Good to see Sinders telling Harris to pull his head in

Western Force chief executive Mark Sinderberry has described as "ludicrous and ill-conceived" suggestions by a former boss of the Super Rugby club that it should be relocated to Sydney's western suburbs.
Outgoing Waratahs chief executive Greg Harris, who resigned in 2009 after 12 months in charge at the Force, said the Australian Rugby Union was not strong enough financially to take on other sporting codes nationally.
"Has Perth got the capacity to host and underwrite a team?" Harris said
"They are competing in an environment in Australia and internationally with the odds stacked against them both from a player perspective with respect to the current contracting rules and a commercial perspective."
But Sinderberry fired back asking why the heavily ARU-funded Waratahs could not raise revenue on the back of their Super Rugby success.
"The real question that needs to be asked is how the Waratahs have really failed to capitalise on the success that they have had," Sinderberry said.
