Mate you are dancing around the issue. How much funds, hell give or take say 50%, how much were you expecting the rest of the rugby world to drop into your pocket?
From your own positioning, I have a grasp at a figure of over $6M. If that's not right, simply speak up. What is it, half that? Quarter? Tenth?
You are currently receiving a massive skew in the NSWRU funds. It's apparently insufficient. Name a figure, I'm just trying to work out where you are starting from.
Clearly $700,000 is desultory.
You're misreading non-existent words between lines that aren't there. I was simply making the point that $700k spread amongst 12 clubs (if that's what this line in the accounts means) wouldn't go very far. It wasn't a criticism as we all know the NSWRU struggles to even break even. Any funding to clubs would need to come from the ARU and I don't understand why they would want to filter that through the NSWRU, but it's a pointless discussion anyway as the ARU has already said it is not going to fund Premier Clubs as they will "piss it up against the wall" in player payments.
Happy New Year --- let's move on!
BTW, previous posts have suggested there are very few paid employees at the NSWRU and I'm not sure whether there are any at the SRU. I have no inside knowledge of this, just relying on what others have said in the past.
