Sounds like the Wallabied backline to me, not sure if what was meant was the Reds would lose Kerevi and get Folau or the Reds would straight up lose Kerevi without Folau signing.

there was no criticism there. I am all for constructive criticism especially when it is expanded and explained upon. Baseless criticism is against the Forum rules.

Can I ask a question and betray my nativity and ignorance - with the level of dissatisfaction with the current board, why hasn’t there been a move against the current board? There are most certainly more than enough good rugby people about with the skills/experience to challenge the existing sitting members. And I would have thought ample motivation to do so. What has prevented a greater turnover?

Again - apologies for my ignorance in this Reg, but who exactly comprise the voting members? What determines membership? Also, do you know what action is required to trigger a board spill.
There are 27 Members whom are basically the Premier Clubs and the Country Unions, QLD Refs, BJRU etc I think:
I can't recall the specifics over spills and EGMS etc. But I don't think the constitution is too revolutionary. Corporate Governance principals (basically set down by the ASC and passed in 2013) are here:

Went to have a look for it with no luck but did stagger across our strategic plan 'pillars'
To that end, the QRU’s 2016-2020 strategy turns our attention to four major pillars:
- Fans & Participation Growth: We will continue to engage and build demand by placing the fan and participant at the centre of all we do. By 2020 we will aim to have the largest fan base in world Rugby, the largest contact and regular participation base in Australian Rugby and to be the largest recreational contact sport in Queensland.
- Football Performance: Through our high-performance structures we will secure sustainable on-field success and aim to be a consistently performing top 6 finisher in Super Rugby.
- Commercial Growth: To deliver investment and rate of return. We aim to continue to secure the necessary year-on-year investment into the Reds football program, the community game and to also achieve a 23% growth in annual turnover by 2020 - as well as to redevelop the Ballymore asset.
- Organisational Governance: QRU aims to provide leadership and management to its members and stakeholders under a unified governance model.

What's the point of having pillars, or goals, or whatever is fashionable in management-speak currently, if they are not expected to be delivered? The aim to have the "the largest fan base in world rugby" by 2020 is very specific and in an environment where that fan base is presently reducing year on year, surely there should be some more accountability than to merely say it is a policy.

Pillars.... Every time I read or hear that word I get a twitch. Early 2000s management blah blah blah weaselword that seemed to be everywhere and now thankfully is no more...
Bit like culture, that's the 2010s equivalent and is yet another MBA product but the result is the same, neither of them achieved nor achievable by the QRU
Good to see how well the Reds have done and hopefully someone will be held accountable for failing to deliver?
Hang on, is that a pink mammal with a curly tail that just flew past???

I get a twitch when i hear the phrase MBA. People pay legal tender to be taught buzz words for a year.
