Is it though. Players are going to have to take less over there, but they will here too. RA isn’t going to be flush with cash to jump in and lure guys back. If anything I fear clubs over there will take more of our players. I guess a few might choose to come back to family if there is less of...

True - but the initial warning you replied to wasn’t directed at you. In any case, maybe we should all move on. I’m not sure Jones deserves the air time we are giving him.

I am by no way an expert, but I did think there was legal precedent for internet sites being held accountable for postings on the site. It is probably a fair enough reminder that we need to be careful what we post in terms of legal liability. Not everyone has Jones’ luxury of just letting...

I try not to wish ill on people - but gee Alan Jones makes it hard. He is just a nasty piece of work. I do find it sad that people like Jones have such a following that they are still seen as worth broadcasting.

I read an article yesterday where Stiles said he was dubious Cooper would be released to play. If he wants to play league, Stiles indicated he’d have to make a choice (interestingly Stiles comments seem to suggest that, if he did choose league, the fact he had an existing contract wouldn’t...

The gist of his comment is fair enough. We DO need to address the systemic issues in the game. My issue is that, personally I felt Castle was at least prepared to make an attempt at that. One of those issues was the fact rugby was only on Fox and the game has suffered badly through lack of...

You’re completely ignoring the state of the game before Castle took the reigns. As for your comment about being ‘woke’ if you aren’t aware of the impact that all of these social issues have on the decision making of corporate entities, even when the entity isn’t directly reliant on the handling...

Richard Barker is no longer the Reds CEO, That would be Dave Hanham. I believe I am correct that family matters caused Barker to stand down, but I don’t think his tenure was considered overly successful. I think Hanham was doing some good things - but definitely too early for him to be a...

I think it’s fair to say that Campo took the vast majority of the blame and some never, ever forgave him. If I were to hazard a guess I’d reckon there would be a significant portion who have knowledge of the incident and new Campo was involved, but couldn’t tell you who the other player was.

I’m happy that part of Australian rugby looks like it will come through this intact. Good for WA and the Force Fans. For what it’s worth, I didn’t find the article offensive.

I understand the sentiment - but the scorched earth that you are talking about is the rugby I want to watch. I would much prefer RC weathers the storm and we find our way through this mess with as much of the game intact as possible. I don’t necessarily mind if there is significant...

I guess it would be a chance for the English to win both titles.

I hope they’ve signed him for $150k a year (or less)

Bugger. That’s completely understandable, but bloody disappointing.

To be honest BH, I am concerned that is exactly what our next CEO will be. It won’t be a good thing

Personally I think some are struggling to seperate the performance of the code with the performance of Castle. The reality is the code as a professional organisation and a marketable product was a shit sandwich before she started her tenure and there have been a whole raft of issues either...

Okay - we aren’t even close in our thinking here so I’m just going to let it go.

How much do you think they should have paid, and are you confident they would have found strong candidates in that pay bracket? I haven’t looked at this in depth - but if I take your point that her salary is in line with other sports then they paid the going rate.

I’m not sure if I’m interrupting your post correctly, but nobody knows what ‘worst case’ looks like here - unless you just mean that worst case is everyone could end up bankrupt and everyone out of a job. There are a hell of a lot of people grappling with this in terms of business planning and...

That’s my thinking too BH and it directly impacts some selections. I don’t think Liam Gill could be included because he was only just starting out then. On the flip side Beau Robinson probably doesn’t make it on his form in any other year (although he was always pretty handy) but 2011 was a...
