Jeez, my comments were more about a replacement with a lot of the conversation being about Kearns and so on, I was merely suggesting that if she was to be rolled, the CFO could take on the care taker role until such time as a suitable CEO could be found. I actually didnt mean to start a sh&t...

when the CEO needs to be rolled and there is no heir apparent often the job falls to the CFO who takes on the job in a care taker capacity. Since we are in dire straits right now, that might be the better course. Ms Castle has no vision or strategy other than wokeness and has driven our game...

Yet, she is quoted as saying: "Trailblazing business leader Ann Sherry has highlighted the lack of racial diversity on boards and said if chairmen don't get the gender balance right they will never meet more ambitious diversity targets regardless of their intentions." and " I do believe if you...

I thought it was that Ann Sherry wanted a female in the job and as chief selector, she got what she wanted

Geez, those 20,000 Qantas employees who have been stood down must be pleased that life goes on for some

Super is finished - with national borders closed it cannot be resurrected. RA is broker than broke. Club rugby will be able to continue to play as it runs on the smell of a burnt snag. Our national teams will be selected from the best of QLD, NSW, WA teams after a state based tournament. Hate to...

Surely Qantas will discontinue financial sponsorship of RA in the face of 20,000 jobs lost - it would be a bit rich to stand down so many people but still indulge in the sponsors box

Time to put in place a new financially sustainable model for the Super rugby franchises: Each franchise has a squad of 35 players. They are paid a base salary, say $80,000 each which is funded from RA. They can increase their salary by increasing club memberships, match attendances and sales of...

if the current broadcast rights have a clause that stipulates that a certain number of games must be played for the payment to RA to be made, then it seems that this years' payment may not be paid and RA will be unable to pay the Super Rugby franchises their player payment installments and .... well...

super rugby players now seeking career guidance - umm - learn a trade? What?

oh sh&t - that really does mess things up for the Soup Comp.

no. They're F&^ked

surely the government (and taxpayers) dont have to underwrite the event if a national health emergency has caused the cancellation.

anyone know what happened to the Unicef sponsorship? I cant see their name on the kit tonight. Are they still committed to sending players to the Pacific Islands to work with Unicef on their projects in the region. Anyone know of any projects they worked with last year?

No offence Jimmyjam, but the Tahs forward pack didn't perform so well in the past either, if Hooper really is looking around the dressing room at his new forward pack maybe he has some hope for success - although, the last two games would put that to bed I'd say

Don’t despair, this week , nsfw tahs v melb f rebels - one of thems got to windespite themselves

He could say that he has decided to 'spend more time with his family'

“We’ve had a disappointing start but we’ve learnt in the past that Super Rugby is not won in round one, so hopefully this is a turning point for the rest of our season,” said Wessels. What a sad, sad response to a first round loss to Sunwolves. Surely Wessels and the team have more than hope.
