Lol now Brett Papworth aka Pappy aka that mouthy fluffybunny who likes to lob grenades at anything that isn't 1980s and 90s club rugby as a development system is spruiking a new structure.
Unsurprisingly, Alan Jones is involved, along with some other old farts who are like minded.
They quoted the current president of RUPA (Tahs hooker Damien Fitzpatrick) as supporting them, which turned out like this:

They need to work on their press releases. The Papworth letter was very long without much content
So basically they want power to go back to the clubs? Whats the new org they talk about creating? Is this a coup to set up a rival ARU?

No, it's a bullshit, empty promise of the old guard who think that what worked back in the 90s will be just fine today and into tomorrow.

Meh. Nothing that isn't known.
I think the point is that it either isn't known by those that count or they are incapable of doing anything about it.

We've learned the hard way (2007) that blaming refs and other factors only gets you so far. At some point you have to be brutally honest about the failings before you can start fixing them. Papering over cracks does not work long term.
There were some fair points in the (harsh) article. At the heart, though, is the point NTA keeps making - Aus does not have a setup that develops proper, test ready rugby players. NZ Cricket suffers from this too. NZ Rugby and Aus Cricket don't - they have the player base and coaching setups to keep on throwing up outstanding players, time after time.

Just in case you see the name Lukhan Salakaia-Loto in a future Wallabies squad: it's not a new player.
Lukhan Tui has legally changed his name to Lukhan Salakaia-Loto to honour his late stepfather.http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/10/31/lukhan-tui-changes-name-to-salakaia-loto
