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!

Geoff Parkes sums things up well
Incredibly, offered a lifeline by his board on Saturday, another 24 hours to show why he should be retained as chair, McLennan reverted to type, and sealed his own fate. If there was ever a moment where he needed to show contrition and some ability to be able to bring rugbyâs stakeholders together, McLennan, already in a huge hole, chose to keep digging, urging state representatives to move against their own boards, as punishment for their âdisloyaltyâ. He couldnât see it, but he was merely doing the stateâs work for them, proving their point. It might be one thing for McLennan to be at war with some states, electing to go to an EGM determined to bulldoze his way through, but itâs another thing to drag all of the board into the impossible position where they would have to justify and validate his enmity, as central figures in a war none of them ever wanted to be part of. -

They have some money. Enough to pay pretty nicely.
And ultimately it's still a prestige job. You'd be coming in at rock bottom with a Lions tour and home World Cup on the horizon. It's not the worst sales pitch.
Exactly - if expectations are "better than 2023" then you can't lose!
Once you've had an international coaching gig, getting another one is easier. Like being a CEO: you can be the biggest fuckup in the room, but you've still got that on your resume so C-suite jobs are much easier.
Which I've never understood
If you failed you were obviously in over your head
What makes organisations think that the drowning man/woman learned to swim whilst he/she was drowning
Madness
Not that I'm saying that it's right, but CEO's are about their network more than anything else. Ability to pick up a phone to somebody else in a similar position and know they will take your call.

@Tim I read that earlier and tend to agree. One of the problems I had with Hamist when he came in was his confrontational manner, which I always had the impression was to show the Aussie rugby public he wasn't going to be pushed around? He did it in press and it got lapped up by some, and why I always thought he was a bit of a publicity hound, and that was way of operating. I thought the same when he kept waving red flag at League, (a game I don't like etc) ,but I just thought a lot of it was not best prctice.
