Crono was sounding pretty confident of getting some key signings for the Rebels shortly after the Super Rugby season wrapped up, then there was a side comment on the Rugby Wrap interview that things weren't going to plan, laying the blame pretty obscurely at RA's feet. Izack Rodda pretty much squarely said he'd signed overseas after pressure to move to the Waratahs in order to keep his top up.
Given the huge delay in contracts being finalised and those three hints I'm inclined to believe that the final signing authority is playing funny buggers in an attempt to continue the mantra "A strong Waratahs is essential for a strong Wallabies" and fuck everybody else.

This has been a long time MO of RA - and look what a runnaway success that has been. Got no hard data; just relying on memory but thinking back to the likes of Benny Mac, Brownie, Hodgo etc; Wallaby contract renewals either took an age or resulted in us losing the player to "The East". The more I see the more I'm worried the same strategies will have the same outcomes.
Makes me think of Jeremy Paul's comments. It's the same people still in the office/positions who have seen 5 different CEOs. Good reason why nothing actually changes. Even though its RA it's ran by mainly NSW and Qld who flat out refuse to think bigger than their own backyard
It appears that Kevin Foote is about to be announced as the next Junior Springbok coach
