We were Melbourne Reds a few years ago so no harm at all

After today’s effort, it’s not out of the question.

The salary cap question is interesting, if you read some of the stuff from RUPA in the cutting process.
The amount of the tv deal distrupted to clubs will remain the same, just goes between 4 teams instead of 5.
I also love how no one has pointed the finger at Fox sports as they could have saved the Force from the get go.

Grants aren’t increasing to the Super Rugby teams, a team is been cut because revenue forecasts have fallen short for the ARU.
FoxSports told ARU their preference was to retain 5 teams.

I think:
10. Lance
12. Hodge
22. Horwitz
With Horwitz replacing Lance in the 55-65th minute window and Hodge moving into 10 in the majority of games, and Hodge only playing outside 10 & 12 in the event that both DHP & Maddocks are injured.
I think that best promotes our needs and Wallaby desires.

IIRC FoxSports have been consistent in publicly supporting the 5 teams model as it benefited them. They were also wanting more rugby products. I have no idea why they said yes unless it was just easier than dealing with incompetent ARU and SANZAAR and having to re-negotiating a TV deal one year in to an existing deal.
I would hazard a guess it was the view of most of the broadcasters. To cluster it so badly that you are screwed in the first year of your TV deal shows you are pretty clueless!
If you want to talk about the Force axing use the Force thread. If you want to talk about the ARU's efforts in that debacle use the ARU thread. Do not foul up club threads with this stuff. Any talk of the Shrinking of Australian rugby in this thread will be deleted from now on.

I doubt Tuipulotu has done enough to send English to the bench.

Yeah, I see your point but I was impressed by him in the U20s and the NRC.

The more depth the better atm I reckon. I think in the last 3 years we've seen players blooded too early because of the lack of super rugby ready players to the detriment of these youngsters. Plenty of this happened at the reds and the rebels have a talented bunch coming through. The more time they mature into their bodies and learn the game the better.

Horwitz is no loss to the Tahs.
I'm wondering how he will go without the Randwick push?

Realistically, you lack depth in the centres and the backrow. That's where signings will happen.
