Perhaps they should be, but it shouldn't be done this way.. Sunwolves

Indeed. It would be more of the same treachery that we are seeing now.

Maybe the Sunwolves don't work out and can't recruit enough national team players or whatever. But the proper process has to be done.

Well if they have been warned that they need to improve or they are out, their contract must have some exit clauses in case it did not work out.

I would not be surprised if the company teams want out, I would actually expect they do. The Sunwolves has not worked, Japanese international's don't want to play for them than the foreign squad members would be lucky to make a starting line up elsewhere.

The two home grounds have been a failure, playing the Blues in 42-degree heat was a joke that should never have been allowed happen.

Look at Mafi, he turned down a contract with them to stay with the Rebels even though we finished last.

Home grounds a failure. Singapore. Yeah, I agree with you there but they've had much better crowds than well any of our lot in Tokyo. Singapore was more to suit the Saffers. But if the conferences were to be re-aligned as they should be then that's a non-issue.

Certainly better crowds than either the Force or Rebels. Oh, and they managed to beat the Blues. A kiwi team. Something we haven't managed in a year. While there's no question that the Sunwolves need a lot of work and things need to improve the JRFU have taken steps to address this by shifting the TL season in order to allow the SW to assembled earlier and actually have a proper lead in.

They need to sort out the issues they are having getting their internationals on board. That is holding them back. I tend to believe cutting them would be as short sighted as cutting one of ours. Particularly as I'm firm of the opinion that the Saffers are likely off north from 2021.

ok so its getting late here on AEST so I guess the announcement will come out later this afternoon in Perth when we are fully closed for the weekend? Here's my take: Arbitration rules in favour of Perth, Pulver is in Perth to announce, (late on Friday) that he has saved the teams and that all along he was a supporter of the five teams and Perth hold a street parade for the King of Rugby.

Or there's a lynching on St George's Terrace, followed by the customary offering to old mate Bertie

Guys, the GAGR mods fully understand that temperatures will be running high should the news be bad, but please refrain from going too OTT.

GAGR standards are still in place.

Good luck to the Force.

I've been carefully watching twitter guys and I believe the High Court is deciding whether the Western Force and the ARU are legally allowed to marry on the 5th of September or something like that.

Ironically I don't think this Video has been posted yet, when It could have been so every day.

Hope it's a good result for all involved, if it does eventuate.

All, just a fair warning: Should the arbitration news be bad news for the Force, any fan from ANY team spotted gloating or being provocative after the announcement will be banned for life. No exceptions.



Lets be classy and supportive.

Nobody wins if the Force lose.
