    THAT'S what it was? I thought it was the Wallabies loss to Samoa back in 2011 that did that.

They are negotiating with Venues West for rent relief and are investigating all the government grants and programs available for staff, and working with partners to meet expectations for 2020 and beyond.
    RA funding - which was a pittance anyway - is likely to cease but that shouldn’t be a problem.
    Junior clubs should be fine as most are integrated with a senior club that is a member of the WARU.
    Irrespective of the financial clusterfuck that is RA, WA rugby at both senior and junior level can only go from strength to strength.

    Long live the Republic of Westralia!!

    What figure do you suggest, Andrew? $1? Or does Australian law allow a lesser amount? (The UK least amount of currency allowed for a legal transaction was one peppercorn!)

    The value of the IP was reduced to $0 in the RA accounts for 2018.

    If it’s not already been handed back to WARU for free, it damn well should be!!

    Isn't Perth Glory the major tenant now? Does RWA pay rent to Glory, or VenuesWest?

    RWA is the main tenant and sub-leases space to Glory (and GRR I think). RWA has the head lease with VenuesWest.
