What about a Force/Rebels v Tahs/ARU war?

The disgraceful NSW bias in the ARU, as well as at Fox, is at least partly to blame for this fiasco. The attitude from the ARU is as if the sole effect of having 5 teams in Super Rugby is that it has weakened the Tahs and they don't mind who they run over in the race to make amends.
Meanwhile at Fox, ARU apologists and Tahs cheerleaders (I'm looking at you Phil Waugh and Steven Hoiles) are licking their lips while they decide which parts of the corpse they will get to devour.

I reckon Hoiles is very supportive of all in Australian Rugby. What data are you basing your criticism on? Maybe I have missed something.

The season began with a lot of grumblings about our draw - the first half dozen games we were told would be tough - well we have four games left:
27 May v Crusaders - leaders of the ladder and undefeated all season (at least when we played them the first time, we had actually beaten them on home ground - there was a chance we could do it again)
3 June v Brumbies - an away game against the Aust Conference leaders with 4 wins under their belt - lets see the "Southern Rebels" A team play the B team
7 July v Force - another away game against our foes with 3 wins under their belt
14 July v Jaguares - these guys are currently 10th on the ladder with 5 wins this season to date.
If only we could have an easier draw to bring home some wins

Just read an article from Roy Ward from The Age regarding Sean McMahon planning to decide on his future in next few weeks. It also discusses our backline for Crusaders game:
-Stirzaker could return from injury if he gets through training but remains in doubt;
-English and Sefa's availability is highly questionable ;
- Hodge (obviously) has to pass concussion tests ;
- Goddard and Tuipulotu are heading for Under 20s World Cup ;
- Maddocks injured his arm ;
- Last man standing in backline Japanese winger Kentaro Kodama.
- Rebels may need to pluck as many as 2 backs from Shute Shield to fill bench.

So, all good then.

Without Goddard we need another scrummie if Stirzy isn't back.

Does that mean Maddocks has been withdrawn from the Under 20 World Cup squad?

Based on my reading of article yes it says "while outside back Jack Maddocks was meant to travel as well but suffered an arm injury against the Waratahs which has put him on the injury list."

Just going to throw it out there. Is this the most players a club has ever used in a season? We have had only 1 player, play in every game this season.

I actually fear for this week

What's the worst that could happen? Hang on, just making a list.
