That is true. It is pretty bad because the trains always seem to leave 15-20 minutes after people get to the station. I normally drive and park on the other side of the river.

I reckon he should also ask demand the same player payments for every club. All this talk about the extra money going to the Rebels and ignoring the extra $2.5 million going to the Waratahs every year.

The walk to the city is pretty significant but if you go the other way then it is less than 5 mins walk to Richmond station (one stop to Flinders Street) and 10 to the Precinct, Corner or Cricketers arms in Richmond.

Well, they have to write something .... but of course, there are 3 other teams in Australia, they may be having discussions with one of them. Also, is Cox the sole owner of the Rebels? The May statement from the Rebels commented on "neither the Melbourne Rebels nor its owners". Maybe people...

Hehehe

Funny how history always repeats itself ;)

Unfortunately, I'm off in the US for work :( I just #$%&ing well hope that they don't scrap my club and that I've seen my last Rebels game.

Just hitting a like button doesn't signify how much I agree with her statement and the passionate way she puts forward her argument. Thank you for sharing that.

I still don't get it. Can someone explain to me why we were ok with 5 teams with broadcast rights at $23 million per year but then with $47 million we are under financial pressure and have to destroy rugby in one of the states. From the SMH in December 2015 Surely with that extra $24...

How about "Nothing at all happened today for Rugby in Australia" I'm not sure I go with the full conspiracy theory. I do believe the RUPA and the VRU had good intentions but they were never going to get anywhere with them

The WRU were obviously not stupid and made sure that they were safe from being culled. Imperium as well wouldn't want to invest time or money in a team which could be pulled at the whim of the ARU. Whatever people think about Cox, he has invested significant time in the Rebels and I'm sure...

I agree but then selling the Rebels off and signing an agreement to keep the Force in to 2020 wasn't exactly a great move if you thought that 5 teams was not sustainable.

So, keep the licence and then shut it down in a couple of years Selling it was just stupid.

Dunno why they didn't just knife the Force instead of signing up on the Alliance Agreement :) But seriously, you are completely right. If they knew that 5 teams was not going to work and one team was going bankrupt - then why didn't they let them fold. And the answer - because they have no...

I didn't think the Force got a vote anymore.

Does the team voting against the cut change depending on which team is planning to be cut?

Absolutely none. Was it the board who voted or the members?

Encrusted with diamonds of course.

The Force fans have shut off our phones? Where will the infighting end! :D

From the same article Ouch.
