If Roberts, 47, loses his job he will join Rugby Australia and National Rugby League counterparts Raelene Castle and Todd Greenberg as casualties of the COVID-19 crisis.
Pressure has been increasing on Roberts ever since Cricket Australia decided to lay off a big number of its staff until mid-year in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Other cost cutting measures, expected in the future, have left state boards fuming as well.
