Why didn't Patston hand over her phone for review? Was it her personal phone or was it supplied by the ARU, her employer? If it was her own phone then she had every right to refuse to hand it over, but a forensic review could have supported her case. If it was the ARU's phone, why are they...

Paradox, I made no mention of Patston's job performance. I did make mention of management ineptitude, will stand by that comment and am not alone holding that opinion.

You would think Cheika, as Wallaby coach would have some influence on any top up or not for Beale. Can anyone see the ARU going against their new coach, IF he wants the top up?

Beale's text was stupid and offensive. He didn't however employ Patston, or lose the dressing room, or deal with a broad range of management issues with complete ineptitude.

Good point Muglair. Some critics of Wilson need to be careful of crossing the defamation line too. News Ltd have deep pockets.

Ummmm...yep.

Appreciate you laying your facts out relating to Beale. Also note the fact that I made no mention of, or reference to Beale, in the post you replied to.

Yes still valid.

Oops you've changed the argument on me. Please just hold your thoughts, and review in good time to see how far off the mark you are with your original position I commented on, not this new thought you threw in late.

Based on so many posters calling out individual journalists and media groups as having secret agenda's, accusing them of making stuff up, taking sides etc. Others ridiculed the articles written, and point of view or position taken simply because the journalists were from rugby league, or were...

How many posters will now acknowledge that the journo's got a lot more of this whole sorry saga right than wrong? Certainly, a lot more right than many posters did too. Journo's and their publishers don't like being sued, and if they hadn't brought the majority of this to the public's attention...

Bingo.

You have every right to remember it however you wish, but this recollection will prove to be fantasy.

Is that your way of bringing crowds back to rugby?

IS, there is zero evidence that any Wallaby or anybody sent the 2nd text at this time. The truth will come out in time, but look outside the current Wallaby tent.

Their resignations and subsequent non appearance at this or any other potential enquiry were for good reason.

Fitzy, they have very different body shapes. Gray is built like a tank, and Holloway is less solid but still developing.

How do you know that Cheika was very quiet on the matter? Beale's Wallaby Coach and Patston are said to have both known about it in the June timeframe, left it unreported and moved on and it's an ARU issue. It may have been his player from the Tahs involved but it was an ARU balls up. What do...

It wasn't Cheika who left him out.

Stay with that thought ILTW. In the old days of shamateurs, event organisers used to leave the cash for their star's appearance in the athlete's boots. A famous English decathlete was renowned for collecting his money this way.
