[Fluffy]

Yep, just not me.

But im sure someone does.

 

[The Wheel]

Only official today howver, board meeting wasn't until yesterday, therefore someone must have leaked it to the Daily - luckily the board didn't reject his appointment.

Isn't the NSWRU one of the worst run sport's admin bodies in Australia? How many times have they been in debt etc. Lets not forget the Concorde Oval debacle.

Thar is true but I thinka broome went through a few years ago and it is better run but good point.
