Actually under a Legal system not all is fair, and press leaks of confidential papers have been deemed a criminal matter in many jurisdictions with some very notable matters currently before the courts.

Sideline might not be happy abut it, but it is too just a fact of life and in fact a key goal of advertising is to sway the market toward a product or outcome, mostly benign, it can have very serious outcomes at times. Where I have issues is where market forces are perverted by vast sums of...

I doubt it would be an "official leak", in the minutes of the last meeting or in the Chair's diary. Many things have been leaked by officials to many journalists for many years. Will be in the future, perhaps depending on the outcomes of last week's AFP investigations and some significant law...

It appears that the letter itself was confidential if we are going by media reports. This from the Age. If Folau's people are themselves "leaking" confidential information, that is a big breach by him/them. I suggest we get the AFP on to it, they need practice in raiding media outlets anyway...

Isn't it frightening, a team with a backline of Wallabies in Phipps, Foley, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Beale had such abysmal skills, passes behind players, static players, Beale crabbing across field doesn't need mentioning it is the norm. For 10+ years we have been bemoaning the same failings. with some highlights...

Like last year being the turd at the top of the shit pile doesn't mean you are that good. They are certainly, by a long way the best in Australia. They would be IMO the only one to progress out of the second division that is Australian Rugby. The rest are no where near 1st grade.

Ok the former employee Rod Kafer. Serious difference I suppose, does it really changes the core aspects of the post. Again we have a nit picking of unimportant sidelines. The reports I have been able to find from several authors all speak of confidential letter to the RA board, yet this is in...

Has Kafer resigned his RA position as a Director of Elite Coaching Development or whatever he was appointed to in 2017?

Interesting to hear the Fox Commentators speak about Folau emailing the RA board and Chair raising issues about breaches of confidentially. Very interesting because the fact that these emails themselves have obviously been leaked and RA employee Kafer had the readily prepared speech about the...

Like it or not the Judeo-Christian belief system is the basis for all of western society. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire it has been the basis of the rise (and fall with a Dark Age, then rise again) of the Western world. It has provided the environment for the scientific and social...

I don't think there is much chance of the Wallabies doing anything at the RWC, really. I'll agree with you though, we don't want any promising young talent associating in any way with Chieka or anything he has to say on Rugby. Let him give a motivational speech sometime in the future.

My contention from about 6 weeks ago that no Australian side should be anywhere near the finals has been proved IMO. Honestly if we had a promotion/relegation system all the Australian sides should be lining up and asking to drop down a grade so they could play at their level. Its not so much...

KOB I'd like the post #2295 - right up to the part of having him in the 31 man squad. No form, comes back at the 23rd hour to a sinking Australian ship. Just because Australian Rugby hasn't developed a player in the 10 position for a decade shouldn't make a decent 12 a chance at the position by...

What an amateurish display. 1) To'omua is a very average 10 when confronted with a decent defence. He is a good 12. 2) Defence is not optional. 3) The skills deficit in Australian Players including basic positional awareness could not have been highlighted more. 4) Defence is not optional. I...

Management has the responsibility to have robust systems in place to deal with business situations. The flaws in this system became very apparent during the Beale fiasco. No competent administration would have signed further contracts under the EBA that allowed that ridiculous system. No...

Forgetting the opinions of what Folau posted, whether it amounts to offensive material or not or anything else. The impact on the game has the potential to be defining in the history of the game in Australia. Anybody who thinks this is an open and shut case has never spent much time in a...

If this post was the first time that you had posted those exact same words I could perhaps accept your defence, it is however not the first time and not in response to Haidt. It was however a nice attempt to try and recover from being called out on your falsehoods. And the insults were not...

You made these assertions before with no basis of factual knowledge about what I have or have not faced. You have no idea at all about my life experience, my racial background or anything about me. Its is easy to try and derail a debate and avoid real facts by attacking individuals who will not...

Yes interesting that. Though such people have always had flexible ethics and integrity. This is actually a very good example of my objection to the Folau saga. I don't give a shit about what Folau posted. I actually don't care about what Derpus posted above beyond its ability to convey the...

Codes of conduct are everywhere though. I cannot recall anywhere a report of somebody being sacked for breach of one that doesn't involve a criminal offence or behaviour that would amount to such if that action was taken.
