It was $6milion a year and it was to be re-directed to “grassroots”. Fail and epic fail.

Those hacks are just looking to deflect attention away from Super Rugby as it hurtles towards the buffers post 2020. When that day comes, I hope WSR is very judicious in the distribution of press passes and access to WSR games.
One slight issue I have with the "$6 million", was that this was the grant for all other teams (bar Melbourne). The only year we received a grant either equal or greater than the other teams was 2016 when, IIRC, the other teams got ~$5.2 million, whilst we got a 'grant' of ~$3.7 million, and a 'bail-out' of ~$3.5 million. If we'd have received the same grant as the other sides, the 'bail-out' would have been less.
Spot on Sheikh. The playing field was never even. Never.
The Force got around $8.8 million last year the extra money was part of the Assassination Agreement. The Rabble over $10 million. Nick Taylor reckons the payout to Rabble directors to clear debt was well under a million.
The Brumbies received less than the Reds and Waratahs.
I see where you got that story from.

But I have not been to answer my own questions.
