I personally find most posters with an eastern states outlook fall in one of two camps.
Camp 1 - It was a blight on the game that the Force were cut, but generally accepting that the methods were legal and therefore no harm no foul
Camp 2 - The bloodbath that assassinated the Force was completely outside the bounds of decency and fair play, but the Force had to go for the good of Aussie rugby, so we just need to move on and heal the rift.
I have seen very few hold the prevailing opinion that is so entrenched over here in Auschwitz. that the axing of the Force was both unmerited and horribly conducted. That is the source of my angst.
I do look forward, as Steve does, to the virtual middle finger coming to fruition, however I still harbour resentment, mistrust and anger over the method and the result. Until there is some move by Rugby Australia to redress some of that, I will continue to be anti-RA.
Don't read the forced acceptance of GRR as a move to redress the balance, RA stalled and obfuscated that process as hard as they could until World Rugby finally took them into a back room and virtually beat them with sticks.
