I thought we weren’t supposed to read news articles ?
That's why, because I heard McLennan say he wasn't on shortlist, I didn't read it. Why I saying SMH must be making stuff up.
Or the alternative is ....................

Or, maybe the employment situation has changed in the months since they last commented on this situation, you know, COVID and all that.
Aren't these uniformed rumours the kind which you were criticising others for spreading previously?
Why I pointed out that SMH must be lying, the report that KiwiM posted is exactly what McLennan said on live tv, that is not a rumour as I heard and watched him say it! The same night he ssid he had minutes to prove what he said about the SANZAAR meeting was supposed to of said, and ok he didn't actually have minutes only his notes, but maybe he was just mistaken what the difference between minutes and personal notes are. But he definitely got a bit heated and assured the questioner (Joe Wheeler) when he asked the question, and he definitely said he was NOT in the shortlist etc, and I believe he said he wasn't even going to be interviewed. He either had a shit shortlist or as I believe the SMH is just making up stories!
Or.. It’s entirely possible the situation has changed over the past few months.
Since that comment was made New Zealander Brett Impey has quit his role as SANZAAR Chairman.
Playing devils advocate to the rumours being suggested here. But If Marinos feels his position at SANZAAR is untenable following Brett Impeys resignation and call for structural change, is he not allowed to express interest in another job?
Sorry mate, but i must have missed where it was announced Marinos had applied for job before September. What's the source for that?Sorry mate Marinos applied for RA job at least 2 months before Impey resigned and was good enough to make shortlist!

I'm confused, is your point that RA have being deceitful and lied because 3 months ago he wasn't on the short list and now he is? Or are you suggesting the journalists lied in their reporting?
Someone is mate, I did see McLennan say he had not on shortlist (and scource was him saying it on Breakdown programme on TV) and so was not in running for the job . It came up when Wheeler asked if perhaps Marinos was not a neutral in SAANZAR (which I didn't really agree with) because he had reportedly applied for job. McLennan replied it was rubbish as he had missed making the shortlist and wasn't being interviewed. ( I was surprised it was first I had heard Marinos had applied)
Yep mate I really used it to point out how bloody crooked some reportes appear to be, I surprised that RA haven't called them out over it.
I’ve got a bit of an issue with your comments because your claiming someone is being deceitful and lying, you’ve misquoted McLennan in the process, and you’re only evidence for this are articles from 3 months ago.
What McLennan actually said in those interviews was that Marinos wasn’t on shortlist for the job, and that Marinos had carried himself in a ethical manner through all dealings with RA and NZRU. If you’re going to paraphrase someone’s comments, then do it accurately, not with a liberal interpretation.
Regardless of what was said then, 3 months laters and Impey has resigned as Chairman of SANZAAR and called for structural reform of SANZAAR, and now Marinos is on the shortlist for a new job, is that really that surprising? That doesn’t mean comments made 3 months ago were a lie or deceitful, just that the situation has changed.
I disagree Dan, and I also think it’s poor form to insinuate someone was being deceitful or lying without evidence.
I keep hearing about the brave new world for rugby in Australia under McLennan.
Well here we are 2 days short of Christmas with little likely to happen for another 2 weeks/until next year and still no participation agreements or squads finalised/announced for 2021.
So what else is new?
2 weeks break and then 6 weeks before the first SRAu games.
It's no wonder we keep hearing about top players moving off-shore.
What’s your solution...,.
Is it that bad of an appointment ?The sky is falling in. Marinos appointed as RA CEO.
Is it that bad of an appointment ?
It's not my job to have a solution it's up to RA.
Just pointing out that it's a far from ideal situation which has consequences.
