    Just seen the 7:30 report Alison. I think you nailed it. Short and sweet. The ARU senate inquiry will go into the murky depths but I think the show touched on enough of the injustices to get people to take notice. Again thanks for incredible efforts. Amazing that you got the media to listen, gives me so much more confidence in the inquiry. You are truely one special FORCE fan.

    Nice submission. Great read. I think by highlighting the ACT injustices you are showing the QLD-SYDNEY bias towards the rest of Australia which has alot more weight by including one of their neighbouring territories.

    Cheers. It needs to be put in to length particularly to Sen. Smith who has an interest in the cowboy's decisions that they affect school children not just professional players.

    Alison - succinct, to the point and very very well done.

    I would love one day to ask Cameron Clyne and the ARU board: " in your risk analysis and due diligence proceedings to cut the Force, did you weigh up the resistance and fight you would get?.."

    It was pretty clear from Pulver's answers to Sen. Reynolds in the first hearing that they didn't expect a fight. Clyne also gave that indication when Alan Jones tore strips off him.

    Well done Ali! I have to say is that my boss who is a big Force supporter and 'lazy' Diamond member often laughs at my tirades at work about the ERU, don't think he really got why I am so angry, and then I gave him the minutes of the last Senate meeting. Lo & behold he finally 'gets' the level of shit that went on & has cancelled his ARU subscription, won't watch Wallabies & hoping the IPRC starts soon, so I made a convert!
    On another note, going on a comment by Lou, there must be way of tracking the trail of money from the ARU poured into holding up Cox's business, and guarantee it's been ending up in Pulver, Clyne & Clarke's accounts. I reckon a bloodhound into their share holdings would tell a nice story.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words and for your support in getting the story out there. We've only seen the tip of the iceberg so far; hopefully tomorrow's hearing will go some way towards revealing the rest!

    And like you, Val, I wish there was some way we could get ASIC or the AFP or the ATO or someone to sniff out that money trail from mid-2015 onwards!!

    Just watched 7:30. Thanks again for your hard work and dedication Alison.
    If there is any justice there will be enough suspicion created for the senators to recommend a forensic investigation of the money trail. I just can't see how so much of Australian Rugby's finances can have been squandered by incompetence alone.
