    Ever since Alan Jones basically told a bunch of Australians to go and fight each other on the beach, I've disliked the man.
    The dude he was chatting to I'm inclined to feel differently about.
    I think he put his case very well.

    What about the one who has gone quiet, and seemingly managed to plug the leaks after being served with a writ?

    What about when the neighbour on the right begins to unexpectedly run in your back yard and throw the Molotov cocktails back?

    Thank you Mr McGowan.

    Interesting. From memory Papworth met Jones in his Sydney CBD residence to ask his opinion before publishing the "luminaries" letter which saw Puller, Clone & Clunk backflip on the "pissing money against the wall" rhetoric. They are, in Jones' own words, close friends.

    Papwoth's position at the time was the ARU should look at withdrawing from Super Rugby and strengthen an Australian Competition. Presumably Jones has "educated" him on the folly of his "blow up the Rebels AND Force" stance of that time.
    In light of the canning of today's meeting I'm guessing there are moves afoot in the East. These blokes have a ton of clout, no mistake. Interesting that Jones is raising the profile of Hans Sauer.

    He can raise the profile of Hans Sauer as much as he likes. It would be a failure to replace Stookie and Hans Sauer has no intention of taking a board position where Hans knows none of the president's of Sydney and Brisbane's club sides. You need people on the board who have a direct line to the coal face of community rugby. ARU needs to get out of Super Rugby and allow The 5 clubs to form their own "board" to manage the Australian contingent. Each club dies or survives on it's own merits. The management body liaises with SANZAAR and ARU but brings about a draft or some equalisation system. Let the ARU focus on Community as there is a heck of a lot of community that is not aligned with a super team - e.g. South Australia, Tassie, country regions etc. grow schoolboys, women's, 7-a-side, laws and everything they do now just take Super rugby away from the ARU.

    I can't understand this lot still not saying anything! Surely they see the damage they are doing! Seriously I think they would get more respect if the admitted they f$&@ed up and don't know what they can do.

    Sorry I am confused. One member called for a EGM which was seconded. The ARU then offered a meeting instead or as well due to the timing, that meeting was subsequently called off. So is the EGM still occurring 21 days from the two members voting for it?

    No argument there. He mentioned you as perhaps being a good pick for a Super Rugby "steering committee" to find a way forward from this mess. His words not mine. But in any event I didn't take it that he was talking about a board position. Some type of circuit breaker is imperative in light of the genuine player welfare concerns you raised.

    I'd say so. From 4.1 (c) of the constitution:

    The directors must, if requested to do so by at least two Voting Members, convene a general meeting.

    What's then latest from the coal face Hans, John? Rebs have been making some big noise recently.

    Agreed Moono. But it would be good to know exactly what's going on.
