The game's almost up for Firepower

THE controversial fuel technology company Firepower appears on the verge of collapse, with its offices abandoned in Perth and other parts of the world, and the company owing millions of dollars to rugby union players, the Western Force club, basketballers and other creditors.

Several Western Force rugby union players, including their highest-paid player, Matt Giteau, are reconsidering their contracts with the Perth-based Super-14 franchise after not being paid by Firepower this year.

ryle & magnay????

[waratahjesus]

apology accepted! told you so! and al the other things i should be saying right now!
but instead i will just go with, you can have kurtley and we will have gits! that should even things out!

[Darren]

It's all sorted out already, Gits is getting paid and staying in Perth (and who can blame him for that!)...

We're based in the richest state in the country - we got money to burn

[waratahjesus]

gits is 1000 to 1 to stay in perth, he will be somewhere else for the 2010 season! you know the brumbies and nsw will put in big bucks from real companys for him!

i just dont see him making the money he currently has in perth if he stays there!

Is this blind optimism Coach of the "She'll be right" variety or do you know something?

[chook]

Ryle & Magnay got nothing. They went through Pie Growdens waste paper basket and stitched together a story even Pie wouldn't touch (and there is not much he wouldn't touch). They scraped off the crumbs and sauce and came up with this merde. Fug me, even the quokkas got a mention!!

God even chook's with us on this... what does THAT tell you??

As for the rest- where's the news?? We've been talking about a new sleeve sponsor for weeks now. If anything that article should have been about the Kings (due to this week's deadline to pay Jason Smith, and other upcoming ones) but where's the fun in that when you can do a good "OMG- Giteau's gonna leave the Force/ It's the end of the Western Force ROFL LMAO etc etc"????

[chook]

I'm really not anti-Force, you know.

[Seldom]

Speaking to his agent yesterday and he said Gits will stay at the force until end of 2010 like the rest of the resignees.

Thanks for injecting some sanity back into the story Seldom

SMH are just trying to take away the focus on the Tahs. Need a new backpage if the Tahs lose to the Saders this weekend. Makes them feel better.

On other news, Matt Dunning has overdosed on doughnuts.
Kurtley stops trying to be a kicker and sticks to just playing.
Sam 2 dads has a nose reconstruction.
Tahu tries out for the goal kicking role.
Tahu tears his Hammies while kicking his first goal kick.
Tom Carter finds out he is Dan Carter's long lost brother.
Phil Waugh misses out on Super 14 Player of the Year, but wins Super 14 Worse Hair of the Year and a nominee for Super 14 Worst Looking Player of the year.

Don't forget the story on Horne scoring a try in the final and officially being declared the greatest Australian player ever.
