Waratahs chief executive Paul Doorn has revealed coach Rob Penney is on unpaid leave and explained why he is open to his own salary being slashed further | tomdecent
Waratahs coach Rob Penney has been stood down without pay, but not his assistants, while NSW Rugby chief executive Paul Doorn has taken a 30 per cent pay cut and is open to a further reduction to help keep the franchise afloat.
Penney, who signed on as NSW coach in October last year, is not being paid at present. He has gone back to New Zealand to be with family, but is still assisting the team from afar in preparation for a potential return to an Australian domestic competition.However, Chris Whitaker and Matt Cockbain, two of the team’s assistant coaches, are still on the books.
“There are a whole host of people we’d love to keep on the books, but it’s just not possible at the moment.” It is less than the 65 per cent Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle has sacrificed but Doorn’s salary is significantly less than the $775,000 Castle earns a year.Waratahs boss Paul Doorn has taken a 30 per cent pay cut.
