Well Rugby Australia has new CEO. Marinos has gone from running SANZAAR to RA. He obviously pretty good as he gone from not even being on shortlist to getting the job. Either the ones that made shortlist were no good or McLennan was being a liberal with the truth again.
Hopefully he does a good job!

Can't Australia train their own?
Here's the thing: Straya is actually seen as a destination, not somewhere to flee from; folk arrive here by different means, hence we get to pick and choose.
So it's yeah nah Christmas Island detention for you, yeah nah ditto, nah yeah CEO of RA for you.

I'm happy to give him a chance, but his entire career as a senior administrator so far has been defined by terrible outcomes and bad decisions.mat the expat wrote: Sun Dec 27, 2020 1:01 am Fuxking Hell, in it's history of ineptitude, RA have surpassed themselves....

By comparison, probably. But there is probably a 15-year old Tamil girl on Christmas island who doesn't know rugby from roulette that would make a better RA CEO than we've had recently.OomStruisbaai wrote: Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:37 amExcellent pick.MungoMan wrote: Sat Dec 26, 2020 10:13 pmHere's the thing: Straya is actually seen as a destination, not somewhere to flee from; folk arrive here by different means, hence we get to pick and choose.

It's not a high bar, sadly.
