And
Not much in the letter, and it was one of those self-destruct PDFs. You can only read once. Registered creditors received the letter - I'm not a creditor, but I did get to see it.
Just said the DOCA is executed on 27 May 2024, as per clause xxx of Corporations act. Signed, two dues from PwC. Nothing more than that really.

So from here....employees should get their Super paid in around a month. Other creditors will get 15c at the same time.
Negotiations officially begin around the participation licence. If no progress after 30 days, then there will be funding to get the lawyers involved.
The directors only regain control and pay the balance (up to 30c) if RA grant the licence, and ATO drop the DPNs

I’m surprised they didn’t announce it as the players ran onto the field, I should consider ourselves lucky

Not a surprising end result. Not their fault we got into the mess, but lots of respect lost for RA not playing with a straight bat from the beginning about their preferred outcome.
Hope as many players and coaches as possible get chances elsewhere, and another opportunity for Victorian Rugby emerges.

I'd argue that RA were dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. it wouldn't matter when RA made the announcement, they'd have people complaining about it.

The timing does suck. Can't deny that but I wonder if there are also some player/staff movement about to come out and RA ripping off a band aid is better than a obvious slow collapse. Any player agent worth a pinch would have been working on deals for months since rumours began.

Who is the xitter post by, is @rugbyaus1 a credible source?
No idea, but other sources have confirmed the same message. Guess it's off to court we go to fight for the Rebels licence.

I don't believe for a second this was their preferred outcome, they want rugby in Melbourne. It's just no one can afford it, even the new 30 million offer. Especially with the 'threat of legal action' hanging over them.
It's a damn shame, would love to have kept 5 teams.
Although I'll hold hope till an official announcement is made, some random dude on Twitter isn't my go-to source

If they'd left it til after finals you'd have people (rightfully) upset that the Rebels didn't get a 'proper' last match. I'd imagine many of the players may feel similarly.
