    https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/07/24/exclusive-waratahs-ceo-made-redundant-key-coach-let-go-after-unprecedented-run-of-injuries/

    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.

                            Tahs pack could look like this:

                            1. Bell
                            2. Porecki

                            5. Amatasero
                            6. Leota
                            7. Gamble
                            8. Gleeson

                            With some handy reserves in the front row at least - should they stay healthy.

                                      Interesting to see Jorgenson back in there. Huge potential but thought he was absolutely pants for the Waratahs this year, always trying to do too much.

                                        Interesting to see Jorgenson back in there. Huge potential but thought he was absolutely pants for the Waratahs this year, always trying to do too much.

                                        Probably looked that way in relation to his team mates, who often didn't seem to be trying at all...

                                          I think the contract issue might have been a factor for young Jorgensen too

                                          Trying too hard to justify his new deal etc.

                                          Looks like this squad is just for the 2 Bok tests

                                          Trialing some new players - makes sense

                                          Exciting.
