[QUOTE="InsaneAsylum, post: 850087, member: 13203"] fair enough guys, firstly I do not want to see the Force go down either. I am a firm believer that 5 teams are required. Jabby, you will have worked out that Melbourne is quite multicultural by now, they rugby community is well represented by ex pat UK, as well as south africans and kiwis and a lot of aussies of islander decent. I am probably one of the rare few that didn't come from another state or country but we are all rugby fans first and foremost and yes, our local players can still aim for the rising, but they'll have to move house and move state if they are serious about going to the next level. that would seriously detract from the local comp. I would entertain a merger and rebrand as long as there were a few home games held in Melbourne. perhaps that way more people would show up as there are less games. I guess we will have to wait and see although the whole situation was handled poorly by the ARU. I'm not sure if you guys realise but fans over here are not happy, not only Rebels and Force fans, but Brumbies, Reds and Waratahs. We all believe that cutting a team wont make a difference and that the ARU board must resign and the ARU remodeled around the NZ structure instead of favouring NSW and QLD [/QUOTE]
