read that Forrest now wants the Force to merge with the Brumbies, also that the Victorian government is now backing the Rebels, IMO the force will go.

Still hoping this happens because unlike Ed, I think Rona is a game breaker. Has pace and height and verstatility. Would be huge addition to our backline. If he does make a code switch, hopefully Teynolds could entice him to join us. But would not be at all surprised to seem him at Parra.

Are signings from other codes salary cap exempt?

This could end up a fight to see who has the biggest wallet, Victorian government backing Rebels Vs Tiggy Forest backing Force.

Vic Government splits the Rebels into two. Sells both halves off to private companies who are now payed to run each half of the side. One gets the forwards, the other the backs. Except in defense one is meant to guard the left flank, one the right… Rebels develop best right side defense in league but loose the comp with most tries scored against. Vic parliament commissions gigantic phallus symbols all around stadium to celebrate Football. These recognise every AFL player who ever played in Melbourne with 50% of them Female players. .... Team get sponsored by latest add campaign, first time Union players head on to field with "Dumb ways to die!" emblazoned on front.

I've read this type of comment a few times - how have the Tigers treated Mr Meriton badly? Genuine question - I'm keen to know

They haven't. It's just more drama about how bad the club is etc.

There is no drama. It's just stuff that people make up. I have no idea why they do it. I have no idea why Mr Meriton doesn't dish out the club $100million to buy the best players in the comp with under the table payments like the rorters.
@ said:
I truly never understand this. OK Steggles makes Chickens, they have good deals…
But we have a strong mascot, a strong name, a large following. I don't think Proton* was a sponsorship success but we could definately get a name out there
*my fr in law has a Proton, old as anything but still goes very well. Yes it is a Korean? cheap car but it appears to have held up (The Early Kia's were very bad and the Daewoo's are scrap metal with wheels..).

Well this is my opinion Steve - Harry is one of the biggest developers in Sydney - that is a given, he has more contacts than you can shake a stick at.
When the Tigers were making a deal to develop the Leagues Club at Rozelle - Harry was not even asked to develop the site, help with ideas or contacts etc.
I am sure it would not have ended in the shermozzle that it did with the Tigers (Balmain that is) going broke.
You may be an exception Steve - but I think as a professional in the business - Harry had his nose put right out of joint over this - I know I would have.
@ said:
People still cling to that hope of Harry the white knight sailing in to save us.
He is tight as a snare drum. If he isn't going to do it now he never will. He is nearly 100 years old lol.
His sponsorship was great support but it's a tax write off for Meriton.
Harry hasn't put a personal dollar in.
Please give up in the fantasy.
If I was worth even 1% of Harry, I'd be buying Balmain and propping up the club.
