So for all those passionate fans out there that are really saddened by the news of Moira Pacifica, we absolutely feel for you.
But any fan of any team, the way that you can help and make sure that your teams are strong going forward and get even stronger is by getting behind them, is by getting to their games, buying a membership, buying a jersey.
That's where the funding comes from.
And, you know...
That's where I think the narrative should be about, not about who is funding who and who hasn't funded who.
Well, we need fans to fund Super Rugby Pacific by getting out there and showing their support for the teams, whether they win or they lose.
I heard a good saying the other day that fans are there for the good times, but supporters are there for the good and the bad.
you know, that would be my call to action to the fans for the balance of the season is to get behind your teams.
You know, it's really sad, but the one thing you can do is go out and support your team.
Yeah, I think they're all really good points, Ross.
And, you know, any future ownership will, there'll be conversations about all of those things for sure.
So yeah, we have to address some of those issues and we have to find the right owners, you know, because you do need deep pockets.
But I think you also want to make sure that anything around Moana Pacifica continues on the great work that the current Moana Pacifica done are about engaging the community and being
being about such a bigger purpose than just showing up and playing Super Rugby Pacific on the field.
Yeah, there are some timeframes and I'm not going to go into those publicly, but just to rest assured, there are those timeframes, there are those processes in place.
And also in the background, you know, all of the contingency planning about should we not be able to find ownership for MP, then what happens?
All of that work is being done in the background and is well placed.
2027, whichever way we go, is going to be another great Super Rugby Pacific season.
And, you know, all the contingency work is well underway.
But we're not going to talk about that publicly because, as I said, our focus is on the individuals that are impacted by this news and supporting Moana Pacifica as they go through this journey to try to find new ownership.
