I'm all for being stingy and shafting the Rugby Australia out of any amount possible, I agree with you that if the seller does not want to sell how are you supposed to leverage it out of them. Unfortunately Rugby Australia have something we want and such an awful bottom line they need every dollar they can get.
How much are RugbyWA paying RA to lease the IP off of them? I assume Minderoo are paying for it anyway through the sub-lease arrangement you have with them.
I disagree with what I have read about (rumored or not) the planned change the name of the side should the IRPC get up and also the dumping of the Perth Spirit branding for the NRC.
Why fight so hard to get the IP back if it's just going to be disregarded or only partly used?
In December - when RugbyWA came out of Voluntary Administration I was led to believe by the Articles published in the West Australian
1. A deal was done with Rugby Australia (ARU)
2. Debt was forgiven
3. IP was returned.
It would appear that The West Australian newspaper got the information wrong.
Am I missing something?

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
"And importantly, RugbyWA has been handed back complete control of the Force and all its intellectual property."
The RA continue to be manipultive, they continue to prove that money means more to them than reconciliation and moving forward. Raelenes words were to draw a line in the sand, how can we when you hold our identity to ransom.

Fair cop, This was sold to us as our IP being returned, my quote was from the article where it states control was handed back, not ownership.
In my joy of thinking that finally the national governing body was stopping destroying the game in WA I wasnt looking for their carefully chosen words. Handing control isnt handing ownership

This ladies and gentlemen, is as clear cut example of why NOT to trust those lying, cheating, duplicitous wankers, why NOT to jump back in bed with them, and why NOT to draw a line in the sand as you will ever get.
Never forget it was a couple of "carefully chosen words" in the so called 'Alliance Agreement' that led us to this position
The long sobs of autumn's violins wound my heart with a monotonous languor
Yes but.....
By accident of constitutional structure, RugbyWA don't have any other bed.
They are a member union of RA and may not be able to sever that relationship without winding up the union as an incorporated body.
To do that sounds good, but what about the assets? Typically, they would not be available to hold in trust or gift to another body, they are usually transferred to the parent body.
