    I'd say I'm surprised, except I'm not.

      @tim Everyone has always said it's the administration at NSWRU that's a monumental disaster. They're half-witted amateurs in a professional business.

      There are unions threatening to leave NSW and join up with ACT and Southern NSW. I'm surprised they've stuck it out this long.

        Paul Doorn had to talk Central West down from the ledge about 6 months ago. They get nothing from RA or NSWRU but keep paying "participation" fees.

        Up in New England this weekend, Inverell 7s only had 2 refs scheduled for 2 solid days of rugby. I got an email this week asking the group for help. Unbelievable.

        The problem with being the biggest union: having the most people means having the most dickheads, statistically speaking. NSWRU is all over the shop with the amateur game completely split from the semipro game completely split from the pro game. Then there are the multiple schools associations who fuck with junior club rugby all the time... jeez...

        Smaller organisations like ACT have a laser focus on getting their shit together and ensuring their hierarchy is clear. The Reds realised they needed to streamline things and take advantage of initiatives like the NRC to rebuild their success

        Davis has to go - retaining Board or ExCo for excessive time works out well for approximately no organisation, ever.

            Andrew Ready suspended for 3 weeks

            The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee has accepted a guilty plea from Andrew
            Ready of the Force for contravening Law 9.12: Striking, after he was Red Carded
            during a Super Rugby AU Match at the Weekend.
            
            "With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul 
            play merited a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks due to the World Rugby instructions
            that dictate any incident of foul play involving contact with the head must start at a
            mid-range level. However, taking into account mitigating factors including the
            Player's clean judicial record and pleading guilty at his first available opportunity the
            Foul Play Review Committee reduced the suspension to 3 weeks."
            
            "The player is therefore suspended from all forms of the game up to and including
            26 March 2021. This includes the following fixtures:
            • Round 4 Western Force v Melbourne Rebels 12 March 2021
            • Round 5 Reds vs Western Force 20 March 2021
            • Round 6 Brumbies vs Western Force 26 March 2021.”
            


            Allan Alaalatoa suspended for 3 weeks

            The SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee has accepted a guilty plea from Allan
            Alaalatoa of the Brumbies for contravening Law 9.13: Dangerous Tackling, after he
            was Red Carded during a Super Rugby AU Match at the Weekend.
            
            "With respect to sanction the Foul Play Review Committee deemed the act of foul 
            play merited a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks due to the World Rugby instructions
            that dictate any incident of foul play involving contact with the head must start at a

            Foul Play Review Committee reduced the suspension to 3 weeks."
            
            "The player is therefore suspended from all forms of the game up to and including 2
            April 2021. This includes the following fixtures:
            
            • Round 4 Brumbies v Reds 13 March 2021
            • Round 6 Brumbies v Western Force 26 March 2021
            • Round 7 NSW Waratahs v Brumbies 2 April 2021.
            
            The Brumbies have a scheduled bye in Round 5 which does not count as a week for
            sanctioning purposes.”
