| I am fully supportive of a Super 15 franchise being based in Melbourne. I live in Brisbane now, but Sydney born and raised, and lived in Melbourne for six (wonderful) years. I have no dislike for ANY of the aussie franchises, and will get behind all of them when playing kiwi or saffa franchises. When it comes to local derbies....my loyalties are the tahs, but i will certainy adopt the melbourne franchise as my second team. I guess I just love rugby, and the truly international sport it is, without the fanaticism of soccer, but still the passion. And if it comes to fruition, then Melbourne may truly claim the mantle of the 'sporting capital' of Australia. Maybe, just maybe, the local press will recognise the fact that other codes of football exist, as that is what I believe has been the stumbling block in the past. |

| SANZAR in October, I believe Mr. Cheeky!! LOL. Actually, I will soon be leaving this polluted, steaming, overrated pithole of a country back to OZ and my employers are based in Melbourne. Double Woohoo and yippee from me, Ado. You may be a co#kroach based in Melbourne, I will be a canetoad with a Melbourne home. Thank rugby heaven that our sport is international!! (unless you live in this smoggy, smelly, exaggerated piece of terra firma - but the chicks are hot!!!!). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Who actually makes the final decision on the 15th team? The ARU or SANZAR? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good luck Ado, am still 100% sure "The Naki" will pip you at the post............NOT! It really is a laugh that there are other bids from SA and NZ to have a team based in the Australian union. Well I can see Barnes heading to Melbourne with a big fat paycheque like Gits did in the Force. What is going to happen to the Tahs biggest supporter Ado, are you going to just brush them aside like has beens? What are they going to call the team? Storm been taken but "Poachers" is still available. Just kidding, there is no way they will steel any players from the other franchises.......tongue in cheek.... Good luck to you it will add another dimension to Super Rugby. |

| Well, we're going to have a new team down here. Woohoo! The ARU wants the three Melbourne bids to jump into bed together and form one consolidated bid. The problem here is the bid with the money has a board of Vic Rugby board renegades and the one with the grass roots support is the Victorian Rugby Union. Then there is a third bid from the Melbourne Victory (soccer) -where they fit in, I'm not sure. Hope the ARU know what they're doing, because I can't see the different biddes all hopping merrily into bed to form one new entity. |
