    @antipodean wow - so he played club (rep) rugby and 'enjoys the game' alongside those other attributes. Oh, and he has a penis :winking_face: 🎣

    And he's from Mosman....

    I wonder if I should send in my CV. I played rugby and lived in Mosman briefly. That's enough for a board position surely?

      No. I, on the other hand, am a fully rounded human being with a degree from the university of life, a diploma from the school of hard knocks, and three gold stars from the kindergarten of getting the shit kicked out of me.

        Wait on pal, I also lived in Mosman for 2yrs, and while I played my rugby for Colleagues, I often played AGAINST Mosman. So I have been on BOTH sides of the Mosman wank, which means I can understand the fancy rich folk as well as the poor, working class plebs of the Eastern Suburbs.

        My CV is in the mail.

                I'm from Eastbourne, lived in Bronte for a few weeks, played one game for Waverley and have seen a couple of family business failures. What's my chances?

                    I played against Randwick Boys - am I in with a shot?

                    I've been to Mosman too.

                      Let's not set the bar too high. If you can type Mosman into Google maps, you get an interview.

                          More deck chair shuffling on the HMAS Rugby Australia:

                          New Rugby Australia director Peter Wiggs has resigned.

                          The Supercars chairman and Archer Capital co-founder joined the RA board on March 30 and was poised to take the reins as chairman until a fallout over his plans to install Australian Olympic Committee boss Matt Carroll as chief executive without going through a recruitment or interview process.

                          Rugby AU Chairman Paul McLean says Raelene Castle suffered bullying during the final few months of her tenure at the organisation.

                          Wiggs also wanted to appoint Carroll's former boss, long-running former RA chief executive John O'Neill, to a director's role on the board.

                          Several RA directors raised concerns over the method behind both suggested appointments, leading to Wiggs threatening to resign. He did so this morning, board sources confirmed.

                            @antipodean more clown shoes... Rudderless and directionless, although I suppose that's better than going full steam ahead into an iceberg.

                              Kearns and co have been very quiet lately. Surely they've had time to come up with ONE idea.

                                    So ' I want to be chairman and I want my Buddy to be CEO, and it needs to happen now. If I don't get it ASAP I'll resign' is that basically it?

                                          https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/peter-wiggs-resigns-from-rugby-australia-board/news-story/89ee3931abde42856b7f1c0c86f4443c

                                          The Australian has obtained the email chain where McLean writes to Wiggs saying his “closeness” to Matt Carroll, the current Australian Olympic Committee CEO who has been suggested as the next Rugby Australia boss, “would be a concern for most Boards. So how do we apply separation”.
                                          
                                          McLean suggests that Magellan executive and incoming board member Hamish McLennan would be a more suitable chairman. McLean proposes that Carroll and McLennan meet “immediately”.
                                          
                                          The email from McLean reads: “What if we get Hamish and Matt together immediately, and if Hamish is comfortable (with Matt) and to come to the Board early, and as designate Chair, we could appoint Matt (Phil (Waugh), Dan (Herbert), Brett (Godfrey), and me would support). You remain a lead director, without the Chair title which was never your desire, anyway, Matt gets the role he would like, and we get a good CEO immediately.
                                          
                                          “I can only presume you hate the politics as much as me, so I’m keen to get this resolved. I put Rob on hold, but that won’t last long. Maybe a chat in the morning.......... Rgds PM”
                                          
                                          Wiggs then replied to McLean saying he would resign today.
                                          
                                          “Hi Paul, This is a very disappointing email, what little regard I had for RA Board is now extinguished. I tried calling to discuss. I will resign tomorrow. Regards Peter.”
