I suspect the Rebels, Brumbies, Reds, Warratahs would have been told by the ARU not to say anything.
By the ARU saying there was a "financial" reason to remove the Force's licence I thought the ARU were referring to their crazy old argument that they would get sued by heaps if they removed the Rebels, but sued by less if they removed the Force's licence. Not sure it has anything to do with the actual financial performance of the Force, just a spin on words for the media by the ARU to try to imply the Force isn't performing financially.
