@NTA said in Aussie Rugby:
McKellar rules himself out.
If he’s genuinely not interested why wouldn’t he take the opportunity to say
I’d love to coach the Wallabies one day, but that will never happen with the current board in place
I have no confidence in their ability to do their jobs and support me in doing mine
-
@MiketheSnow that is, perhaps, somewhat burning a bridge.
Edit: these situations lean toward POW rules i.e. answer the question you're asked.

How so?
Hopefully that will get the ball rolling to get them ousted and binned
And if not, he didn’t want the job anyway
Win, win

Tension between the Sydney Roosters and Rugby Australia is set to explode with the NRL powerhouse club to meet with Wallabies rising star Mark Nawaqanitawase next week in a potential move that will send shockwaves through the 15-man game.
Bombshell rugby raid: Roosters to meet with rising Wallabies star
Roosters on the verge of snatching one of Wallabies’ best players in move that would be revenge for the loss of Joseph Suaalii.

It’s Mark isn’t it?
Even Johns can’t fuck that up

No, it’s “Marky-Mark” - hyphenated names are always tricky

Have any of the others signed on too? Or is this just more proof that AR is an arm of Sydney anyway
-
@Machpants ive only seen NSW, at very least it shows a lack of cohesion as surely if any of the other were even close to signing they would wait too announce
-
@Machpants I can't imagine QR going all in given they're in a different financial state and have a world class facility of their own. Unless I'm in an alternate universe, they won't be handing all that over to a bunch of Shore Boys south of the Tweed.
Different predicament for the Brumbies, who have no assets, but a ungodly chip on their shoulder.

TBF they're (literally) just up the road from each other. NSW Rugby and the Waratahs have been separate entities largely, and this move allows NSWRU to focus on "community" Rugby. They have the biggest community footprint so it makes sense.
The Rebels will join because they are in the same boat as far as debt and organisation goes
Queensland Rugby will agree to the high performance but, but not the commercials. Similarly the Ponies.
WA is rumoured to be in favour, but they have Twiggybucks so might want to play funny buggers

It's more of a redwood than a chip.
