So where's the doc Twiggy based this accusation on?
Anyone seen it?
I am sure that anyone who manages to find the document will post it on here
Despite denying doing exactly that.Quote:

I would not put anything past this bunch of self-interested, forked-tongued vipers.
It's very obvious that is exactly what happened Alison. In fact it's pretty obvious to everyone around the country who's interested in the matter. Just about every move they made right from the time they bought the licence is bloody obvious. But they are determined to wriggle, obfuscate, flat out lie at every stage and don't seem bothered what anyone thinks of them. Legal technicalities will decide our fate.
Alison , I tend to agree that this needs to be investigated . Pulver and Clarke certainly knew the details of the Put option agreement that was exercised and they knew that Cox wanted to offload his rebels holdings - they were unable to buy it from him - but why did he sell it? And why did he sell it that week? What other transactions were negotiated at that time? It has already been revealed that Gary Gray received a percentage ownership of the melbourne rebels for his part in arranging the original sale of the rebels to Cox - and now both he and Rob Clarke are receiving payments for their advice and assistance to the new rebels CEO!! Almost immediately the ARU gifts the wooden spooner Genia!
Australian Rugby is dead. The behaviour of Clyne, the lack of cameraderie from the other unions, RUPA, the behaviour of the national coach. It's fucked. Why bother supporting or being a part of such a dishonest and dysfunctional setup.
The only way AUSTRALIAN rugby can get out of this is to dissolve, and start again from scratch. Just like soccer. And in some aspects like VFL morphing into AFL.
No more NSW and QLD running the show. No more pumping national cash into state comps (is Shute Shield). No more national coach being sole selector of the national team. No more national coach disgracing himself, his position and the country with his disgusting behaviour and embarrassing utterances.
And no more bankers or lawyers on the national board.
Ex, I think you are confusing Intellectual Property (such as the marketing rights to the Force logo) with the licence, which gives the right to participate in the competition. They are two different things. If the appeal is successful and the Own The Force only buys the licence but the ARU keeps the IP, then they get all money from merchandising, but we get control over our participation.
In many ways the vision presented in the Alliance agreement makes a lot of sense. It consolidates those activities that, if performed well, would benefit from centralisation.
The problem is that a lot of those activities (such as ticketing) have not been performed well. And as we have seen, one party to the agreement hasn't acted in good faith. And that's before we get onto the topic of whether the same party engaged in unconscionable conduct, deception and fraudulent misrepresentation.
