Wouldn't write off the Chiefs or the Landers, especially the Chiefs. A number of gaggers have questioned whether Tameifuna was a loss or a gain.

They also lost Liam Messam (committed to the Sevens). Chiefs and Crusaders are young teams without a lot of experience ATM. Similars to the Reds. For me the top 3 are: Highlanders, Brumbies and the Argies. So you have a big opportunity next year ;)

$2.6million in losses over the past 2 years.. I think that's all of the profits from the sale of the old club eroded away.

That sounds a lot. Is the ARU throwing money at the Ponies like have done previously at Rebels (and my mob every 5 years when we need bailing out because the Board hasn't managed things properly).

Administrators running things at a deficit is noting new in Australian Rugby.

I couldn't be arsed sourcing any articles right now, but that loss was announced a long, long time ago.......... and they're expecting a big turnaround in the upcoming season.

WTF is going on? Members deserve better than this shit going into next season. Seiffert or Sydney definitely weren't in my considerations when taking out next year's memberships.

Sort it out, and quickly, Brumbies.

So the Brumbies are fighting with UC, with the ACT government over the stadium and with the Vikings over the NRC? Great.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe as part of my membership I have purchased particular seats, at a particular venue, for particular dates (some of the seats being the same as the previous 15yrs), I don't recall in my membership renewal any seating packages offered except for Canberra stadium.

So have I and all the member's been dudded and bought memberships on false pretences or is this more of the continuing political idiocy with Canberra sport from all parties?

The Brumbies and the ACT government need to face the fact they both look utterly incompetent that fact that one is fighting for scraps ($1.6mil) with hollow threats of moving, the other has been "taken advantage of" (trying to keep it clean) by handing out $2.3mil a year to GWS for 3 games a year and hung out a team in the process.

The only positive coming out of all of this is rugby in Canberra is losing its elitist image; as compared to the other footy codes, NRL and AFL we look like the dumb-ass!

Next it will be about a NRC team in Canberra without money, all because of some incredibly ridiculous reason like we don' t like the colour of jersey or the people paying for it! Oh wait! FFS!

Anyone got a Raiders membership pack spare?

Whilst it would be adventageous for the Waratahs if the Brumbies played a home game in Sydney, I'll be disappointed if it happens.

I enjoy my annual trip to Canberra to watch the Tahs play and then do something cultural the day after (e.g. James Turrell at the NGA this year).

It won't happen. I think they're just trying to get more money out of the deal which is what they should be doing since GWS play about 4 games here per year but get twice the money.
