Bill Pulver appearing in Perth!

[terrycobner]

Bill squirming a bit now. Linda Reynolds doing a pretty good job.
Dean smith not bad either.
"Scorecard "coming up
Maybenot a good idea. Not sute Bill will be freling good after this

I hope Wessells goes to Europe and takes a dozen Force players with him including Coleman & DHP. Fuck Melbourne!

If Wessells and our good players went to the Rebels and they had a good season next year the ARU would be patting themselves on the back saying it was the right decision to rape and murder the Force. I hope the Rebels never win another game and everyone associated with them fall flat on their face, I don't care who they are.

Vindictive? Bitter? you bet! I still can't believe what the ARU have done to us!

[Macattack]

Listened to it all until they went to the confidential session
Linda Reynolds very persistent, well done Linda, thanks so much for your commitment to this 👍👍👍👍👍
I hope you can get to the bottom of this and so many more questions to come based on this morning's session, particularly the "weighting" given to different elements of the ERU's "scorecard" aka " great big spreadsheet" and exactly how much of the infamous $28M actually went to the Rebels/Cox - Pulver admitted this morning that "the majority" of it went to them, but we still don't know (yet) exactly how much it was AND what weighting that was given in the scorecard! Bugged all one suspects.

PS emailing Linda Reynolds office this morning to thank her for her persistence

One of the senators mentioned that $8m went to the Force and $20m went to the Rebels and Pulver didn't refute this point.

[sittingbison]

Except the Force had to sell their IP and license. Not only that the monies are conflated...I suspect they have included all operating costs of the Western Force, including player and employee wages as they are now "owned" by the ARU. Thus $8m instead of $3.7m for the two purchases. However they are also the recipient of Western Force income (remember, they own the Force).

Slimy fucking bankers, lying tosspots

BTW he is the CEO FFS, all the exact figures should be at his fingertips, not generalities and vaguries. Wanker

<senator.reynolds@aph.gov.au>, in case you want to do likewise
I also rang her WA office to pass on my thanks for her support of the WA rugby public, they were pleased to get the call 9477 5411

Will do likewise.

P.S. I wonder if Senator Reynolds is supposed to keep referring the Force/Rugby WA as "we". In any event, I like it.

[SteveWA]

I think she means "We" as in "The state of WA", of which she is a representative.

They are on to Clunk's conflicts of interest!!

[sittingbison]

Clunk was never conflicted, he knew exatly what his actions were and for whom

[Kalahard]

I didn't bother to listen to the ARUs submissions as i knew they would be full of lies, misleading information and would be obfuscated behind commercial "confidence" bs. Was that about the gist of Pulvers appearance?

[blueandblack]

sounded like it. I only heard part of the prepared statement

Well Pulver tried, but Linda & co managed quite well at making him squirm. Seems like he was VERY uncomfortable, especially on the issue of the meeting with Twiggy- tried to claim he wasn't there & then Linda hammered him with "but you were the CEO?" Especially liked the grilling over the matter of why the Rebels weren't targeted. Just hope he won't be able to connive his way out of the info on 'confidential' deals! Especially after they obviously didn't have a problem sharing the confidential info of Alliance Agreement with the VRU! Would love Linda to ask him THAT question.

Spot on. The scary part was realising that Puller thinks they did everything right....
