"Raelene Castle’s troubled three-year reign as Rugby Australia’s chief executive has come to an end after she telephoned RA chairman Paul McLean with her resignation on Thursday night.

Although she expressed her intention to fight as recently as Sunday — “You can’t let the bastards win,” she told The Australian — the unrelenting attacks wore her down and it may be that she has saved Rugby Australia from making the difficult decision to sack her."

Israel Folau is laughing all the way to the bank, as the players still on contract have lost 60% of their pay and he is still on 100% and the obese RA is on 0% and in disgrace.

Shadow Minister,
Yes, with a lot of help from stupidity ! It's time to realise Australia is a Nation, not a giant Rugby Club !

Excellent news. Natural justice following her persecution of Folau. Why RA employed such a silly female foreigner with an appalling accent to run a men's sport is inexplicable. And taxpayers won't have to contribute to her retirement fund.

Three strikes and you're out?

Raelene Castle's resignation should come as no
surprise to sports fans. She's had a very heavy
year in charge which included a costly legal
battle after the agreed - Board's decision to sack Israel
Folau, a poor World cup performance, and failure to
reach agreement on a broadcast deal.

She must be exhausted. A wise move to resign.

Foxy,

I think that it was made pretty clear that if she didn't resign she would be fired. She'd made it pretty clear that she had no intention of voluntarily walking away from the $800 000 p.a. job with the $114 000 bonus.

If she hadn't so completely cocked up handling Folau she might still be in the cushy job.

Shadow Minister,

Maybe you can give her a job as just an engineer at chez toi. After years spent working with all of those meatheads in football I'm sure she has the balls for it.
