NSW Waratahs chairman Roger Davis has warned that the Australian Super Rugby sides will go broke unless Raelene Castle delivers an uplift on the current broadcast deal | smhsport
RA sees it as a matter of due diligence to test market interest in rugby, not only with its current partner and free-to-air networks but also with OTT providers such as Optus, Amazon and Netflix.
"We should be going into the new year talking about a great season of rugby ahead but instead we're tearing ourselves apart on governance and leadership," he said, adding any move to install O'Neill as chairman would have to go through the proper nomination and appointment process. The jockeying has begun, although O'Neill and current director John Wilson are the only names linked to the chairman's role as yet.
Castle's future will be considered a live issue under a new chairman, with several directors considered "sceptics", pending the outcome of broadcast rights negotiations.
