    @Daffy-Jaffy they will struggle to field a team at this point. Could be a long year for them next year.

    Unlikely to be worse than this year. With new coaching staff, an uninterrupted integration with RA's high performance setup it'll be a rebuilding year. Like all the others...

    Losing HJH doesn't help, but I don't feel the Reds are really bolstered by the addition of Gibbon and Anderson. Their benefit is that they've played SR before. And that's about it.

    Those negotiations were probably already well in train before the Tahs had cemented their coaching announcements. And tbh I think that's where the Tahs focus has to start - professionalism there will flow down to high performance in the squad.

      Those Rebels players are straight on to the Qld bench to play Wales.

        Makes sense. The good players already played Wales twice. The rest of the squad is starting for the Reds on Friday.

          The other factor is that the Tahs have now sorted their HP and Coaching so should be able to proceed with signings. Gives players confidence.

          If HJH is leaving it is probably for Twiggybuck$ and someone else (Tupou? Kilea? Both?) is inbound

                Less than 12 months after aligning with Rugby Australia, NSW Waratahs chief executive Paul Doorn has been made redundant.
                
                The Roar can reveal the administrator will finish up in the next couple of months, with Doorn set to stay in the role to help new director of performance Simon Raiwalui and head coach Dan McKellar finalise their roster.
                
                What’s more, The Roar can reveal respected strength and conditioning coach Nick Lumley departed earlier this month.
                
                It’s believed Lumley had only recently signed an extension, but the experienced S&C coach was told he wasn’t required by McKellar, who is busy trying to finalise his coaching team after being appointed earlier this month.

                  Is that accurate, strictly speaking? I always throught it was the role that gets made redundant, not the person.

                  Are they saying he was booted or that the role of CEO is no longer required?

                    In any case - real shame. I crossed paths with Paul a few times during my time on the Suburban Board, and he's a really nice bloke and "got" community rugby.

                    Even if NSWRU is basically a toothless tiger that can't even tell its own schools and comps what to do.

                              So easy to change to Chris or something. Maybe he thought it was memorable, or his Mum kept telling him it was special.

                              Or that she really wanted a girl.

                                    Looks like it was accurate - position of CEO gone. Waratahs seem to be headed toward a model where they are literally just a High Performance Unit under RA.

                                    This makes sense in terms of Waratahs being a separate entity to NSW Rugby.

                                        That's nice but I refuse to hope...

                                          Tahs pack could look like this:

                                          1. Bell
                                          2. Porecki
                                          3. Tupou
                                          4. Grant
                                          5. Amatasero
                                          6. Leota
                                          7. Gamble
                                          8. Gleeson

                                          With some handy reserves in the front row at least - should they stay healthy.
                                          16. Heaven
                                          17. Lambert
                                          18. Ross
