DECLINING FORCE
Australian Rugby Union's pending takeover of the Western Force has already taken a toll on the ailing franchise's small finance team.
The Super Rugby outfit last week parted ways with chief financial officer Maryanne Wilson, whose position has been made redundant ahead of the planned financial centralisation of the Force at the ARU's head office in Sydney.
Wilson had run the books at the club and RugbyWA since the eve of the Force's inaugural season in 2006.
The job has been tough in recent years, with a lack of meaningful support from the ARU and a dismal playing record weighing heavily on the Force's viability.
