at last someone being held to account.
Hope this is a sign of things to come.

It’s gotta be Walsh you’d think.
BH it doesn't have to be one extreme or the other, you've jumped to the conclusion that my comments are suggesting the RA shouldn't have any managers at all. No, thats not the case, however I still think RA is a bloated beast full of people with little effective output and people filling roles with duplication of efforts.
ARU have given just cause for people to question their ability and effectiveness, and for a long time people have questioned and will continue to question the bloated corporate and administration costs of Rugby Australia.
In 2016 the ARU spent $15million on 'corporate expenses' and a further $4million on 'commissioning' expenses, this is against revenue of $128million. Conversely, NZRU who posted annual revenue of $161million spent $10million on Administration.
You might have a point, but it is facile to draw major conclusions from simple data sets like these without a forensic audit.
NRL, with annual revenue almost 300% greater then the ARU, spent a similar amount of Operations and Administration as the ARU in 2017. $19million for RA vs $21million for the NRL.
Foie gras and Shiraz cost more than McNuggets and a thick shake.
But, who looks after the big sponsors in league? Basically it is the clubs. Who looks after them in our game?
I can barely be bothered responding, mainly because it is incredibly easy to make easy points, without necessarily doing any real analysis.

Fair dinkum, could we use our brains, not our prejudices? This should be a forum for serious thinkers about the game.
It was just a joke.

Yeah. hate to be a pedant but the NRL as an organisation have annual sponsorship income of $57million, the ARU with all their big sponsors have $26million.
I am simply making the point that it is incredibly easy to make sweeping statements, to know the truth about issues like this takes a bit of expertise and full access to all the numbers.
I will say it again, it is facile to make cheap points based on a superficial set of information. It is facile, and it is boring.
