    Morgan Turinui - breaker-upper of fights betwixt coach and CEO - wrote an article on The Next Coach

    https://www.therugbyruckus.com/2019/10/23/the-who-and-how-of-the-next-wallabies-coach/

    It is an interesting read from a guy who I'd like to see in the coaching ranks ongoing.

    EDIT: keeping in mind Morgs is a Randwick guy and reasonably close with Cheika, I think the thing I appreciate is he's fairly neutral about the outcome.

    I agree, wholeheartedly. I'm never surprised when an ex-sportsperson holds a high-paying corporate executive role - it's one of the benefits of having been a high-level sportsperson (along with all that poontang, obviously).

    Well it’s hard to begrudge Kearns one of he two then Isn’t it?

    Here’s an open letter from Krusty to Aussie rugby fans

    Thomas Hines  /  Jan 2, 2020  /  Rugby

    'My farewell to players and fans' by Michael Cheika | Year in Review

    'My farewell to players and fans' by Michael Cheika | Year in Review

    Michael Cheika signs off as coach, revealing an emotional bond with two Wallabies who lost their fathers, and the team's battle with 'friendly fire'. And he thanks the 'amazing' fans who have been more passionate than ever before despite Australian rugby's many problems.

    You have to marvel at the level of denial and cuntitude that makes Krusty put results in quotation marks.

    We were not good enough to come away with victory and we are all judged by ‘results’ but as we’ve said to each other before inside our dressing room – your worthiness comes from believing in yourself implicitly first, then results will come from that. I have been honoured and proud to serve you all.

    What kind of bullshit is going here? How is it that Castle thinks it's a good idea to not only undermine her coach by inviting players to a gala dinner, without his knowledge, behind is back but then also blame the entire WC failure on someone her employer is currently locked in a legal stoush with??

    Izzy's lawyers will be loving this shit. He wasn't there but is being blamed for the failure...

    Click bait title "That's never helpful. Of course, it's not." Not helpful is hardly 'blames'. And she 100% has the right to get her employees to fulfil their duties when the 'team leader' is unable to.

    @Machpants it is to an extent "click bait" but its does not remove the fact that she makes mention of him and it's effect on the team. Thats not what you say when this type of legal situation is playing out. you simply don't comment.

    If I remember correctly the ARFU ditched Folau thus their CEOs proffered cause of their early exit was entirely of their own making.

    Certainly wouldn't have had God on their side.

    That article is pretty ridiculous.

    She was clearly asked in an interview if the Folau saga had an effect on the team. And her answer was correct - it certainly wasn't helpful!

    But that is a long, long way from blaming him for their demise.

    That was my take too.

    In much the same vein the original headline was Phil Waugh UNLOADS on Cheika, except he really just answers a question

    Nov 6 (Reuters) - Rugby Australia (RA) said on Wednesday it has appointed a panel to review the Wallabies 2019 season, which saw coach Michael Cheika stand down after their World Cup quarter-final defeat to England.

    The panel will consist of former Australia internationals Pat Howard and Nathan Sharpe, and four-time Olympian Bo Hanson, and will work with RA Director of Rugby Scott Johnson to deliver the review over the next month. It had been tasked with reviewing the entire Wallabies program and World Cup campaign and delivering feedback that will be used for the 2020 international season and future Rugby World Cup and Olympic Games campaigns, RA said.

    Pat Howard eh?

    @Bovidae The same Pat Howard that oversaw Australian cricket's low ebb? The same one Warney called a muppet?

    Why he seems a perfect announcement from RA.
