Tony Fisher has been the Commercial Manager of New South Wales Juniors since 2017. Prior to that he was NSWJRU President in 2016 and Commercial Manager from 2013 to 2015 alongside being the VP SJRU in 2012 & 2014-15.
Tony has been involved in Junior Rugby for many years and during that time he has been President (2012 to 2016) and Vice President -Development (2011) of Sydney Junior Rugby Union and President (2007 to 2009),Vice President (2006), Treasurer (2004 to 2005) and Referees Coordinator (2010to 2011) of Wahroonga Rugby Club. He has also managed various Wahroonga Rugby club teams and Gordon Junior representative teams.
Other current roles that Tony has in Community Sport include as Member of the Metropolitan Advisory Council of NSW Waratahs Rugby (since2019), Council Member of the University of Sydney Sport Foundation (since2020), Life Member of Sydney Junior Rugby Union (since 2016) and Life Member of Wahroonga Rugby Club (since 2009). As an active referee Tony is a member of NSW Rugby Referees, Central Coast Referees and Sydney North Referees.
Tony has spent a huge amount of time trying to improve the junior rugby landscape. Amongst his highlights would be the role he has played in committee and constitutional reform across SJRU and NSW Juniors. Both organizations benefited from his guidance and financial acumen. He was a big part in relationship building – greatly assisting the various affiliate bodies to find a way to work together. Perhaps his ability to turn around an argument to look at it from another angle might be his greatest strength, “but if I turn your argument around”.
There are too many positive things we can say about Tony in such a short nomination. His guidance and calming influence has helped many outside of the roles that he actually filled himself.
