League Notes: Australian Rugby Union May Be Seeking New CEO Amid Beale Scandal

10.28.2014

Speculation "was rife" Tuesday that the Australian Rugby Union "is headhunting for a new chief executive as the fallout from the Kurtley Beale texting scandal looks set to claim its highest profile victim yet, Bill Pulver." The scandal "already has claimed four innocent victims." Pulver "seemingly will be the next to go, his position undermined by his failure to bring the Beale scandal," which first broke on Oct. 1, to a speedy conclusion (THE AUSTRALIAN, 10/28). ... The Rugby Football League confirmed that it is making an investment in its match officials department. The investment will include a recruitment drive across all levels of the game and the implementation of development structures and pathways designed to enhance the performance of current match officials (RFL).
