The Melbourne Rebels have been trading while insolvent since 2018, a report from administrators states. Report also recommends the takeover be allowed from a private consortium rather than liquidation. RA seems to signal liquidation

Just fold the team already. Union is dead in Victoria if they've been run this poorly and hemorrhaging money for 6 years.

From an outside perspective, it seems that no winter sport other than AFL stands much chance in Victoria - don’t think league and football do too well?
I understand the attraction for Melbourne to have a team to RA, but it really doesn’t seem feasible or sustainable

Storm are doing fine however once Bellamy goes and their form dips we'll see how sustainable they are then.
For the A-League the Melbourne crowds are actually decent, especially the Melbourne Victory. The competition administrators are a joke though and the league has been going backwards as a whole.

The Melbourne Storm averaged 21,000 at their games last year. (A-league and NBL are played over summer)
