The Aru need to grow some balls and just cut the rebels because it's the right thing to do for Australian rugby. Deal with the consequences after.

Just because your view is that it is the right thing to do, doesn't mean that it is everyones view.

If they do, the ARU will be sued out of existence.

Hopefully, they come to their senses and realise that they can't cut the Force or the Rebels for both legal reasons and as a matter of sense. Both WA and Victoria are creating new pathways for rugby players. Long may it continue.

Right thing for Aus Rugby and Super Rugby is to cut the Sunwolves but that means no easy hand out and not following SANZAR (notice i left out the 2nd A, as in it doesnt suit SA, NZ or Argies). Australia who apparently are 33.33% and can veto are in such a shit situation because of themselves. It has nothing to do with expansion but the management/administration/cant-get-over-themselves bullshit (even if a team is cut, where the fuck is the solution?)

Yes it has taken 11 years but it is now showing, as in it might(/will if givin the opportunity) show for Vic too. A national footprint is beneficial overall in the long term.

In reality a legal case or private ownership have nothing to do with it. NSW, ACT and QLD should be just as upset with the ARU to willingly cut a team with out showing how they intend to actually fix their current fuck ups.

Why Rugby is failing? So called heartland not giving a fuck, coz it doesnt concern them attitude? (kiwi guy told me this shit would never happen in NZ coz everyone would lose their shit)

Well Aus rugby, what have you done to support Aus rugby?

Someone has to go. The force academy is pushing out genuine super rugby players right now and has the better following. It is the right move to keep the force. If they don't make a decision and both stay the rebels will go after 2018 for sure.

The ARU might've been right to cut the Force.........

BAD WORLD

World’s most dangerous cities revealed – from drug cartel run hellholes to war-ravaged cities where headchopping ISIS fanatics run wild

Australia and New Zealand

Perth and Western Australia


A dark secret is lurking far from Australia's famous tourist hotspots.

Crystal meth abuse Down Under has turned rural areas in Western Australia into what have been dubbed “Ice Towns”.

The state’s largest city, Perth, sees its hospitals filled with addicts who commit crimes to fund their habit.

Western Australia is also reported to have the purest form of the drug leading to fears users could accidentally overdose.

Worked in those a lot of rural areas of WA, and worked in their counterparts in other states. Not a lot of major differences to be had in regards to drug and social issues.

Still hilarious though, and it's really fun using it to fire all my mates back in WA up.

WA seems to have a fetish about pretending to be super dangerous and the worst of the worst despite the fact that it is childs play to most places, hell probably even compared to the East coast.

EDIT: So, just see this is from the Sun. So we can instantly disregard this as they are proven liars in the UK court system.

Haha. Admittedly i have never been to Perth (well until i venture there for the test this year) but i have never ever, ever, ever, ever heard any correlation between WA and dangerous or any actually any distaste towards the place at all in general (always positive reviews). I always (and could be wrong) thought the suburbs would be childs play compared to certain parts of greater Sydney or the area between the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Only feral thing iv heard from WA is the hardcore Dockers or Eagles fans.

^^^^^^^^ "the area between the Gold Coast and Brisbane" has a name y'know. Rhymes with Bogan IIRC & there's a reason for that (I used to live there so I'm allowed to say that :)).

It's basically one big demilitarised zone. 21 years there was enough, I'm never moving back.

No one outside of the secret squirrel society knows. And maybe not even them.

It's why we have been flogging ourselves to death reading things into every little media report or innocent comment.

At least with a criteria, we could look at it and say either "yep, my team meets that", or, "shit, could be screwed here".

But that is far too black and white.
