RA has leaked to GR what happened? And GR hasn't published it? Or has she? and I missed that too.
If we are going to get technical an organisation like RA doesn't leak information to a journalist. Its a Press Release or an interview or Background.
Assuming GR is a Journalist.

But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!

there is a weird amount protection going on here.
I dont think anyone could defend the way Cron went about airing his grievance. it was always going to end this way.
I dont think anyone could expect Cron to not quetion it
I dont think anyone could expect that RA would not respond to the criticism
I think everyone expects to know how and why it was missed.
we are all correct.
we are all just waiting for RA to tell us what happened, and to discover the fine that Cron gets. really quite simple.
what has likely happened is that someone in the press office having a conversation with GR has said - "Gee, the bosses arent happy with what Cronny said in that interview"
GR has a little heart palpitation that becomes Headline - "Cron to be fined by RA for criticizing Refs"
To be perfectly honest - I would like to put money on RA are just waiting for this to die down and go away so they don't have to talk/respond to it.
They are on a can't-win basis. No matter what they say.

Yeah, I think ra were quietly hoping that they could pretend they didn't hear anythingThen their major broadcaster mentioned something was saidWait a couple of days, get some functionary who's assigned the task of getting stories out that don't get attributed to the organisationMake the rest of the world think something's going to happen.Give it a day or two and call Cron, acknowledging he had a point, but the way he did it was badIssue an official release saying that you have met with Simon Cron and discussed his breach of protocol, the sanction will not be publishedTry to wipe the remaining egg off your face

RA are keeping stum knowing that the rest of Australian rugby don’t give a sh1t about the Force and we aren’t a rugby heartland and we will forget it eventually! Apart from young Stracnn who may end up with life changing injuries and they will be sued for but not on their watch!
May the FORCE be with you!
SANZAAR or whoever administers Super Rugby Pacific must really be upset with Cron waiting a whole week to issue a "please explain".
