Hell, the RA would take away the IP of the remaining Supe teams as well if they could. Even that of the Tahs, who had to downsize their admin recently to stay free from the clutches of Brett Robinson's cronies.
If the name is only going to be used on loan for the NRC (as run by RA), well, it might be okay to go along with that shit sandwich.
The history at least survives in a token form.
Comparatively little should be invested from WA into the NRC. Just keep using it as a development comp while it lasts.
Not one red cent should be spent rebuilding the brand owned by RA, IMO.
The focus should be on the new Perth pro team they don't have claws in. If that name is the Perth Force, then all good.
