Rugby WA needs to have more vision.
A great article in The Australian today about the French obsession with scrummaging. They got engineers from the aerospace industry to build a more realistic type scrum machine that is akin to the real thing.
Rugby WA could invest in a few of these . Rugby WA could set up the National scrum academy.
Rugby WA could set up The Rugby School and have an all boys school dedicated to rugby training. The advantage of a smaller rugby community is that it would work. Expats, saffers, kiwis would be lining up. They could offer overseas scholarships to RSA kids/kiwis. Grow your own elite juniors
Rugby WA could set up a better academy system. They could set up enough groups to have 3 academies and play all teams against each other or compete in the local comp which would increase the profile of the sport. The eastern states, kiwis, Europeans, RSA is full of people that would buy in. Grow your own elite juniors and grow the profle of the sport
Anybody that whines about "it needs money" should be fired and the business community should be hired to raise money to make it work. We live in the richest state in Australia. You can smell the money coming out of the ground. Our time is now. If the state rugby organisation can't get it off the ground, they are apathetic, useless, uninspiring, visionless and should be executed in front of a baying mob.
The immigration of rugby families is at an alltime high with the political situation in RSA, British immigration escaping the consequences of centuries of colonisation, the mining boom attracting kiwis and eastern states expats. The iron is hot. Strike now or miss the opportunity.
Rugby WA has no balls or vision. If it is holding its hand out to the ARU and spending these precious moments whining like little b1tches about the slings and arrows of inequity, sack the farking lot and lets hire an inspiring team of visonaries and ball tearers.
Take some initiative
Show some vision
use a bit of imagination
At the moment, the future of elite rugby is based around poaching players from other Unions. That is a recipe destined for failure.
Lets fix it, not next year, not in 10 years. Lets fix it today ! Take action
