    Not only that, the ARU toe rags conspired and lied about it!

    LATE last year, a senior SANZAAR official let it slip in a private conversation that the Western Force would be axed from Super Rugby.

    It came as a shock, and since there was no news of any planned cull to the competition over the next couple of months, the conversation was dismissed as misinformation. Force officials were told nothing by the ARU about plans for their demise.

    Then on the evening of March 27, when the Daily Telegraph first publicly revealed the plans to cut the Force, officials in the west remained miffed. There was still nothing from the ARU to confirm any such move. But their silence was alarming.

    It took until April 9, when SANZAAR announced that Super Rugby would be trimmed from 18 teams to 15 in 2018, that the Perth franchise knew what had long been suspected. The next day, ARU chairman Cameron Clyne and chief executive officer Bill Pulver addressed media, informing the public that either the Force or Melbourne Rebels would be cut from the competition “with 48-72 hours”.

    On April 11, Pulver flew to Melbourne to meet with Rebels licence holder Andrew Cox. That same day, the ARU’s chief operating officer Rob Clarke, and chief financial officer, Todd Day, flew to Perth to meet the Force’s board of directors.

    After entering the building, the pair said they wanted the meeting to be “in good faith”. They then produced a PowerPoint presentation, in three categories marked by pale blue, yellow and green coding, outlining the financial woes of the ARU and the need to cut a team.

    Then they revealed that cutting the Rebels would cost $13 million; $5.7 million to buy Cox’s license back and a further $8 million to pay the Victorian government who’d invested in bringing a 2020 Bledisloe Cup Test and a 2025 British & Irish Lions Test to Melbourne.

    It soon became apparent to Force officials that this was not a meeting to discuss options.

    “They were reading our last rites,” one figure at the meeting said.

    When questioned about the numbers they were presenting and whether they could be examined, Clarke and Day said they were confidential.
    The meeting ended and one of them asked if someone could ring them a taxi, the reply was 'get your own f-ing taxi, true story.

    Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.

    same douche that had it in for us from the start, because he was trying to cover up the financial disaster that he rode into a cushy ARU executive office.
