It's actually quite simple; people are held accountable for their decisions.

The party line, as faithfully espoused by your good self is exactly the opposite. Keep everything, keep them all, they're doing their best and they have no control over events. Things will just improve because they just should and those at the top deem it so.

Of course it's not Penney's fault, it's not Gibson's fault, it's not the fault of the NSW/Waratahs player development system, it's not the fault of those on the NSWRU who appointed Gibson and Penney, it's not the fault of the NSWRU who have appointed those who have overseen player and coach...

A metaphor for the whole NSWRU and Waratahs operation stunned and lost and people (board and clubs) not talking to each other. But of course many around here will say (not necessarily you I might add), that it's not Penney's fault, it's not Gibson's fault, it's not the fault of the...

we'll agree to disagree. 6 years is a long long time ago. Rugby can't even sell out that stadium for an AB test these days.

It's a poisoned relationship which would take pages to try to explain in enough detail to give the topic justice. NSWRU have done just about everything but try co-operation and some form of partnership with the clubs. As dru points out above, this doesn't mean that everything the clubs say or...

The problem is the result of years of decisions at board level and won't be fixed overnight. @ 3,000 to a home game in a city of almost 5,000,000 people. There's plenty of rugby fans in the west, they just choose not to support the Waratahs. Rugby is selling a product (Super Rugby) which...

There's a massive divide between the NSWRU and the Sydney clubs. Regardless of who anyone thinks is at fault, unless this is resolved many fans affiliated with Sydney clubs will remain disengaged with any team associated with NSWRU. Many people around here might not like it, and certainly...

Penney went that way, I just work here.

Clearly this has been what's gone wrong over the past 20 years. Now we have the correct shade of yellow/gold all will be well.

I couldn't care less what shade of yellow/gold it is. I'd much rather have a winning team.

RA tackling the big issues.:rolleyes:

It's never been anything other than great.:)

One could argue that COVID has saved what's left of Australian rugby. I think that this thread would be chock full of departures if not for travel restrictions and the conditions in Europe.

I've watched one full game of super rugby and a few part games in 3 years. I think that conveys what I think of it.

How could anyone criticise the standard of Super Rugby AU?

I'm sure he will.:)

Jack Walsh is a Marlins junior and is a fantastic kid and a very good player. He'll learn much more in England than in Super Rugby here.

I think that the whole site will soon be going the way of the Scholarships thread.
