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?
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

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...

@NTA said in Aussie Pro Rugby:
Tahs pack could look like this:
- Bell
- Porecki
- Tupou
- Grant
- Amatasero
- Leota
- Gamble
- Gleeson
With some handy reserves in the front row at least - should they stay healthy.
16. Heaven
17. Lambert
18. RossNo Jed Holloway?
Aussie teams will defs be stronger next year.
The Queensland Reds now have four Wallabie locks, a very good loose forwaard trio and plenty of international experience in the front row.

With Dan McKellar joining the club as Head Coach for the next three years, he will be ably supported by new assistant coaches Mike Catt OBE, Dan Palmer, and Lachlan McCaffrey. Catt OBE, who played 75 Tests for England in a distinguished playing career, will be the Assistant Coach for attack. After retiring from playing, the 2003 World Cup winner has enhanced the attack for London Irish, England, Italy, and Ireland. Palmer will be the Assistant Coach for set piece. Palmer has worked with McKellar previously at the ACT Brumbies and the Leicester Tigers, and has coached Australia A. Palmer has also donned the sky blue jersey as a player from 2008-10 and played for the Wallabies in 2012. McCaffrey, another former Waratah, will be the Assistant Coach for defence. McCaffrey was mentored by McKellar during his time with the Brumbies and has also experienced the different playing styles in the UK, Japan, and America. Since transitioning into coaching, McCaffrey has been the Assistant Coach for Otago and the Head Coach for the Gungahlin Eagles. -

That’s a shame. He’s good enough to be in a NZ SR squad. Still only 22
