    What happened to Growden. He came back to SMH for an article or two to tear RA to pieces, then dissapeared. I dont read Rugbyheaven australia anymore, i cannot stand Georgina Robinson and her dismissive attitude towards WA when they did nothing wrong. all her other articles are shit

    Up since pre-covid.

    Sold my Qantas shares in February so that lessened my exposure.

    Just wait until August/September when I re-invest because Qantas are too big to fail and we need a national airline (according to the pollies)

    Your memory's failing you. It was half way up Foveaux Street on the way to Tahland.

    Rugby Australia boss Raelene Castle has refused to rule out collecting a six-figure bonus awarded to her last year as the game navigates its way through a $120 million revenue crisis | geerob

    Raelene Castle faces a hostile pay negotiation with the players union on Saturday as it emerged she was awarded - but not paid - a six-figure bonus last year.

    Castle confirmed she was pencilled in for a $114,000 bonus, on top of her $775,000 salary, as a result of RA's self-awarded 72 per cent performance scorecard last year.she would not collect it at this stage, given she had just announced a 65 per cent pay cut to help get the business through the coronavirus shutdown.

    When pressed further, Castle refused to rule out collecting it at some point in the future.With the coronavirus pandemic prompting a shutdown of Super Rugby, and a projected $120m revenue hole, RA was forced to announce widespread cuts to staff, including the standing down of 75 per cent of the non-player workforce, the sevens squads, and a 30 per cent cut to the salaries of the organisation's 15-strong executive team.

    upped that to 65 per cent for a period of at least six months"It's the right thing to do. I have made that decision and recommended it to the board because we're facing really tough times and have to make these calls. Like everyone through the game that's had to stand down and make difficult decisions, I'm no different."

    The players union, RUPA, sounded the alarm this week when the funds, held by RA in a separate high-interest earning HSBC bank account, did not appear in the financial information disclosed by the governing body in its pay negotiations with RUPA.
