You have normally been on the ball when you post so I will believe it for the weekend at least.

I don't doubt the Lobster. For your info is Rock solid.

Are you saying that after Cox got his extra $6 m in 'secret' payments over and above what other franchises got, he pulled the plug and 'gifted' the Rebels back to the ARU?

The rumoured price was a lot higher than 6 and it was vic government backed

I, for one, welcome our new state government backed overlords.
A read through previous posts, and you'll probably guess who it is.

Have the ARU signed off on it?

I'm not familiar with all the details.
Do you mean Cox has sold to the VRU and their backers with them accepting all risk.
The VRU knows for the deal to be validated it needs to be signed off by the ARU this being the risk?
The strength comes from the fact that they are a strong hand compared to Cox when dealing with the ARU as they are only interested in having a team?
If so no wonder Clyne is considering running away.
Pulver, if both teams have solid legal cases, is just delusional or trying a low % bluff?

Sorry, no offence, but this is just more click bait. I'll believe it when it comes out of the ARU's mouth.
I'm working, as always, on the assumption that 99.99% of the population knows nothing, and the 0.01% that know something, aren't saying anything yet.

No-one here knows. See above.
In answer to your questions, I can safely say that no-one here knows. See above the above.

I'll be there. I plan on asking Clyne if we will know anything in the next 48-72 hours. Funny thing is, we actually might have some idea in that timeframe (but won't hold my breath!).
Unless, of course, he chickens out and doesn't attend.

Arbitration starts on Monday, so the chances of Cam saying anything resembling an actual answer to any questions relating to the saga, would be astronomically small.
I would very much like video footage of you asking Clyne that question though; your street cred and Melbourne legend status would be forever assured!

ARU had to sign off on it so it probably means they required a lot of Government and Vic Rugby financial guarantees so that if they continue to struggle financially, the ARU won't need to bail them out, it will be the obligation of someone else. eg the vic government for x period of time.

I always thought it was more of a smiling assassin.
In this context though, either interpretation is correct.

The crustacean has been rock-solid thus far!
I was under the impression that the deal needed an ARU rubber stamp, which was difficult to attain given the forthcoming arbitration with the Force?
