why wouldnt the Force get an equal share?

Exactly. I'd always hoped AF would insist on it. But that, very obviously from press coverage at least, has not been the view over your way. I'll be surprised if we don't hear rumblings about wanting a level playing field when we start winning like I think we will.

This.

Really annoying how these journos keep pushing this BS ..........who were sensationally cut from Super Rugby in 2017 by the Australian Rugby Union due to financial pressures, ....Somehow they always fail to mention the millions handed over to the Rebels. Sharing the broadcast revenue with the Force must really stick in Clark’s craw - hopefully.

This.

..............and this

"Australian rugby needs the Waratahs to be strong, as much as those outside NSW hate to admit it."

And yet - Its Clark that is giving the Force a fair share of the Broadcast Dollars.

Take off the Blue shades. Join the real world and accept that Clark and the RA are trying to fix past mistakes, and are starting to do a good job of it.

A strong Waratahs puts 30,000+ bums on seats at each home game. Fills the stadium at Test Matches and puts up numbers on Ratings in "the biggest market in Australia"

That means dollars in the pocket of RA.

It all makes sense.

Giving? Clarke?....you've outdone yourself X.

He has to sign off on it.

How else does it work?

You have got to be f@cking joking! We've had to swallow that shit and they've had the inside run with contracting and such for decades and are still a joke with the Second worst supporters in the country. I'm amazed that anyone thinks more similar thinking will change anything.

Yep. With his arm severely twisted up his back, I've got No doubt.

I offered an explanation for the quote.

When the Tahs won had the Grand Final they almost filled ANZ Stadium.

And it was a RA wet dream.

Perhaps you should consider counseling. It will help.
