My theory is that the VRU mobilised Cox to exercise the put option because they were worried that our legal action might succeed, in which case RA would be looking to can the Rebels to meet their commitment to SANZAAR to cut a SR team. Just my cynical view of the whole saga.

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!

It’s entirely a matter for Minderoo really as they essentially own the team that uses the Western Force name. RugbyWA is a totally separate legal entity and really only looks after the amateur side of the game in WA nowadays.
My personal view is that with the advent of GRR, the WA team should change its name to remove the shackles of the past and embrace a brand new era for professional rugby in WA.

I feel the same way actually. Although most people would know that I've quite figuratively nailed my colours to the mast, I reckon that if this new league is going to have teams with proper geographical monikers, WHICH THEY REALLY SHOULD DO, AS IT WAS ONE OF THE MARKETING FAILINGS OF STUPOR RUGBY IN AUSTRALIA, then I reckon we should call ourselves Western Australia and wear the State colours and even a coat-of-arms, the way the Brumbies used to do. I know that some don't like yellow/gold necessarily, but a primarily black jersey with a fair amount of gold/metallic gold/yellow would look pretty awesome.
Soccer clubs like Borussia Dortmund, NAC Breda, Roda JC, VVV Venlo, Vitesse Arnhem, etal; always manage to create pretty cool looking kits in WA's State colours- so I'm sure we could come up with something just as cool.

It looks like ATT found out I was a naughty boy this year, Bakkies, otherwise I would have PM'd to get you an invite
Have sent these out previously, but it seems like some sort of upload history is now required. Sadly I don't have one.
Hopefully others here are in their good books and can help.
