Terms of Reference for a Senate Inquiry into the Future of Rugby Union in Australia

[andrewM]

Mark said at the start of his statement that he cannot criticize or comment negatively on the ARU as part of his termination agreement, but jeez he's pushing the line!

[GIGS20]

Mark says that RugbyWA weren't asked for a submission

[Moono74]

Great statement by Sinders

[andrewM]

Senator advising he is covered by priviledge so maybe he will open up more

[GIGS20]

Don't say "We" Linda, it makes you look less than impartial.

[Moono74]

Now we are getting into the Rebels insolvency issue........YES. Rob Clark also being exposed for his ties to the Rebels.

Unfortunately whilst this will bloody the ARU's reputation and that of its board it won't bring us back which is the sporting travesty!!

[andrewM]

Leaked Alliance agreement dirt coming out now

[wasmute]

Starting to get juicy about VRU & Rob Clarke...

[GIGS20]

Unfortunately whilst this will bloody the ARU's reputation and that of its board it won't bring us back which is the sporting travesty!!

After a couple of weeks to calm down, I'm perfectly OK with that situation. If the ARU get burnt to the ground, it will only speed up the implementation of the IPRC!

[GIGS20]

RugbyWA saying that North got his copy of the Alliance Agreement during the negotiations over killing the team, not as counsel to the ARU.

If that's true, I would suggest it's a comical blunder by a QC.

[Moono74]

Rugby WA team providing plenty of meat to the inquiry and highlighting the ability of the ARU as a SANZAAR partner to have vetoed all this and that the broadcasters preferred option was for 5 Australian teams.

[Kalahard]

Wow, just wow. RugbyWA has put the cat amongst the pigeons. Some explosive allegations by RugbyWA have my jaw on the floor. In April RugbyWA told the ARU that they had Twiggy’s 100% commitment of support but didn't even respond to Tony Howarth. Just astonishing.

[shasta]

So: there is another day set down for this inquiry. Then; can the senators, if they are not satisfied that the ARU has acted properly or they need more testimony from them, set further dates. Also when they get all the information they require, what can they then do if they think an injustice has been done?

[Alison]

What was it that Clyne said when the inquiry was announced? That they had nothing to hide or worry about?? Wanna retract that Cameron?

[Tonkar]

Thanks Team Western Force for the information.. Kalahard and all the the other I really appreciate the feed sounds very Juicy
