    @KiwiMurph said in Aussie Pro Rugby:

    NSW Waratahs chief executive Paul Doorn has been made redundant.

    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?

    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?

    A question I often ask reading articles by Christy Doran

    Doesn't know how rugby works.
    Doesn't know how employment works.

    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.

    STATEMENT: Paul Doorn

    Tahs pack could look like this:

    1. Bell
    2. Porecki
    3. Tupou
    4. Grant
    5. Amatasero
    6. Leota
    7. Gamble
    8. Gleeson

    With some handy reserves in the front row at least - should they stay healthy.
    16. Heaven
    17. Lambert
    18. Ross

    @NTA

    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

    Interesting to see Jorgenson back in there. Huge potential but thought he was absolutely pants for the Waratahs this year, always trying to do too much.

    Probably looked that way in relation to his team mates, who often didn't seem to be trying at all...

    I think the contract issue might have been a factor for young Jorgensen too

    Trying too hard to justify his new deal etc.

    Looks like this squad is just for the 2 Bok tests

    Trialing some new players - makes sense

    Exciting.
