Topic: WRU New Strategy....Posted: 12 June 2024 at 10:32am |

So much for all the noise from Abi Tierney promising " an overall strategy would be announced by June."
Did she mean June 2024 or June 2025 ? It was one of her first promises when taking on the role! Great to see the consistency from the WRU in failing to deliver against it's promises yet again
How much longer must we, the fans, sponsors, and long term sufferers of WRU incompetence continue to accept their failings? Personally I think a vote of no confidence should be levied by the supporters of all 4 regions & clubs in Wales |

The trouble there is that the community clubs are hugely reliant on the WRU core grants so I don't think that would happen.

Nigel Walker has already teed up that this strategy may not have much detail behind it and be a starting point for further discussions.

You'd think the media would be all over this, but instead, all their energy is focused on Louis Rees zammits career with the kansas city chiefs

I can put everyone out of their misery right now.
The strategy will say that we’WRU’ are doing everything right, the rest of the rugby fraternity haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about. We are overfunding the regions, who should be dominating Europe and the URC with the size of our investment and the quality of their squads. The only thing we need to more of is buying more hotels and property in Cardiff, so we are going to shut down a region to do so

6 days left in June, does anyone think the WRU will actually publish the strategy as promised?

The modern WRU needs people with integrity and ability to take on the challenges of the modern game, not yes men like Walker who just collects a very big cheque for very little contribution, and yet he might be one of the better ones.

Walker sounds like a politician , hes mastered the art of talking and saying nothing....Im always amazed how many people are impressed with such drivel.
Isnt 1 of the main problems still in welsh rugby is the fact tiny clubs have 1 vote and the regions only 2?...so the village clubs outvote the regions and get sweeteners from the wru to keep them in power. We end up with the tail wagging the dog and players earning boot money in the lowers leagues earning more than semi pro players. Hence why the talent supply is lost to the regions and remains on boot money in the lower leagues |

There is a clear gap in the skills at the top of the WRU. For all her skills Abi Tierney is not a rugby person. That is not a huge problem as long as she has a rugby man/woman riding shotgun. Walker is not in my opinion a rugby man. For sure he was quick but his administrative skills are best suited to the athletics field where he started.
I am pretty sure that someone like Alun Wyn possesses the knowledge & professional skills to make the difference but he would make most of his colleagues pretty uncomfortable I guess.

My understanding is he has a law degree. That suggests some acumen to me which sitting alongside his undoubted knowledge of the rugby environment would give him an edge on Nigel Walker. I am talking about diversity of skills to complement Abi Tierney. She needs a rugby person to advise her through the web of machinations within the WRU. I am in no way suggesting that he possesses the skills to become the WRU's legal adviser but he does seem to me to have the inside knowledge & respect required to deal with all sides of the argument.

WRU has unfortunately been a breeding ground for cronyism and jobs for the boys. We've got to move on from that and display complete transparency. If the WRU is to succeed then the structure has to be fit for purpose. |
