[QUOTE=Rex Messup;38990 .....clubs can be more proactive on raising their own funds rather than sticking their hands out.
I don't think clubs get anything from RugbyWA or the ARU other than a poorly run local competition and the payment of the player insurance (which RugbyWA threatens to withdraw every year).
Everything else they provide (which is next to nothing) is either unnecessary, unwanted, comes with strings, or is provided ad hoc or incompetently.
Most clubs could raise what RugbyWA and the ARU give them financially with a badly run chook raffle at midnight on a Monday.
No established clubs need anything from them.
What the clubs need is for them both to get their act together and meet their own financial obligations without trying to bleed the clubs dry, stop interfering, and to show some modicum of competence in administering their own affairs.
