Did they offer him a lesser figure? did they try to make a deal?
What is your take on the ARU giving T North a copy of the Force ARU Alliance agreement? a highly confidential document.
I haven't got time now got to get going to the Test.
As I've said before on numerous threads:
The only thing I'm happy about in this process is that the Rebels are alive in Super Rugby: if we'd gone, we'd be gone in entirety, no 2nd chances, and I'm happy that the VRU did everything in their power to make that the case.
Everything else about the process has been shambolic, uncompromising, nepotistic and fundamentally backhanded coming almost entirely from the ARU.
I'm not Twiggy's biggest fan by any means, but I am genuinely interested and excited to see his new comp and hopefully the Force thriving in it, retaining Wessells and any and all players the ARU doesn't influence over to the Eastern Seaboard with Wallabies Contracts/potential places.
I'm also not particularly happy about the some of the other Rebels fans attitudes, who've shifted to being a little more antagonistic since Monday, and I reckon the Senate enquiry is a very good thing to get all this shit aired out: even if it comes to nothing as is 99% likely.
Hope you enjoy yourself at the Test tonight Killer. Passion for Pro Rugby at non-Test level is something sorely lacking in this country, and you and your fellow Force supporters supply that in abundance.
