I said this about 4 yrs ago and was told to take my tinfoil hat off.. There has been a conspiracy against the Western Force for a few yrs.. The problem The 2 so called heartland teams.. They are very worried that with the Expat population of WA that they will be loosing the so called top dog role in Rugby.. With the AFL investing 200 million into getting 2 Sydney teams up and running and the NRL expanding.... The sponsorship $$$ will be spreading wider.. WA mean while has 2 AFL teams 1 soccer and now 1 rugby team.. The NRL have declared that they will not push into the WA market until union is done and dead.. WA rugby is the best and Will be a very competitive side in the next 5 yrs if they are left in the comp.. Players are now seeing the future in Rugby in WA.. The old boys clubs have no one to blame but themselves.... I would really like to know the answer to Alison's ????? What was the process that lead to the Western Force selling the IP back to the ARU.. Could we have raised the funds thru the Own the Force then... Or was it a push from the ARU to complete the puzzle..??? The only thing that really urks me the most is that a group of over paid bullies are holding to ransom the lives of the players and Admin staff of 5 SR clubs .. Not just the Force and Rebels as anyone with a contract has to be placed somewhere else.. .. The ARU are driven by the NSWRU and it will not change just wish some of the Younger members could do something about it..
