Private ownership doesn't mean that the national governing body continues to pump extra funds in to that specific team.

[Markos2012]

Imperium were paying themselves more than they were paying the players. Not an issue for the ARU.

[travelling_gerry]

Imperium paid itself for management fees more than they payed the players!

[Bakkies]

Surely that's enough to nail them.

[travelling_gerry]

Members of VRU have a percunery interest in the Imperium Unit trust.

[Markos2012]

I think we might have a smoking gun!! No due diligence either - Imperium were insolvent in NZ

[Bakkies]

Go Linda put the foot down now

MRRU not VRU

Unsigned deals Senator Smith and use Murray's testimony. We also need to know that the ARU stalled the Own the Force campaign as people couldn't commit their money if they didn't know that the team would survive.

[Markos2012]

Create more competition for spots - yes it will. In France, the UK and Japan.

[Bakkies]

Interesting to see that the Reference's committee are asking questions.

So strong NSW and QLD teams is good...........right.....
