If that is the case then I stand corrected.I thought Super teams had a mandated minimum spend of the salary cap.

BUTTTTT, If the Rebels had guarantees the money was comgin, their levels debt would be similar to those rumoured to NSW for example AND the Tax man wouldn't be in their back....and finally lets' not forget the Rebels were mandated to spend 90% of the cap.Yeah that's the thing for me. Whether or not RA underfunded the Rebels - no one forced the Rebels to spend money they didn't have.
Then I will be requesting my money back. It is not the game they sold.My spies say that the Drua will be replacing the Rebels v. Lions.
If it does change I'd be very surprised if they didn't offer refunds. I don't think they'll struggle to sell Drua v Lions tickets in their place, it'd be the most exciting tour match on the calendar, at least for the traveling fans.Then I will be requesting my money back. It is not the game they sold.
I dunno, Lions vs Drua, Marvel Stadium, just before the 2nd Test , that'll be a crackerThat is true but it is only true for the first string Lions side and not the third string which is the side that will play the domestic games like this one. The numbers that will come into Melbourne to see a Lions vs domestic team is minimal beyond the people doing tours. The Wallabies vs Lions yes lots will come, Lions vs Rebels or Drua not so much.

And NSW and the Brumbies would be in surplus but RA would be broke. You throw words out like guarantee, I suspect there was no contract written nothing signed, other then we are reducing the amount and we will increase it after covid has been done.BUTTTTT, If the Rebels had guarantees the money was comgin, their levels debt would be similar to those rumoured to NSW for example AND the Tax man wouldn't be in their back....and finally lets' not forget the Rebels were mandated to spend 90% of the cap.
Not say the Rebe;s are innocent but there are mitigating factors
This maths doesn't math - the 'up to' $8m from RA doesn't cover the reported $11.6m owed to the ATO, and it still sits them at about 2x the reported debts of the Tahs.BUTTTTT, If the Rebels had guarantees the money was comgin, their levels debt would be similar to those rumoured to NSW for example AND the Tax man wouldn't be in their back....and finally lets' not forget the Rebels were mandated to spend 90% of the cap.

That's exactly right and that's the job of the CEO to generate revenues - if Baden wasn't up to it, then the directors should have replaced him long ago. They fell asleep in their corporate suite and let him run the club into the groundits the lack of other income, no gate receipts for 2 years (it might have been 1&1/2), perhaps fewer sponsorship $, coupled with cost of playing away for those two years which are problem, it would seem the board were relying on either PE or RA coming good with the extra money to pay off the ATO and keep kicking the can down the road.
And how many others would put their hand up to do it? I mean it wouldn’t be in the top 15 jobsThat's exactly right and that's the job of the CEO to generate revenues - if Baden wasn't up to it, then the directors should have replaced him long ago.
