not sure if you're trolling, or are not nearly as smart as you keep telling us?

We didn't win because the pathway produced a winning squad. Our best player that year was either Izzy or jackpot.

Cmon, you don't need a crystal ball, or a law degree, to know when you make commitments in writing,you shouldn't then make plans contrary to what you have agreed to. Its corporate arse covering 101, before you go to London, you double check with the lawyers that you can use the nuclear option...

Fighting with cheque books? There would be plenty of fighting after the first couple bounced

My point was that if you are not on the pathway, or a very recent graduate, then you become tainted goods. The attention then is solely focused on the new shiny toys in the current programs.

A 'worldwide search' could bring up some interesting options. Don't the Swans & Roosters share the carpark with the Tahs?

Yep, lets put it in perspective, this is not a Bill P sort of fuckup, where you want him out of the building now. It's disappointing, and you don't renew him. Replacing him mid season with whoever is available ATM, probably has more downside than upside.

And the kiwi prop assimilated too well?

Probably just more cashed up. :)

They also signed Maclean Jones. .......The only thing better than signing a 20's player, is to sign someone else's 20's player :)
