So yesterday I sent Rugby WA an email simply asking "WTF IS GOING ON!".
To my surprise last night at about 7pm I received a phone call from someone in the membership office. He said he was spending the night making contact to members who has emailed or rang in yesterday and just wanted to have a chat about any concerns we may have.
He just wanted to let me know that everything that was written in the media is all here say and nothing has come out of the Force offices. He said that they had hoped to have an announcement when the players got back but that has been pushed back a little bit.
He assured me that they are still in talks with coaching candidates but couldnt say who they where.( he did slip up a bit and mentioned Cheikas name a few times) He said that at present they where 1 day behind were they wanted to be eg naming a coach (now 2 days I guess) but they should be in a position very very soon.
He did say that their hands are tied a bit with what they can say because of restrictions placed on them from the ARU. He brought up what happened with Genia and how it was announced before everything had been completed and how in fact the reds had been made to explain themselves to the ARU but because the issue was a he said she said nothing could be done in way of sanctions or fines, but strongly denied any leak or announcement from any Force officials.
It was frustrating that he couldn’t say much and you can understand why, but what was good was getting a perspective from the force (maybe just this one guy but it’s a start) that they care about us the supporters so much so that he was staying back to make contact with some of us. This makes me feel a little better that there are actually people at RWA that care about the future of the force.
So I guess nothing new learnt but a bit of hope gained from my behalf.
