[QUOTE="Maccaweeny, post: 192597"] I know this might sounds pretty radical, quite out there and bizarre. Yet, have you guys ever considered that the success of another Australian team might be a good thing? I mean it's hard for some people to look at the big picture, but the Reds and the Tahs have the biggest potential fan bases in Australia, which when compounded with a competitive sports market and a lack of funds in Australian rugby means that it's essential that they perform so as to increase ticket-sales and the popularity of the sport in Australia. Their success is fundamental for the well-being of the national side. Oh yes, don't get me wrong, a side made solely from Brumbies and Force players would be truly unbeatable! I think the AB's would veritably quiver at the thought of such a revolutionary idea. Yet the fact still remains that WA and ACT have relatively small potential fan-bases when compared to NSW and Queensland. All the while you guys moan that the Tahs are ****, should not be where they are, and voice your disapproval of their victories; take into account that, if your wishes are fulfilled, you'll be cutting your nose off to spite your face.
