It's Russ then...

Which part of "respected" don't ya understand?

R.E.S.P.E.C.T ? Ok I'll find out what it means to you, I suppose.

I think you two should take this offline and discuss it in person at an away game in Northampton.

I'm assuming down to Competitions Management Committee is all about the amateur game, and those below are either professional and amateur, or both? Is there a Club Committee and a Clubs Committee, or is that a typo?
If we have a finance committee, and A Robinson is an employee with the title Head of Finance and Operations, why are they not the chair of this committee?
If we have a Commercial & Marketing Committee, and D Kelly is Senior Marketing Manager, why are they not the chair of this committee?
If we have a Development Committee, and C Webster is the Head of Rugby Development, why are they not the chair of this committee? Is A Robinson the same person who is Head of Finance & Operations?
If we have a Professional Game Board, and Bryn Cunningham is Head of Rugby Operations and Recruitment, why does he not chair this committee?
Is Gavin Hogg still head of the academy, his name doesn't appear to be listed on the staff list?

I'm sure I've more questions, but that is enough to start for anyone that has insight! Thanks.

Committee chairs are usually non executive ie not employees as (one of) their function(s) is to hold the executive to account on their delivery of strategic plans.

O’Sullivan
French
Jones
Shanahan
Burns
Marshall - retiring
Carson

McDonald comes back from Connacht to fight it out with McKee for 3rd choice scrum half. You imagine Saunderson and Wilson go onto development contracts to replace French and O’Sullivan. Same with McNabney and McLoughlin for Jones. 10 has to be from outside the province. Plenty of bodies around centre and back three, Moxham to be fit again next season as well. Some savings made there.

I’ve no problem with spending money on (the right kind of) big names or the academy but it’s squad filler of the likes of Jones and Shanners that we’ve been almost obliged to re-contract where the waste is.
