Rebels3

I was not sure if i was wasting my time in replying, but i will bite as i am in the process of an office change at work.
a) for starters the process has nothing to do with fair, its more to do with a lack of transparency and class.
b) the ARU had no jurisdiction over the Rebels, who just like Force if given the opportunity would of shored up their position, unfortunately they weren't in a position to do so. Let me say that again, how could the ARU get rid of the Rebels? if you could answer that sensibly and legally then the Force would like to know.
c) most Rebels supporters are for 5 teams, i challenge you to look through this thread and find 5 statements for 5 different people who have been anti force. Once again you are resorting to dribble and not facts
d) again what is fair? we shored our own finances up this season through investors and the government, what more do you want of us? We'd be the first to admit so much money has been wasted on the Rebels, if the decision was last year, the year before that etc then the Rebels should/would of been a very easy decision for the ARU but this year the ARU had absolutely no where to go.
e) no one to pity you? well stop spending every moment commenting and replying how despicable the rebels are... on a rebels thread. You sound like a bitter/jilted lover, in a loveless marriage, which everyone including you could see was coming to an end. The ex has well and truly moved on, but you spend every waking moment trying to make his, his friends, childrens lives a living hell in spite. We have and still are to a lesser extent refused to speculate over players, etc at the time.
e) whats there to be embarrassed by? rugby is as strong as it has ever been in Victoria. Just like WA our numbers are up every year, the talent we are producing is starting to contribute, but we aren't also under delusion that we aren't even close to NSW or QLD when it comes to talent and what we contribute
Twiggy seems to have built a bridge and trying to move forward, its probably about time others do the same. Like i said in an earlier post, not one person is asking you to forget, but maybe its time to constructively rebuild from what everyone agrees is a shambolic situation
