So what's the point of this exercise? Why bother appointing someone to direct our rugby program if they'd not be suited to doing it anywhere else in the world?
I don't think that's how we're supposed to get better. Just bypass the role if that is the case, save the money and find a better coach.
It's a manager role. They're there to manage all the employees of the high performance unit. While I think it's largely the same thing as DoR the role they are seeking to fill is National High Performance Unit Manager.
'we are in this problem because we've done the same thing over and over'
This to me does seem like we're trying to do something different. We have some buy-in from people passionate about Australian rugby who have intimate knowledge with how everything operates here.
