That's actually not entirely what happened either, but that's irrelevant. But, in any event, whatever was paid to Larkham was based on his contract signed prior.

That's from the article where I've removed the fluff. What am I missing?
Larkham as paid his contract that was drafted by Pulver and the counsel as they used the same contract as Cheika. So how the hell is this Castle's mess?

This isn’t. But evidently there is shit going down that is.
I didn't say it was Castle's mess. I said the "sacking" of Larkham was not as straightforward as that - there are other factors in the story as to Larkham "moving on" besides the oft-repeated accepted wisdom here. But that is irrelevant to the fact the contract was signed previously so it is NOT Castle's issue at all.

At least he would have to stop "commentating".

As someone who has been involved with Rugby at various levels from volunteer to now as one of the "stood down" staff at a franchise I cannot understand why Rugby has to tear itself apart.
Anyone working in Rugby does it for the love of Rugby certainly not the pay.
With Rupa being funded by Rugby Au why do they not just stand down in the same way as almost every other staff member.
Or come out and announce pay cuts.
Many players were prepared for this on Monday but now we have this stand off re needing to see the financials.
Perhaps the Rupa staff are worried their wages won't get paid by Rugby Au at all...
Perhaps Rugby Au should declare bankruptcy.
Tear up the Rupa agreement and then start afresh with some realistic player payments and conditions...and if the players don't like it they could go overseas....but good luck getting huge amounts there in future!

News Ltd is pushing the sack Castle and install Kearns angle for all it's worth to the point where it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
But done by Pulver and not Castle.

Yes, it is that repeating loop, increasing the frequency of the News Ltd / Fox propaganda, that will topple the RA hierarchy to give News Ltd / Fox exactly what it wants. Tail wagging the dog. I just hope those in control do not succumb to this BS peddled in the media that has its own agenda.

How many cancelled Foxtel/ Kayo/ News Ltd rag subscriptions/ ad placements would it take for the cnuts to back off? Alternatively, if the RA Board caves & fires Castle I hope she takes them for every dollar they still possess. Let Fox & Kearns have their fifteen minutes of glory then have to deal with the scorched earth they will have created.

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 remodelling - which seems inevitable - although I will admit to being one of the apparent few who still loves super rugby. But I don’t really want a complete return to the 90s.
