What makes me worried is all oz super teams will do well next year and everyone will say how justified the ARU were in cutting us.
Unfortunately it is virtually impossible for all 4 aussie teams to lose all of their games against the Kiwi sides, this year was a freak year and wont happen again but cant see any of the aussie teams make the Grand Final at best it will be semi final.
Actually, on the bright side, I have about 10 fewer Christmas cards to write this year.
In hindsight, in the short term the Force were the right option to cut. The Rebels playing stock were shite with a few exceptions and the Brumbies were playing a game plan that won games but was more developed to make best use of their lack of playing talent. The Force however had a very good team that would have had damn good chance of making waves in 2018 and could only get better.
Now, cut that team which has almost an entire squad that can match or surpass the individual players of the other 4 Australian Super Rugby teams and spread them to the Rebels & Brumbies and you have a much more competitive team.
If the Rebels or Brumbies were cut however I think we wouldn't have picked up much from either team as in most cases our players would be there or near abouts skill wise.
Long term the quality that we have seen develop this year will no longer be developed to that level without the same level of competition.
Probably just as well I'm not able to go tomorrow as I might throw something at the toad. I wish him and his cabal all the very worst.

You never know, he might turn Queens evidence, even Twiggy said he was an honourable man!
How does Twiggy know?

An honerable man would not have done this and with the complete lack of compassion for fans, staff or players!! I'm afraid actions speak louder than words and his actions say it all!
Sounds like one of those "in public" polite things you say to keep someone onside (and to stop them suing you for defamation).
