From Wayne Smith at the Australian:
Does Wayne Smith know something about exchanges between the WA Government and the ARU which we don't?“That tier (professional rugby) is the one that is causing most concern.”
It could soon be causing concern for other reasons. The Force’s position has been strongly supported by the West Australian government, which has made it clear that it will take a dim view if the Perth club is cut after the state government poured about $100 million into the redevelopment of NIB Stadium on the understanding that there would be an ongoing Super Rugby presence in the city.
At present, legal action has been only hinted at by the government but the ARU would be wise to treat the threat very seriously.
