Scrumtime - for Rugby Tragics

• 30/4/2007 - WHO NEEDS A BOARD OF DIRECTORS ANYWAY?

By Gatesy,

I just had this great idea for running Australian Rugby.

Why bother having a Board of Directors,at all?

Why not just let the journalists run it,, or that bloke called "Everyman and his dog". Or why not just do a whip around of the barflies at all the Rugby clubs every time we need a decision made?

Because that is what seems to be happening anyway, by default.

We spend a lot of time complaining, so we get a new Board, and immediately the knives are out, the conspiracy theories are under way, and people seem to forget that a Board of Directors is a small representative group, which is elected to look after the interests of the stakeholders.

The trouble with Rugby is that everyone with the any barrow to push, not matter how minor, thinks he's a stakeholder.

Peter Jenkins is already accusing hte ARU of dropping the ball, and it's only Monday!

How about all of us sitting back, taking a big deep breath and letting the new Board get on with it?

John O' Neill only wants the job on his terms, and who says that there isn't someone better out there?

The domestic Test season isn't going to be affected one bit if the new board takes a couple of weeks to get a new person in place, the Super 14 is almost over, and nobody's gong to save the Waratahs or the Reds in the next couple of weeks, so what's the harm in getting a careful process in place?

What does everyone else think?

I say give Peter McGrath a fair go and let his new Board at least get their feet under the table before we start bagging them.

So my boyfriend's ex, Zeren, kept trying to come back into his life....he always made it seem like he didn't want anything to do with her. Finally, it came to be that he was talking to her behind my back. I tried calling her, but she never would call me back. I always assumed men would cheat with someone better looking than the person they were with...I stand corrected!
And then there was Jennie, even though he didn't exactly cheat (maybe)...the text I found in his phone was pretty gross!!!!

My name is John Gates ("Gatesy"), from Australia. I am a Rugby "Tragic". This is a site for posting Rugby items that might be a little unusual, from Rugby sites around the world, in places that may not be traditional Rugby strongholds. I am particularly interested in the development of the game in all Rugby countries,not just the traditional ones. There are some "sleeping giants" out there and when they are stronger it will be a greater game for all. PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS AND MAKE THIS AN INTERESTING FORUM.
