To me this seems like incredibly good manoeuvring from Pulver. Ultimately this is his fault. Whether the problem was caused by him or not. He's the CEO, and hasn't made the right adjustments to steer us away from the cliffs.

Because the tahs lost to the kings? Hardly. They got what they deserved from the performance they put in. The most funded team in Aus rugby is super rugby's most under performing team, has been for at least 10 years now, and will be for the foreseeable future. As you cant change ingrained...

Shots fired!!! the ARU/RWA Relationship is totally ruined now. Working with them next year and onwards is going to be fun... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's pretty much it. The Chairman is happy to throw the 28 million around, however he neglects to mention how it was distributed. IMO trying to give off the indication that it was spread evenly. Which if said so overtly, would be a blatant lie. Given that the main reason for this...

I think the ARU releasing this magic "criteria" that they apparently evaluated the two clubs on would be interesting. The fact that it hasn't been released or leaked leads me to believe it doesn'texist. or possibly that it would be incredibly damning to the ARU and the 3 "safe" teams. As well...

like Bairdy said, plenty of discussion going on. but you're right. i'm sick of it, the entire situation is fucked. I've been trying to stay as reasonable and objective for the discussion as i can, because at the moment the last place i would want to be employed is RWA or the Rebels. Never...

There is also room for an over subscription to raise a total of $15 mil. Making these numbers look all the better.

silence in regards to what?

it's funny cos it's true :(

unless of course - we had the bledisloe and then decided to walk away from it

"consultation process" That's the biggest load of shit i have ever heard! the "consultation process" was them flying into Perth to tell RWA and the force that they can fuck off. even though the ARU had already entered into an agreement to maintain the force until 2020...

That stands to reason though. More overall appeal for the international teams. SH rugby has/is a powerhouse & arguably is setting the pace for the rest of the world. makes sense people tune in. I know i watch 6N but not the provincial games in the NH. I tune in when i can to watch the Eagles...

My apologies.

ok, travel is paid for by sanzaar, it has no impact on the ARU's balance

Putting the blinders on here and purely looking at the financial assistance. the force and the rebels - overall have received very different amounts of funding. Indeed RWA was forced into a sale for any additional assistance while the other franchises have been given money (yes, the tahs paid...

But it can be reclaimed. RWA and the public are willing to reimburse the ARU for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that's right, he was meant to have a head coach, an attack, defence, forwards and backs coach under him - although you would imagine he would have taken on the forwards and scrum. but the money ran out. we lost emirates and then we were never able to set up the coaching team as planned. there...

AFAIK Chekia had agreed to terms with the force, and had a contract ready to sign, then obviously changed his mind and went to the tahs. it is what it is. Not bitter about that anymore because at the end of the day he did what he thought was best for him and his family

Yeah he does. I'm still nervous though. and yeah this is why it's frustrating. The ARU as the governance body might not have had power over hiring and firing of coaches. but when in the past they have had to assist clubs financially after past coaches and employees have had to have been paid...

that and the ARU have allowed coaches to be signed who have absolutely no justification for being there. Graham and foley should not have gotten the force jobs. Graham should DEFINITELY not gotten the reds job stiles should not have gotten the reds job when you had all the wealth of...
