The point made by Braveheart is spot on. There are multiple sides and layers to this whole story and many of the root causes go back years. Anyone that has contributed to these two threads with their opinions will be lucky to be half right. There are two basic sides in the current drama...

I wrote this last Monday and sort of repeated this a bit earlier on this thread in response to the continuing bullshit about the lack of character and leadership in the Wallaby playing group. (Note I was sort of looking at the coaching as being a two horse White Cheika race and avoiding the...

I also disagree with the assessments of player intellect and character. Get over it, they are well paid. I do not believe that their primary motivation is anything other than to win and leave their mark on the game. The very best of them will be lucky to chalk up five years at the top. They will...

Phew, finally here. Only started reading page 1 this afternoon. Looks like only Biffo and I think the history of rugby started before 2010. This is not really a Tahs conspiracy. It is just while everyone was chortling in their beers about the Waratahs three year plan between 2004 and 2008 Tahs...

Me too. The Rugby Championship has been going for months and that is how the Wallabies have preferred to present unpopular or controversial shit. Not that new a techniqiue but it has sufficed.

What happened to 100 pages by Wednesday. Not even time for a feed at lunchtime and a nap

My post was a bit ambiguous but was talking about the team pulling together. The specific ridiculous statements I was referring to (and perhaps this thread demands a higher level of delineation here) were all of the ones that have been denigrating the players en masse in respect to their...

Apologies everyone. I meant carrying the tackling bags. No offence meant

I am hearing you brother. Was happier when they closed the thread at page 59. Hope I feel the same way 10pm Saturday

You have to go and find your own info. This has gone on another 30 pages with one side humping the tackling bags. Go figure

I thought Hooper looked intent decisive and determined. My tip is that McKenzie is finished and the players, despite the ridiculous statements on this thread are going to pull it in tight. Can't wait to see what the game plan and execution is on Saturday. I am now a lot more optimistic than...

Unfortunately forced to re read TWAS post and Burke' s article. Putting both in context Burke states that the seven match streak has been considerably emphasised in analysing team's performance. He then says that to put it in context that the seven wins were against lower ranked teams (which is...

Are you really following this thread? The question was who is responsible for the current structure and job descriptions (whether written or not). I previously posted that any savings have been massively inefficient if they have contributed to the current management mishaps.

I am not sure Burke is such an idiot. Wales France Ireland and England looks a tough four week program to me. Even assuming there will be immediate improvement. Even the opening game against the Barbarians is a two edged sword. An opportunity to get some things right against a thrown together...

Love your work pfitzy. Wanker has just lot it's sting and meaning. As far as responsibility for structure and organisation I recall there was a lot of media coverage for McKenzie stepping up to take control of the whole Wallaby structure to ensure that productivity was improved and savings made...

Please release us Fatprop. There are records on this site that do not need to be broken by this thread.

In theory a positive step although the chasm between Cheika and McKenzie could make it difficult. I am 100% for Australia adopting the Waratahs game plan or similar; it probably best plays with our traditional strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand Cheika spent a year and half of solid...

My point exactly. Ex players are highly qualified to run the professional game, an intrinsic understanding that to balance spending against a daily allowance you need to find a generous benefactor

One interesting issue here now is that we are moving to a place where someone is going to have to assess whether all employee/employer relationships are the same and that an employee in the Wallaby squad is subject to the same laws and practices as your local NFP. I can't imagine the...
