I think Senator Reynolds may be doing a fair bit of that right now

I think that would depend on the management. The memberships may be more forthcoming though

Well two of my concerns are now overturned. We have a decent coach and will have a full playing compliment. Now we need astute Board, senior management, sponsors and members.

Is that a reference to TT as coach then? and it is better to have no coach than have TT? Well Cyclopath dont shoot me, this is on pointe

The problem for me is that when Pulver and Clyne talked of the process they referred to the big spread sheet and the score card that inferred it was about financial viability and actual performance on field but now Pulver is clearly saying the spreadsheet had nothing to do with who was to get...

Thank you Rebels3. I agree with you about talent and I'll even go so far as to say we have had talent in the past too. I think Nick Stirzaker was talented but his coaches and injuries let him down in the past two seasons - before that he was a potential Wallaby. Of course, Genia is a tried and...

sigh it's a bit like telling jokes about your old nan at her funeral - no one wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room

F*&king thirsty now

Hope eh?

What exactly does the future hold for the Rebels? It is a club on the brink of insolvency without the Vic Gov funds , it has no head coach, it is missing about a third of its playing team, no main sponsorships and falling memberships. So what is the Board doing that's different from what they've...

Maybe Wessells is stringing the Rebels along - having secretly signed the Munster contract!

Looks like negotiations have stalled: 1. to shift the licence back to the VRU the Rebels needs to be debt free and right now, it isn't 2. Cox still reserves his rights to continue litigation 3. Victorian Government is too smart to get caught in the middle of a s&^t fight with the ARU after being...

He has always been involved in the wheelings and dealings all things rugby - ironic though that he helped to facilitate the sale of the rebels - and even got a payment for his efforts - and now he's involved in the resurrection - is he getting a payment for this ? Or part ownership?

It's good to know that when you have an old school buddy in office you can always count on him for support to help you get a job - seems that pulver is pulling strings to get rob Clarke back down in Melbourne running what's left of the rebels - ps Baden is most probably employed by imperium ( as...

Heard Gary Gray has been sniffing around around the big end of town trying to become part of the renewed rebels going forward - anyone heard anything on that front ?

Some analysis of ARU v NZRU Corporate spend as a % of Revenue shows an interesting picture: In 2011, ARU $ Turnover was 75.6 m, ARU Corporate spend was 14.7 m, 19.4 % while NZRU $ Turnover was $77.8 m (in AUD equivalent), NZRU Corporate spend was $5.6 m, 7.1%. In 2016, ARU $Turnover is now...

I heard the girly bars get a big hit when TT loses, so some parts of the economy do all right

So the 2016 annual report is finally out and the ARU gave away an extra $2.6 m to Cox on top of last year's $1.4 m = $4m in extra funding, so far, more to come!! I hope the other franchise fans continue to support Melbourne Rebels next year since the ARU will have more funds available for their...

Surely at this important meeting the Rebels owner would be in attendance to cast his vote, but according to Wayne, he is lolling around the NZ wineries http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/super-rugby-arus-axe-to-fall-on-force-or-rebels/news-story/6ecb8d8abebe818065a1e3f4733582cd
