Look at Qantas. No standing there making idiotic statements, he/she would have been marched from the organisation so quickly their head would be spinning. What do we think would happen to this CEO? Having worked in gas, mining, and oil since I got out of the military, I can tell you that the moment that the CEO’s new plan failed, he or she would be gone. Future investment in the company looks dire. Not only does it fail, it fails big the impact on the business’s bottom line is huge. But bugger it, the CEO throws it all on black, invests, sets up, and it fails. His conventional engineering staff and former dockside crews say that this might not be a good idea, and there’s no evidence that this new approach will work. Let’s look at the corporate world equivalent let’s say the CEO of BHP hangs it all out there, blows away all the current methodology for loading iron ore or coal onto shipping vessels, and invests in a new system that’s going to be a game changer. Wow, this statement just tops off the lack of judgement, arrogance, and lunacy of our current chairman. ![]() Like WTF? Really? Having seen the damage he has caused the game, its fans, the players, and our international rugby reputation, he thinks he’d do the same thing again. What really got my goat, is that Hamish said “…that given the circumstances he would make the same call again”. And that is exactly where we find the Wallabies. Ricky Bobby once said, “If you ain’t first……you’re last”. The predication of all of this is you have to win. In other words, if you want the reward you have to take the risks. My children have made a more colloquial version of this which I’m sure has come out of many children’s films, and will be familiar to most readers “You have to risk it for the biscuit’. The Australian and British Army have a unit known as the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) or the ‘Regiment’ as it’s referred to. I think I am doing it for the right reasons.”Īs most of the G&GR readers may know, I spent over 30 years in uniform in the Australian Army prior to stepping out into the business world. ![]() But I also want to stick it out and fix it once and for all. I felt so bad after we lost to Wales and there were fans in the street who’d spent their money going over to watch the games and the tournament, and all their hopes had been ripped up. “In business and in life, you don’t have a 100 percent success rate. It is unfair to say it was my call only, but I was certainly an advocate for Eddie and I think given the circumstances I would probably make the same call again.” “We have had to make a lot of significant calls for rugby over the last three years so I was in a position where I certainly gave a point of view. “I think it’s unfair because it was socialised among the board and we were all concerned about how the team was performing ,” McLennan said. And I’m surprised that he’s surprised that he’s copping such a pasting. Hamish has come in for a lot of criticism in the last few weeks, and to be 100% honest, he had it coming. Having read Friday’s News with Hoss, and then actually sitting down and watching the Hamish ‘The Hammer’s’ interview, I, and I’m sure that I’m not alone, was blown away by both the stupidity and arrogance of our RA Chairman. So feel free to have a crack as the more the merrier. ![]() So settle down with your coffee, pretend you’re working hard, and come along for the ride.Īs always this is a fan-run site and any contribution is always welcome feel free to reach out to me at it with an article an idea or an opinion piece. Then revisit Tupou’s statement of the bleeding obvious. Then review the results of Hoss’s coaching poll in I ‘See Your Cheikers and Raise You a Schmidt’. To start this week off we are going to look at some of the things that the Hammer has said recently in “Who Dares Wins”. Firstly a big thanks to Reds and Wallabies Fan (RAWF) for stepping up to the plate at short notice and filling in for me last Monday. ![]()
