Hahaha, oh my, Pulver looking like a moron to not only us but his own board, could this get any better? He has already resigned anyway so prob couldnt give two shits now, he is probably more interested in making sure he geta his $2million dollar golden handshake (ala O'Neil)... i am so happy WA called his bluff, it was a case of being just a little bit too greedy, something we all knew they would be guilty of being the morally bankrupt corrupt assholes they truely are. The ARU positions must be the only jobs in the world where incompetence is truely rewarded!

Sorry about the full in-box SinBin. Got very behind on my housekeeping! Have caught up now!
I feel your pain re automated "customer service" - it's not too bad at State level but at Commonwealth level it's dreadful! As Shasta says, snail mail is the way to go with this, but we'll need to be prepared to wait a while for a response!

I agree, I think they are honestly pissed off about the whole deal. Obviously they are not invested as us with the level of anger, but it is pretty obvious how this whole saga has affected the whole Oz rugby community.
Hopefully it will soon be time for the ARU Board to pay the ferryman!
In no way am I supporting Pulver, Clyne or the ERU but there are some good reason to support centralisation to some extent. If you look at the New Zealand model they have a much more centralised system, both in terms of marketing, administration, high performance and player development. Because of the power base of QLD and NSW over the current structure there is a lot of duplication of effort between the states and the national body. It's all about power, not about what is best for the development of the game. If the governance was truly national then you could go about centralising many aspects, effectively creating a single national "platform" for the local teams to build on. A good platform engages the local identity, passion and stakeholders. It would undoubtedly require some sort of national draft. However while there is vested interest running the show this isn't going to happen.
