@mariner4life this bit isn't wrong though is it?
“In fact, the current Chair and the current CEO were directors who were a so called ‘Board Rugby Committee’ and they supported the action to dismiss the Wallaby coach and the appointment of his replacement.
Zero accountability, but it looks like they identified an opportunity to climb further up the greasy pole.

no, they aren't wrong, the whole shitshow should go.

@KiwiMurph You'd have to be dim-witted to not hang on for a Lions Tour.

Melbourne Rebels to share Tarneit with Western United as part of consortium rescue plan
A private equity-backed consortium led by business heavyweight Leigh Clifford is working on a deal to save the Rebels and move the club to Melbourne’s west.

will wait for it to trickle down to free media, heading out to the suburbs isn't going to save them surely...theyre just making it harder for the few fans they have to go to games
Rugby Vic has just built a new home up at La Trobe uni...not exactly close but at least there is a base of people to attract, the pitch is going to be up to scratch so stick some temp seating around and bobs your uncle

The Waratahs, self-inflicted pressure, and the crippling weight of expectation
With the winds of change blowing through Australian rugby, the current fortunes of the Waratahs are causing furrowed brows

When has that ever NOT been the case, outside the Cheika era?
It's funny because I was reading some old Annual Reports from our Union (Subbies) and the Chairman's reports were saying "hard times ahead" etc. back in 2007 and several times since.
About time we pulled our fucking heads out and stopped thinking we can get different results doing the same stupid shit

DC’s a good man. Done it tough and come good at every level after finding his feet. You’d have thought the Tahs would’ve planned on some mediocre seasons while DC adapted to the step up & they fixed their obvious organizational/talent ID & development issues.
So it makes sense they’d give him the chop before they could see a return on their investment in his development. Doesn’t help that he’s far from a political animal, probably doesn’t even own a tie, let alone one from the right old school.

Former Wallaby Kurtley Beale inks short-term deal with the Western Force
Former Wallaby Kurtley Beale is a Super Rugby player once again with the Western Force announcing that they’ve signed the 95-Test veteran until the end of the current season.

Based on last night, as much as they could benefit from a player of his talent and experience, the problem was in the forwards.

You give them waaaaay too much credit.
Some of the back office want the game to improve. Some of them are even working toward that.
However there are a bunch of people who just assume a lack of success is down to the right coach and the rest of it doesn't matter.
And, after Cheika won a decade ago with much the same shitty system, who can blame them for thinking that way? They're lazy, bloated minds, fat on imagined glory; they think that their school/club/etc is fine so why can't NSW just "be like that?"
