    He’s a friend of the Australian game if we wants the ABs weakened.

    Rd 8: Rebels v Highlanders - Sat 13th

    Could you just piss off and let us enjoy our footy for a while after we win without feeling the need to remind us about what the future holds. You’re history on here shows you to be a petty, vindictive troll - maybe worry about the shitshow in your own backyard for a while.

    It’s in RA’s to play nice though - fool me once etc

    But they also don’t need to accept it either. Likely a substantial breach of contract and renegotiate if they see they can make money with an entity with very few options and a trashed wallaby brand post World Cup.

    Whose participation claims aren’t. My local club claims 5,700 players across junior and senior leagues. I also cant think of many people I know who don’t play, used to play, or have a kid playing. There are such low barriers to entry.

    But built of massive junior participation all year round. Their audience was there, they just had to capture it.

    Assuming it takes a couple of years as primary kicker to rack up 100 points, and 9 of the top 11 are kickers, it seems about right from a kicker perspective - you can see the lineage in the list. There’s also 3-4 dominant try scorers in there. How many more should we have?

    Waratahs 2023 annual report. For clarity not the NSWRU annual report. That and the newspaper alleged $6m Waratah debt to be funded by RA.

    The second group you mention would be the other beneficiary - at the moment they’re not going to get a cent. If a DOCA gets up because the Rebels directors get some money out of RA then they’ll see something. I’d expect in that situation the director loans would be written off - that is the vibe...

    They personally tipped in as much cash to keep the Rebels going (as non-owners) as RA did to keep the Tahs afloat this year. I’d put it more like ‘rules for some’, but yeah basically. If NSWRU has money and assets, why were the Tahs centralised with RA absorbing their debt? One set of...
