Hello Victorian Government... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bear in mind, Cox (Imperium sports Management) has a 20-year agreement with the ARU. It will cost the ARU BIG time, either now, or in two years time, if they decide to chop the Rebels. If the Force were to go now, and the ARU decide to chop another team in the next broadcast agreement, it...

I think last home game was about 7500, so not hugely different from ours.

I'd suggest this is more a symptom of the current ARU fuckadoody and breathtaking incompetence than just a sheer indifference to Rugby from the good ol' Melbourne folk. sure, we're not having a successful season, but nor is anyone in Australia. And it's showing n the crowd numbers across the...

Just. Get. Fucked. Think Wayne is just fishing, because a fair chunk of the article talks about the Rebels as the new dead ducks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think he said he won't sell the Rebels license back to the ARU if it means the Rebels will be wound up. So that leaves either a merger (read: relocation of the Brumbies or Force) or another team removed.

Which goes to the whole clickbait theme. For example, Monday night: Wayne Smith "Rebels to sue ARU", Herald Sun "Rebels to get the boot". Now, both of these publications are owned by uncle Rupert, seem to cite the same references, but used two totally different editorial lines. Sadly...

Yep. I think they're trying to squeeze a response out of Cox, but he's not playing ball. No doubt Tim North has told him to keep quiet until they decide what to do, otherwise, it could prejudice any legal proceedings. Unline Clyne, who tried the megaphone negotiation in the public arena, and...

Nope, still fucked. I'll just leave it for now. Unless there is anything interesting anyone wants to cut-and-paste here...

I can only imagine the state of your keyboard as you smashed that one out... Interesting the WA government aren't committing any funds. I guess the new incoming government took one look at the books, had an "oh fuck" moment, then decided to tighten the purse strong on anything that won't get...

That's what I tried, but only returns content from April 9. I've done this from multiple networks (Telstra and Optus), so think the content hasn't been cached on their CDN.

Yea bit bummed I can't read the Oz article with the usual google fix (look at the URL). Doesn't look like it's cached in their CDN. Have you got a link for the AAP article?

Steve Anderson at the Force? Looks quote the long resume. https://www.westernforce.com.au/staff/steve-anderson

Yes, I agree; a replacement for Dom Day would be ideal, and well he has the credentials. There is one thing, this whole non-signing thing. I call bullshit. Remember how we re-signed Lord Lorenzo, and another 7's guy? Plays into this whole narrative of Coxy telling the ARU where to stick it.

So remember that talk a while ago about Geoff Parling joining the Rebels? Looks like he's leaving the Exeter Chiefs, playing a season of top league, then heading to an unnamed Australian team. Do we want/need him? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Francois Van Wyk off to Northhampton. It's only a one-year deal, so he could return? http://www.espn.com.au/rugby/story/_/id/19352289/francois-van-wyk-joins-northampton-western-force

I briefly tried to watch the live feed, but it kept on dropping out. Gave up after 2attempts. I only checked when someone at Rugby training asked if I knew what pool was Australia in. Didn't really go out of my way to check it. Subconsciously, the whole chop/cut fuck up would contribute...

ordered my tickets a few weeks back, had them sent to me today. Yes, current uncertainty is killing my buzz, but I'm still committed.
