ROAD SAFETY WESTERN FORCE STATEMENT
By David Berrie on Mon 10th April 17
The RugbyWA Board had an unsatisfactory meeting with Australian Rugby Union (ARU) management representatives today that highlighted that the terms of the assessment and process being used to evaluate ourselves and the Rebels were inconsistent and inequitable.
Discussions also failed to address the responsibilities that exist in the Alliance Agreement between RugbyWA and the ARU and we felt in order to protect our position it was necessary to issue legal proceedings to protect our rights under the Alliance Agreement.
Initially we had particular concerns about the 72-hour deadline to respond, however we have now been advised that we will have further time to present our business case.
Today further highlighted the importance of the Own the Force campaign to strengthen our negotiating position with the Australian Rugby Union to ultimately secure the Road Safety Western Force in Perth.
We urge all supporters who pledged their commitment to now consider becoming a shareholder of the Western Force Owners Ltd.
In the meantime, we will work with our partners, staff and Government to develop the best possible business case to take to the ARU.

I can see a bunny recall here .. Were is Andrew denton??? I was right behind him and the bunnies back in the 90s when they got dropped and fought to be reinstated in the courts.. This really red faced the ARL as it was then.. They had to negotiate with the NRL to put them back in.. and they were awarded millions in compensation by the courts..
Your Board are angry and we will fight to protect our players, refs, community and fans. You have asked us to do that.

Shit just got real, time to buy a couple of shares......
The one who's going to benefit the most in this would probably be Cox, wouldn't it be a strategy to join forces with him and give him an offer that the Force can join him, combining resources to make stand that saves both teams! Surely the ARU board won't be left standing after this week. Kudos Geoff Stoke for speaking up for what's right!
The government has some meat in this game - $1.5mil for current sponsorship yet to be paid.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. 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
