    The fact that Poey re-signed with them last week leads me to believe that this is not what the Journo would like it to be.....
    I would have thought that a Federal Police investigation into a Super Rigby club is a story that shouldn't be buried.

    If the Feds were investigating the Force I would want to know.

    GET THE POPCORN!

    Ex-CEO Michael Jones to sue the brumbies for wrongful dismissal. Maybe he'll end up owning them by the end?

    There has been speculation the ARU could take the financial hit of the majority of Mr Jones' contract to help the Brumbies after the club reported a $1.68 million loss last year. Mr Jones was forecasting a $2.6 million turnaround by the end of 2016 to record a $1 million profit.

    Isn't it nice to play your rugby on the East Coast, where the ARU will happily foot a multi-million dollar bill without turning a hair?

    OK, It's just media speculation, obviously but the media are the ones bleating that $800K to the Force (which we actually got through selling our property to them) is a death knell and the team needs to move to Sydney!

    Michael Jones is in on the conspiracy to distract the Brumbies.

    So rumors over the last few weeks include: Force in financial difficulties and may move to West Sydney, Rebels in financial difficulty, Brumbies in financial difficulty and may fold, and lastly Reds in financial difficulty.

    I'd like to be the first to announce the new rumor that the Waratahs are in financial difficulty and may be moving to Western Sydney.

    Brumbies in financial difficulty and may fold has turned into Brumbies in financial difficulty and may be paid out by the ARU if you read the Australian.

    Also, as a respected journalist, I'd like to announce the following rumors that I have heard.

    Inside sources at the ARU have confirmed plans to move the Brumbies to Adelaide once the dust settles on this latest scandal. This is supposedly why Pocock wanted a sabbatical.

    The same sources have leaked that the Rebels are moving their base and all of their games to Geelong as they were given a great deal from the local Government for new premises at some old factories that aren't in use anymore.

    The Reds will be propped up by the ARU but they will be making them play all of their games at Ballymore due to the outrageous cost of playing at Suncorp stadium.

    Things getting interesting Michael Jones has just obtained an injunction and has been temporarily reinstated.

    If this was the Force they would have shut our doors already and written us off as a basket case.

    Not good to see the rugby world here in turmoil, there are going to be no winners.
