Robinson's naivety was apparent as he could have just said that the ABs can't fly to Perth due to the change in WA's controlled border arrangements with NZ which requires 14 days of self-quarantine. Then if Rennie, Marinos and co whinge they should be asking questions of McGowan not NZR.

That's not totally accurate I believe. They wouldn't have had to quarantine for two weeks as long as they arrived today, and they would have been allowed to train in their bubble.
The main issue is that if the remaining RC games don't go ahead, then the ABs won't be able to return home after the Perth test as there are no MIQ rooms available until November. That's how I read it anyway.

He has shown to be lacking in the necessary communication skills. It happened with the Silverlake deal too. A superior communicator could have explained what was going on quite simply

Yes agree with that,it would leave the AB’s potentially stuck in Australia with no more games.

Nah he's an arrogant cock and just says 'we're happy with our process and decisions' without explaining it, like they are not in anyway beholden to the public and stakeholders

That is certainly the way he comes off. Whether he is, or just a generally shy guy (as a player he seemed pretty quiet) that doesn't cut it in his job

@canefan Mitchell has been quiet as the chairman compared to Impey. Robinson has been thrown under the bus a little bit and failed miserably.

Plenty of blame to go around. Let's just implicate the whole team. One for not getting the SANZAR partners on the same page, and for failing to communicate what was going on to the media before things happened

Of course he could have,Hes been shit with communication.The reason I can understand why the AB'S didn't go, in the end the right choice.But Robinson has handled it poorly.

I think most people on here have deep concerns about NZR governance right now. It's amateur hour... the latest bit (if true) is a complete clusterfuck.
Kinda like the Old Blues Administration too - just so shortsighted and happy to go into conflict with people they need to work with
-
Regardless of the relative strength of the teams, or what anyone may think of Marinos, this is piss-poor from NZ's administration.
I cannot believe that some sports organisations (and I include RA in that) haven't really moved past amateur level on so many things.
I rate this fuckup more fuckuppedly than RWC2003 hosting rights negotiation.

Nah, 2003 was wholly and completely self inflicted by the sound of it. This, on the other hand, at least had some external influence to it (Covid you bastard)
