Alison,
A year ago, when Raelene Castle was appointed, I was happy to let her have a go at fixing rugby and the RA. I have never met her, but I heard favorable comments from people like yourself and Twiggy, who met her earlier this year when she came to WA. She listened and she sounded promising.
However nearly a year has past now and I struggle to think of anything worthwhile that she has done or changed. So her period of grace is running out fast with me.
If she is indeed been held back by Clyne and the old boys, she should tender her resignation in frustration and move on, and not keep banking her $800K PA(or whatever pa), while rugby in Australia drifts on wards and downwards for another few years.
A few months ago Georgina quoted Raelene as saying she had met with WSR and NSW representatives, and had penned a letter to WSR approving the Western Sydney team subject to some conditions. Raelene must have got rolled by the "old boys" in RA and NSW, because suddenly we have Andrew Hore from NSW announcing the will be no Western Sydney WSR Not a word from Raelene.
