Force 2018

[ShtinaTina]

1st bit was WA discussing the terms & definitions of the alliance agreement & arbitrators findings.

 

[Warpath]

Force and Rebel should combined and form the Jedi's :/

 

[The torpedo]

Force and Rebel should combined and form the Jedi's :/

I guess you could say in this scenario that the Rebels would become one with the Force

 

[ShtinaTina]

Justice Hammerschlag - Did anyone argue this as invalid due to vagueness? Re: the alliance agreement clause 2 and its extras.

(From the 1st bit)

Made me laugh as well as the press guys

 

[Moono75]

If this goes our way the Force will have a new club song for games at NIB. Sung to the tune of MC Hammers Hammertime

....can't touch this......da daaa da daaa da daaaaaa.....Hammerschlag! Da daaa da daaa daaaaa da...Hammerschlag!

 

[ShtinaTina]

Let's just get through this appeal process first!

 

[Killer]

I assume we won't know the result until next week?

I'd say so. The ARU asked if the result would be today, the judge laughed, inferring it's unlikely

 

[ShtinaTina]

Sorry Force fans, I can't be there for the arvo. The reporters are there, alert & attentive. I hope the Force have got the ARU on this one.

 

[Killer]

I'd say so. The ARU asked if the result would be today, the judge laughed, inferring it's unlikely

that sounds like a " is this just a quick open and shut case or do we have something to worry about" question?
No chicken counting yet, long way to go.

THANKS A LOT, very informative (TWF site)

Get to fuck...
Check this bit
"There's no suggestion the Super Rugby board ever agreed to cut the Western Force from its competition, a Sydney court has heard.

Barrister Robert Newlinds SC told the NSW Supreme Court on Wednesday it was the Australian Rugby Union's decision to axe the Force not SANZAAR (South African, New Zealand, Australian and Argentina rugby).

Mr Newlinds, acting for RugbyWA, said at the moment any suggestion SANZAAR had agreed to cut one of the Australian teams from the Super Rugby competition was wrong."

That then lead the discussion about the "at least" term used in the "renegotiated" agreement - being "at least 15 teams" not stipulating it couldn't be more than 15, just that it had to be 15 at the least.

Interesting -

So, Super Rugby must be at least 15 teams, not exactly 15, as the ARU keeps telling us.

And, SANZZZZZR had no role in culling the Force or any Australian team?

(potentially) AKA - the "madate" and "obligation" that Clyne has said the ARU has to cut a team is a load of shit. bunch of lying...

This isn't exactly news.......... it's always been the ARU's decision on which team to cut.

The members of SANZAAR agreed to cut a team......... decisions need to be unanimous so if the ARU voted against the cut it wouldn't have happened..........

Again, this isn't new information.

More the ARU spin more than anything the idea it wasn't ARU's decision alone.

 

[Slim 293]

Well, ultimately it wasn't the ARU's decision alone to reduce the number of teams in Super Rugby, but the ARU did choose to agree to cut the number of Australian teams down to 4 teams and which team to cut.

I think you missed the bit where SANZAAR may not have agreed to or been a party (yet) to cutting ANY Oz team

 

[The Snout]

Am I reading this right ?

The ARU may be under no legal obligation from SANZAR to cut a team. And with Twiggy Forrest's offer, no financial reason to either.

But as of yesterday they still want to ? I'm wrong surely.

Or even if intended, that may or may not explicitly be included in the actual agreement.
