How does 33 Million a year stack up? Other than being a lot less than they were on previously.
Where will the cuts be made, the usual suspects are already trimmed to the bone
Nothing for Development Officers
Already next to nothing for the Community Game
Very little does direct to State Unions
Shute Shield pay for themselves (somehow)
Women's Rugby is not professional, so costs next to nothing
Sevens is an Olympic sport, I wouldn't be surprised if that was funded solely by the AusGOV funding, with RA putting not a single cent in (probably taking what they can get away with out TBH)
I don't see much else that can be slashed apart from Elite Junior Programs, the optimistically named High Performance Unit, Player Salaries and the high cost of treating executive managers and board personnel like royalty.
I can't imagine any of that will be hit too hard, so surely the players are the ones who will get the shitty end of the stick.
