The crazy thing is, he has the right idea that Oz need to centralize. But that is not his idea, and he has provided nothing on how this will happen only 'hand over everything to RA and we'll do it'. No wonder the states that are not both financially fucked and know they have their old boys in power in RA aren't keen. On top he has been acting like a CEO, not a board chair. The board is supposed to set the goals, the CEO does the execution of those goals, it's in the fucking position title! There is real space for him to be sued for not acting as a board member should, it has been done before

Hamish is gonna drag this out to an Extraordinary General Meeting.
What a cockhead.
‘I won’t back down’: McLennan rejects resign deadline but board vote looms
Embattled Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan is planning to fight for his future after a group of rebel state unions joined forces to oust him.

A lot of dumb ozzies conflating centralization and keeping that twat. You can get rid of him and still centralize, you can under someone who has brains and is trustworthy and won't take a dump on Ozzie rugby for a few headlines like the league kid or Eddie

McLennan gone.
Board voted him out as chairman.
Good riddance fuckwit. I'd do it again

Geoff's take. Interesting comment in there too
RA is left with two highly inexperienced administrators, with no real business leadership experience between them, walking a financial tight rope, upcoming TV rights negotiations and major reforms desperately needed.
More good rugby men running a pro business. Basically what NZR report said we need to get away from. I don't know what experience those two have but I'd it enough?
Apparently RA had lost a minor sponsored and Cadbury is on the way out, too
What a mess before a potential golden period. Now that's looking more like an orange time for Ozzie

What do the states do now?
They got what they wanted. Does this mean them fall in behind the centralisation model now?
Lol, fat chance
Maybe RA will offer something beyond give us everything and we'll sort it?
But mmmm, who knows

The proposal was to align high performance under a centralised model with a number of areas highlighted for integration.
Yes, the precise details are still to be worked out, but you need the stakeholders around a table to work out exactly how it functions, after everyone has agreed in principle.
The alternative is to spend time providing a detailed model with no consultation, and then let each state spend more time picking apart the bits they don't like. Thus spending more time to get nowhere.
None of the states is particularly sustainable or profitable, and duplicating functions across each office and RA is a waste of money.
Get the bits than can be aligned into the agreement, and quickly, in order to make the operation lean.
Agile!
