Injunction / Appeal hearing - Rugby vs ARU! 23.08.2017

[Occidental]

Curious from listening to Alan Jones - Who would want Clyne's job? He alludes that other board members are angling for his job "he is being white-anted from within". Jones has a veiled threat to those trying, by telling them to stop or they will be "exposed". Eales, Robinson? Sounds to me that Alan Jones has come around on Cameron Clyne and is in his corner now. He certainly has no time for Eales "For Eales I can tell you can forget him.... I've been on boards with him he has nothing to contribute". He closes with "Certainly Cameron Clyne is trying to talk to everybody and that's to his credit". Why is Jones now applauding Clyne? What a mess.

Because despite championing the Force I'm sure Jones has his own agenda he is trying to promote.

[fulvio sammut]

The puppet master Jones has his pet marionette, Papworth, in line for a controlling position in the ARU.


Papworth couldn't care less about anything other than Eastwood, the Shute Shield and money for Eastwood.


If Papworth gets in the big winner will be Jones, who will vicariously be making the decisions.


Trust him like a viper.

Maybe it's time to close this thread Boss. No sense offending an ally with too much truth.

[Darren]

I think the cats out of the bag already.

As Jargan said, Jones has his own agenda (as does everyone else), I can't see a few individuals here having much influence over that

[fulvio sammut]

You trying to censor me, Shasta?

Me?

[shasta]

Not all about you Fulvio. Perhaps I should have used one of these:

[Sheikh]

It's a problem I have when people call for the board to be sacked. How do we know that they won't be replaced by, eg, 9 former Randwick players?

[Darren]

8 board positions, 8 states and territories = each state/territory should get to appoint their own board member to the national body.

Like Jones or not

Trust Jones or not.

At the moment RugbyWA and the Western Force desperately need people like Alan Jones and his microphone. We need for people on the East Coast to keep on caring about our plight. Without them people on the East Coast will move on, forget or just start caring about something else.

I heartily agree. Let us not get this bloke offside. He is a powerful voice with a huge platform. We need him as friend, desperately.

[SNOB]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend is an ancient proverb which suggests that two opposing parties can or should work together against a common enemy. Couldn't be truer at this time!

Exactly SNOB. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. Btw everthing he has said re ARU is true....

Thanks Exile
This was probably more the point I was trying to push. You have done it more eloquently.

[Ecky]

I've been giving AJ more cred than other commentators because of his unique knowledge of the ARU, having been in the system. While he has the shock jock thing, he can speak to rugby union things more than most. He would seem to be a great vehicle for highlighting the plight in the Sydney/NSW area.
