    Well now we've established Greg Harris was who you meant; it was probably those pesky Force supporters from We Need Corners.

    Not that a flip-flop can be trusted, but Harris did seem to reverse his stance eventually.

    Might've sniffed the wind that the ARU would be rolled by it.

    Hey, some of those people were bloody legends who had nothing but the good of the game in their minds

    Of course others were militant rabble-rousers who thought of nothing but mischief.

    I'll let you figure out for yourself which camp I was in.

    I don't think he was in favour of cutting a team IIRC. Just wanted to move the Force to the Penriff district. Probably thought that would go down with the working class boy from Penriff who grew up to be ARU Chairman. The vast improvement of the Emus during his tenure is testament.

    Ah, you're right.

    Harris also helped the Tahs go down the dirty laundry chute (™ Tonkar) so he really came up trumps.

    IIRC they were pretty much all for the benefit of WA Rugby and the only rabble that felt roused was the WA Football Commissioners.
