I'm not sure I'm allowed to answer, but seeing as you directed it at me I will. The entire thread, if you read the first post, is about JoN being absent. He isn't. I'm not expecting someone to know each movement or his whole schedule, but if your going to draw the bow that the problems with...

Roundawhile - again you illustrate the point I am making. I haven't actually defended JONs cost cutting, I've given examples of why it was needed. Fact is and the one I keep bringing up is, this thread is about JON "hiding" or being absent from work de to his involvment with Echo, you have...

None of those things are silly, most of them aren't points ive made but out of context quotes designed again to mock instead of actually proving a single instance or conflict with the two jobs he is currently doing. His schedule - please tell me when there has been a conflict, I have asked...

The stats would come down to coopers opinion anyway. It's one thing to win, but the main things is, during those wins was cooper allowed to play the rugby he wants to and afterwords did the dressing room feel like a win & a family.

Are 2 dead rubber wins gonna change opinion, this is the question?

When did I say he should be congratulated. The man is doing his job and he is being hung and quartered for it. If you want to talk about why you think his decisions he makes for the game are wrong that's one thing and it's a worthwhile topic and discussion. But a thread based on him being absent...

His at the IRB negotiating a better deal for the ARU, or as people call it "missing in action"

Oh, that's right, forgot that, thanks.

How does Quade have a 100% win record for the reds in 2012, wouldn't they be champs? Contrary to Quades claims, the wallaby attack has been placed around him, when he is out we have struggled due to not having his long pass.with a long term option placed there that will change.

Is it melodramatic? Isnt it what people are asking of him? With zero proof he has devoted one minute less than normal people have used terms like "missing at the wheel" "absent half the time" & "to busy to care" ? Laying the facts down, according to this thread. -JON has not broken his...

Yes, it does ignore other clubs, but I'm talking in terms of long term sustainability. Having built in audience at universities is one step, having some of those universities offer television production as courses can help in keeping broadcast costs down. Having the offer of scholarships can...

That's a letter, when did John open it, or did his secretary open it then put it on the pile for echo that John didn't touch til he completed his duties for the ARU? Still zero proof of any impact to his hours or duties at the ARU. Just people putting the boot in. I hope whoever replaces JON...

Not just Michael Hooper but Michael Hooper in a True Blue Jersey , the one he talks about as a kid idolising and dreaming of. Imagine how much better he is ginna play in a team he wants to be in.

Do you think basing sporting teams at universities may be an option? Like college teams in American football. I know it doesn't destroy the private schoolboy/upperclass theory rugby has, but maybe actually going after that base may make a third tear and rugby more sustainable in the long run.

Considering that the resignations happened this week gone and now during the fallout period JON is overseas watching rugby and having meetings with the IRB, I think fact would point to ECHO at this present point in time having to work around JoN commitments. I'm not sure what I'm stringing...

Do our university's have the desired locations to house a team each (built in supporters and merch sales) plus we can offer young players scholarships. Syd Uni for Sydney, UTS for north shore. UWS for the west in nsw, how do other states go?

Hugh - is he also happy to play for free?

Actually based on results this season, to close to call.

The game of rugby deserves a full time CEO, I am yet to see evidence that JoN is not working full time. I don't have a defense, as there is nothing to defend but baseless accusations. He has been in the job for four months. In that time I have not heard of one thing that hasn't done for the...

Maybe it's a new Zealand gen y problem? ;)
