    Have the ARU ever outlined what they intend to do to keep rugby strong in WA. Would love to see the comprehensive plan for that.

    1. Let WA develop players to Super Rugby standard
    2. Force WA players to come over to Eastern Australia to play rugby and represent their country.
    3. ???
    4. Profit!

    Oooh, I can answer that. They're going to repeatedly make the statement

    whilst continuing to use all of the money they've saved in culling the Force to prop up the Rebels.

    Couldn't help myself and had to reply:

    I wish you had not bothered with this reply as it is just an insult to my intelligence.
    Your arguments are completely false! When the fact that the team that has cost you twice as much as the Force is still in the competition with no sponsor and now picking over the bones of a team which was guaranteed to be no future loss to you. And would have been a windfall to your grassroots argument, whatever money you think you are saving by this is nothing in comparison to the fans and rugby loving public you have lost in this great state.
    Now peddle your BS to someone who cares and believes it. I look forward to the results of the senate inquiry. Please do not respond to this email I'm not interested.

    Apart from cut and paste responses outlining the pathway teams, no the imbiciles haven't. I have raised that in my submission.

    I would have requested a response and outlined that the money that is supposed to go to community Rugby will be used to cover your own incompetence, shortfall of losing three sponsors in a week, inability to promote the game and to cover the financial mismanagement of the Rebels and Reds

    ps, I'm strongly hoping that only a small number of the Force boys actually follow Dave to the Rebels, because I want to see this fail far more than I want to be the gracious man and wish the boys well.

    If the Rebels transplant the entire Force team into Melbourne, replace a couple of fringe players with Koroibete and Hodge and succeed, the ARU will point to that and use it to justify killing the Force. I can understand that the team will consider that to be no great difference (they're still playing the game with their teammates after all) but it will be a gross injustice to every rugby player in WA and therefore, I am calling upon every god who will listen to ensure that the remaining three seasons of Super Rugby sees all Australian teams performing worse than this year.

    I think Karma would be quite happy to indulge me.

    ps No disrespect intended towards professional rugby people who have to support their families.

    Even if they win more games next year they will still be broke. I also don't buy the line about supporting their families. They didn't have to sign with the Rebels and they had options overseas.

    I can accept a bloke feeding his family by taking a dodgy deal and making sure his kids don't need to go to school speaking a foreign language.

    As long as that same bloke realises that I wish him well, and want his team to fail utterly.

    English is the main language spoken in Limerick and the players have had offers on the table since the Supreme Court decision.

    Thanks I am hoping this is discussed in the inquiry as this goes to the heart of the matter for me.
