From my experience, Farr Jones is a tossed of the highest order
The criteria for selection should include;
- Merchant wanking background preferred
- "Two Fathers" (Hyphenated surnames) a must
- People with no interest in junior, school, club or suburban rugby are encouraged to apply
- Willingness to conduct season reviews before season end is non negotiable
- Ability to remain anonymous, avoid the public eye, brush off rugby stakeholders and ignore fans will be highly regarded
- Lack of ambition, reluctance to make tough decisions, and comfort with mediocrity will be viewed favourably.
- Send us a photo, wearing your favourite cravat, and in 2500 words or less, what your preferred wine region is and why.

He's also on the board of the NSWRU not the Waratahs which Bruce pointed out was responsible for the running of the professional body. Would personally like to see the board voted in by the stakeholders - 6 person board - one position selected by country clubs, 1 position by city clubs, 1 by sponsors, 3 by members (may split 1 for life members 2 for season ticket holders). The nominees should be selected by the NSWRU board and have numerous candidates over a range of professional areas. I'd suggest management, business, sales/marketing/promotions, sports management as some of the areas. I would also like to think that a rugby background does not necessarily have to be a must, just a love of the game (the two can be separated).What's your problem with Nick Farr-Jones?
He's surely one of the few good eggs they have.
No, it wasn't aimed at Nick, he's a good guy who I have a lot of time for, it was a selection criteria for the Waratahs board.What's your problem with Nick Farr-Jones?

One does not wear a cravat and a tie, and one can have a cravat fashioned in one's alma mater standard if one so wishes. And one can always wear one's pin on one's lapel. One would caution against a cravat and pocket square, lest one wishes to appear foppish.Don't be silly. The cravat would obscure the old-school tie and university pin.
What's spooky here is that I wrote those Board Selection criteria points looking forward, with no reference to the existing board.......I don't know any of the board including Mr Lindommer or anything about him.Oi, back off my mate Lindommer. There's no reason why you should discriminate against him. A wine merchant who travels through all of our country's wine regions and still has a driver's licence exhibits the most extraordinary self control.
.
Well God Bless him then.Actually, Iiwii, Lindommer is a long standing and respected member of this forum and not a member of the Waratahs Board.
Thought there would've been a few more comments on Arvid Peterson.
Anyone else here recall what happened the first chance that the NSWRU board got once the ARU administrators got them out of financial trouble? And who one of the men at the centre of that vote was? (Hint: his initials are "AP".)
Deep pockets to fund things other that players salaries.
Junior development, and academy programmes. SRU development.
Redevelopment of ovals and training facilities, lights, drainage etc.
Tahs into schools, Tahs into Hospitals etc.
Teach the Teacher coaches in the public system.
Pay to fix all those things that the NSWRU doesn't have $ or inclination to invest in.
