Jeff Bezos himself couldn't save the clusterfuck that is Rugby Australia and its board.
Heard this on radio on way home:
Ancient axiom popped into scone - Confucious? Sun Tzu?? AFL coach???:Quote:
"The board and I are absolutely committed to do the hard yards and make the tough decisions that it's going to take to get through this"
Having the full support of the board equals knife in back
Two houra later...
Rugby is fucked. I'm done until RA is replaced with a REPRESENTATIVE national body, and the Qld-NSW axis binned
Not convinced. That listening tour achieved nothing. She also did nothing for WA. Im not judging her on what happened before her time, im judging her on the screwups and wasted money getting Johnson on board, her mishandling of the Folau case and them settling for such a ridiculous sum, her bungled TV rights deal that never eventuated, and worst of all her INABILITY to do anything for WA despite wasting our time with her "listening" tour, it was at a time when we urgently needed some support from RA and she did nothing.
I do wondwr whether we still get less money than SA? If she couldnt even correct that then she is even worse. Im not prepared to forgive and forget, not enough water has passed under the bridge and too much inaction from the top for my liking for me to ever trust them again. If she did something for us it wouldnt have been as bad, but the fact she did absolutely nothing is unforgivable!
According to the SMH another Mosman denizen is maneuvering to become CEO. Kearns says he'd be great for the job although..."I don't know him incredibly well. He was the assistant coach of the team my son played in and I observed that he was committed, there at just about every training session,"

Shasta, you're kidding, right?
LoL
Will she take a huge payout, will she seek her $114K bonus??
Let's see how she really cares about rugby in Australia.
Funny how the board lost faith in her after Clyne had gone! She was just his mouthpiece. If th board wasn’t so eastcoastcentric they should have had both out ages ago. Now really is the time to clear out some other dead wood and start again!
From the outside Castle was stitched up. One thing that stands out like balls on a bulldog is George Gregan. I would count my fingers if I had to shake that persons hand. He appears to be the smiling assassin throughout this saga. Could be wrong but don't think so.
She had to go. You look at the annual reports the sole executive director who signs off on them is the CEO. Castle hasn’t done that and they are due on the 30th. They are barely a solvent entity with no income to trade their way out of.
