QH as I noted, every area is different and will require a different approach.
But if we get to taking over from some clubs and leaving others surely this whole haphazard implementation has got to be wildly inefficient.
If the ARU or NSWRU has to have the staff to implement half of the clubs' work in this proposal they will need staff and infrastructure that will be more half the total cost. They basically just won't have boots on the ground in a few areas.
Which then funnels money away from the grants to the good clubs.
It has to be a consistent approach. They need to manage it all, have the staff in place and do it properly or do it not at all and not have the majority of the staff, only having people to administer and act as a conduit.
The ARU have made their call it seems. They're putting it all in the basket of doing it themselves consistently, but most importantly starting now. Not waiting to see how it pans out with the clubs first.
Guys like Dave if you have an issue with this, in my view you should be looking at your contemporaries who are NOT doing it as well as you, as you are somewhat guilty by association, rather than merit. Which is unfortunately what's going to occur if you try and implement any sort of consistent effort.
