Director of Rugby at Harlequins

Cheika set for contract extension as another Wallabies head coaching candidate slips by

I think your example is not the same thing
The guy hasn’t even played the sport yet or worked for those people
This is different to situations people you and I may have worked with, often for long periods of time, during our working lives

Rugby News: RA hunting missing million after contract blunder, Suaalii worth 10x more than his deal, McKellar's big win

Exactly.
Why is Suaalii even talking to Hamish and Eddie (deadie Eddie).
They are gone, it’s irrelevant.
What is this?
A John Edward episode.

Rugby News: RA hunting missing million after contract blunder, Suaalii worth 10x more than his deal, McKellar's big win

That’s exactly how I pictured how it panned out.
Remember Hamish saying “anything he wants”

Rugby News: RA hunting missing million after contract blunder, Suaalii worth 10x more than his deal, McKellar's big win

I don’t think anybody seriously thought it meant a $50 million injection (OK this is the Roar so maybe a few)
But it didn’t buy ad space, it bought column inches in the press (not all of it, maybe not even the majority of it positive)
At the end of the day there is no way you can quantify that “exposure”
I can tell you one thing though, that press received is not worth $50 million.

I don’t really want to talk about him but McLennan’s lack of business intelligence is shown here in spades.
Best part of two million dollars missing from a “verbal” French deal.
Four million dollar budget blowout on World Cup.
Plus outrageous claims that Suaalli’s signing has generated fifty million dollars of publicity for the sport.
The guy hasn’t and may not even start to play and has already indicated he will go back to league at the end of his contract.
Creating an intangible measurement of something that can’t be quantified.
The man is a total joke.

And of course, they could always et Twiggy to sponsor. You know, the billionaire wh loves Rigby Union so much he made his own international competition. They really hate him, don’t they.

Twiggy is too busy sponsoring rugby league now 😔

Cash-strapped Rugby Australia sign $80m debt deal to help give game second life ahead of Lions, World Cups

Anybody know a good defamation lawyer? 😡

'Shame on the plodders': Hamish blasts RA 'boneheads' as Harvey Norman deal ends - but founder denies link to axing

And Mumford & sons wrote a song called “Little Lion Man”
The lyrics are so appropriate here.

All hail Geoff.
King of the Roar trolls.

ANALYSIS: McLennan's fatal blind spot, and why his exit leaves Australian rugby in a better place and a worse one

He has more to worry about than RA

'They can't lean on me': Why McLennan bailed on the board as 'agitators' welcome 'honourable decision'

Well.
He can now 😂 😂 😂

'What a shame': McLennan GONE as Rugby Australia name World Cup-winner chairman to bookend wild year

Now to win the Cricket World Cup and that will be a pretty tidy Sunday 😂

'What a shame': McLennan GONE as Rugby Australia name World Cup-winner chairman to bookend wild year

The problem is has McLennan ever cared about the game?

'I won't back down': McLennan set to dig in as embattled RA chair calls on EGM to 'clear this up once and for all'

So the fate of the Chairman rests in the hands of the South Australian Rugby Union?

'What a shame': McLennan GONE as Rugby Australia name World Cup-winner chairman to bookend wild year

“Do you think Hamish won’t be replaced by another Hamish? Pulver? Castle? O’Neill?”

Of those only Hamish was the chairperson.
The others were all CEO’s.

Hamish has made a mockery of the Chair position and acted well outside of his remit as outlined in the letter from the states currently circulating.
He must go.
It is Phil Waugh’s job to drive centralisation.

I love a good letter

'No longer have any trust or faith': Rugby Australia chairman told to resign by SIX states, EGM looms with 'gloves off'

I do wonder what biscuits (or perhaps cookies, brownies) he likes ????

Perhaps he can just stay where he is and save us $1.6 million

'Coming back': Roosters boss's alarming revelation about prized $1.6M NRL recruit

So the Rebels Wallabies need a psychiatrist to recover from Eddie and his team of psychiatrists 🤢

'We think it's mental': Rebels hire AFL sports psych as coach backs 'tough' Carter to overcome RWC battle

Enough with the Rugby League references Eddie FFS

'I am a better coach': Eddie's head-turning take, says several teams keen on him despite Wallabies flop

Perhaps we can hope on the first instance than rely on the second 😂
