Makes sense. The good players already played Wales twice. The rest of the squad is starting for the Reds on Friday.

The unheralded ex-Wallaby who could soon become most powerful man in global rugby
Former Brumbies captain Brett Robinson is considering a run for the chairmanship of World Rugby later this year after colleagues urged him to stand.

Less than 12 months after aligning with Rugby Australia, NSW Waratahs chief executive Paul Doorn has been made redundant. The Roar can reveal the administrator will finish up in the next couple of months, with Doorn set to stay in the role to help new director of performance Simon Raiwalui and head coach Dan McKellar finalise their roster. What’s more, The Roar can reveal respected strength and conditioning coach Nick Lumley departed earlier this month. It’s believed Lumley had only recently signed an extension, but the experienced S&C coach was told he wasn’t required by McKellar, who is busy trying to finalise his coaching team after being appointed earlier this month. -

Is that accurate, strictly speaking? I always throught it was the role that gets made redundant, not the person.
Are they saying he was booted or that the role of CEO is no longer required?

In any case - real shame. I crossed paths with Paul a few times during my time on the Suburban Board, and he's a really nice bloke and "got" community rugby.
Even if NSWRU is basically a toothless tiger that can't even tell its own schools and comps what to do.

i was going to make a pedant joke...but youre right, they cant make someone redundant and then hire someone else into the same role....for a length of time at least, new reporting structure goes straight to RA? save some money by removing a whole level of admin?

So easy to change to Chris or something. Maybe he thought it was memorable, or his Mum kept telling him it was special.
Or that she really wanted a girl.

Looks like it was accurate - position of CEO gone. Waratahs seem to be headed toward a model where they are literally just a High Performance Unit under RA.
This makes sense in terms of Waratahs being a separate entity to NSW Rugby.

Has there been anything else said about Bell's injuries? A few months ago there were articles about him switching to the loose forwards?
No real update that I'm aware of. Small bone injuries fucking suck so his foot problem will need time and luck
STATEMENT: Paul Doorn
