    This Article was from 1 July 2008; they made the offer in honkers early November. Possible time lost don't you think...

    However they were also happy to publicly state they had found a new third party sponsor but its seems they couldn't find the deal...

    You can read in this thread people thought it was the answer.

    guys , when we are unhappy with a point someone makes, lets argue the point not the person.

    Lets play the ball, not the man.

    we are on here to talk rugby.

    I am more than happy to discuss this jedi knight but i would like you to site when i have discredited any person on this site.

    disagreeing with someone is not discrediting a person, like i said lets play the ball and not the man.

    What if the man is bound to another man holding the ball. You can bring that down under the ELVs.

    Looks like gits did reject it...

    "Giteau has already rejected a new third-party offer to remain at the Force. A Perth businessman promised to make up a large amount of the lost sponsorship money for 2008 and next year, but only on the provision that Giteau re-signed for 2011 and 2012. Giteau is clearly not interested in remaining in Perth in the long term."

    If you want to talk rugby go and read James reviews on the 2009 Super 14 teams and add your thoughts...He's done a fine job... only a month off now and we will see some pre-season matches.

    Additional for those that have Fox sports the World rugby 7s is on tonight 19:30 EST.

    joondalup_dave...Some (but not all) get a little edgy here about some sensitive topics...some add to the conversation with opinion and gathered facts which make for an interesting thread, others just stand behind their club colours and harass the individual... it territorial but a good fan site…

    .
    That's Mr. Jedi Knight to you. lets face it in a round about way - we should always try and be polite.

    Dave as always we look forward to discussing current events here at TWF. Events that originally happened and were discussed some time ago in the past are been and gone - feel free to build a bridge and get over it. We already have.

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!
