I don't think the Rebels financial viability have to be part of Wessels job decision. He is in Melbourne, maybe he just doesn't like tosspots?

Is there any chance where we could keep the "ARU screwed us, Rebels are a financial black hole, the sky is falling" seperate from the "Global Rapid Rugby, here comes the Western Force 2.0, Lets put on a happy face"
With respect to you all and I am not trying to single you (Bakkies) or anyone else out. But for the last couple of months Every thread except the Birthday notices (gday Spartan) seems to get turn around to a "ARU screwed us, Rebels are a financial black hole, the sky is falling" discussion.
For the love of all that is holy - could we try and post some positives about Rugby Union. We all, aparently, love the game.
And yes - if I dont like what is being written - I could scroll on. OR Some of us could not add the same old thing to the same old discussion.
anyway
Yes I still live in Sydney. Yes It would be different if I lived in Perth. Love you all- bring on the hate.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Back on topic....Pucovski?
Hehe
Anyhoo, waiting patiently for a GRR announcement. Anything will do

The Fiji Rugby Union is still negotiating with the Global Rapid Rugby on its partici*pation in the tournament.
This was confirmed on Tuesday to SUNsports by FRU chief execu*tive officer John O’Connor.
“We are in the final stages of the negotiation process in terms of our participation,” he said.
“We’ve not signed the M.O.U (Memorandum of Understand*ing) as yet. For us we’re looking at the interest of FRU and more importantly the welfare and avail*ability of our players.
“We have commenced preliminary preparation works for the tournament as the competition is expected to start end of March.

It is in the best interests to play.

Fiji will likely be the strongest team, based on last years NRC win with just ""on island players"". With Brexit and Kolpak coming to an end, there could be bunch of their UK based stars soon looking for one of those contracts back on Fiji.
Looks like start date for GRR has slipped back 2-3 weeks to late March. I dont have a problem with that. Too hot in Perth in early March for rugby.
Can understand they need to cross the t's and dot the i's, but what other options for comps do they really have? They were knocked back by RA & Super (who are only too eager to grab their players!), NZ doesn't help much which really only leaves the NRC? It's not like they haven't had time to think about it.
