Management going back on their word to overpay stars, a coach jumping before the fall so his record looks good and he has more chance of the wallaby job. A playmaker found out at he next level who went from testing himself on the open market to signing long term for the security, how embarrassing for defending champions to miss the playoffs, are they the first?
The thought of losing at home to a team "rotting from the head" in a rebuilding year must be a horrible thought. All the pressure is on the mighty reds, Tahs are already on holidays while reds are walking cock proud on the old "mathematic possibility". Unfortunately. Win, lose or draw, both teams will be remembered as equals, both failed to qualify. Only difference is, the fall from the top is much greater.
