Been a very busy week for the folk at HQ.
Following is now official:
Scott Staniforth has resigned as Player's Representative on the board. He has been absolutely fantastic these past few years, especially last year.
David Vaux - Our appointed board member, ex UWA and living in Sydney has also resigned. He will be missed, he took our battle right into ARU's HQ. Super hard worker in enemy territory - amazing guy.
Tony Howarth - Chairman - Saw us through VA and worked incredibly hard behind the scenes after taking over from Dr. Russel Perry.
So, we asked Alison to join us and continue to be the voice of the Sea of Blue on the board. Craig Smith-Gander also comes on board with his huge experience in Sports Admin and director of the Future Force Foundation.
Scottie's position as player's rep. is a bit redundant now that we have no Professional Team, but we need to think how fill this spot.
well done Alison
The truth may set you free, but only evidence convicts
Congratulations Alison! Thanks for all that hard work you put in. Many of us appreciate what you did!
May the FORCE be with you!
Im curious,
Whats Alisons role on the RugbyWA board?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. 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! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Alison's role will be to appraise the board on fan engagement, keep fan expectations on the agenda and represent a major stakeholder. Alison's forensic examination of the ARU's accounts over the past number of years also provides the board with two aspects - 1 to make sure we keep our house in order and 2 we have someone who can question RA's annual reports. Even though we have had our team wrenched unfairly from us, we are still a member of the Australian Union and have a single voice to express.
IP is with RugbyWA. Loaned/leased/lent/licensed to Minderoo.
With out being to personal or up setting peoples feelings it is all starting to make sense
I have no doubt what so ever why when and where the dots have all connected
God help us and Rugby in Aussie after switching of after half time what a rubbish product another long season for RA
I would struggle to watch another game like that
There is no way the AFL would show that rubbish in prime time
