Yeah that’s what I was most upset about too, not their involvement per se. I don’t know about the Fox thing, it’s gathering momentum that NFJ is the instigator, Mark Ella almost gives that away in his piece this morning. Kearns was always going to be approached by Nick, and ironically by...

It’s also being reported that Tony Dempsey is going to have another crack at the CEO gig. The current candidates prior to any global search would seem to be: Phil Kearns Peter Wiggs Tony Dempsey Dan Herbert

I’m a bit impartial now about the current situation and the involvement of the NFJ 10. Looking at the names, there are people there you don’t want anywhere near the management, but there are also names there who I think could add some valuable input. It should be pointed out that these blokes...

Yes, although the things he mentions are what we all want so no skin off my teeth. Obviously the time wasting elements of the game are out of RA’s control but happy for him to spend a couple of hundred million lobbying WR (World Rugby).

Also they are going to involve Twiggy. This is all in this morning’s Aus BTW, their ideas are being considered by RA and an interim CEO is set to be installed.

The Captains are proposing the Australian Rugby Review Board as below.

Ok fair call but from what i can dig up the bidding process had started but was pushed back a week, but no reason given. And I can’t find anything from either media company to suggest that Optus was going to offer anything other than a low ball bid, $30m is the highest speculative number I can...

This ain’t a personal dig at you, point is I don’t think any of us have any idea what numbers have been thrown around. But you can’t place a high regard on one media outlets reporting and completely disregard another’s. Unless your biased of course.

I’ll quote it again just to dispel any confusion. I haven’t read all the Fox articles, but presumably we can go off whatever figures they threw around as well?

I was actually referring to you basically saying ‘it was in the media so it must be true’.

Anyone else seeing the irony here?

Oh that’s right I forgot, she had a source that couldn’t have possibly been legit

Do we know that though? All I've read is that it was only a couple of weeks away from being finalised when CV hit. I certainly haven't seen any concrete figures.

I didn’t mention Folau. FWIW I’m referring to the article pointing out more fails than passes by RC, and that she doesn’t think that it was the letter from the 10 captains that brought her undone. I do agree with her that the News attacks on RC were vile, however it’s also enlightening to...

I’m waiting for someone to say that Georgina really works for newscorp

why?

Paul McLean allegedly saying he might bring forward his departure date of 31st July (which was self imposed anyway). No shock there.

That was meant to say ‘promised’, not ‘promoted see’. How auto correct fucked that up I have no idea. Now fixed.
