I realise we are getting close to 50 pages. Page 59 was when the last thread initially was shut down and I think we are starting to drift back into previously charted territories. There are sunken ships on my map. And a moderator with a knife .....

I agree absolutely that doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is insanity. Hiring White as per Joe Mac's article is merely one of many options. Personally I think the national coach must spend far too much time dreaming up different tactics and strategies. With fuck all...

Ulrich, I think you and IS are in loud agreement on this one. The impression I got from your post was that you maintained respect for the teachers that held you to a higher standard and I presume that this is because they also maintained their standards. IS was pondering what would happen...

Then perhaps we need to go the whole hog. The national selection panel comprises the five super 15 coaches. The current system is not working gents. The definition of insanity .......

Why does everyone have to keep threatening to walk the plank or move to Tasmania over Beale. Surely people cannot be questioning the process here. It may have been late, mismanaged and poorly communicated but it does look to be thorough. Much as I would hate to see Beale go, surely this will...

We are all human beings and tribalism goes with our territories. Apparently even IS harbours suspicions about what goes on south of Bronte Road. And well he should! The ARU's mission (which could be argued they did not accept) is to manage the competing interests to the common good. Again we...

Yes that is how I often describe myself as I work my through a second bottle

Link's game plan. I watched the game and recognised it from previous games this season, although not Wallaby ones. I just failed completely to understand Link's explanation of the game plan although it was pretty clear we were doing well sticking to it until for some reason the team fucked it up...

Good idea. I am sure Phil wont mind coming in and setting the next guy up for success.

Sadly Nostradamus has missed his moment. The change in Wallaby Coach referred to happened in 2013

I can press Like when I see something insightful or witty. What I sometimes need to do is be able to press one which says Crap e.g. it will show up as Muglair (and hopefully others) thinks this is Crap. Might save a lot of repetition.

We need a new button here Mods

I am wondering whether it is time for me to go to bed. On one hand I have suddenly found common ground with TWAS on these threads! On the other hand I cannot see a good nights sleep ahead with the image of pfitzy's balls being stir fried. Tough being a pundit ....

I think Foley is a proven forwards and assistant coach. Personally think one of Deans' mistakes was getting rid of him for a forwards coach who did not seem to have the same focus on the set piece. Clearly failed as Head Coach at Waratahs but it was a difficult step maybe? I remember a story...

Australia has to cut its cloth a bit differently both because of money and depth. I cannot see why it is absolutely essential that super rugby coaches play no part in the Wallaby setup. Just as I do not understand why Wallaby assistant coaches are not in the top echelon of Australian coaches...

BR as I said I am sure there are a whole number of good reasons for Pulver to come out and magically attempt to reduce all of this mess into a single player/single incident. It has not come off and like QH we can all wait and see what the outcome is. I have expressed my opinion, he has...

I like the idea of cheika/foley/ larkham There is no discernible succession plan for coaches anyway. The one thing we should be learning from NZ is that there needs to be significantly more coordination of the 5 provincial teams. The science behind having five different philosophies escapes me...

Sorry about my volume of words this morning, I just gave up too much of a start to you guys. Must go and do some work. here is Spiro's latest contribution which covers a lot of key issues I think. From my standpoint anyway :) SPIRO: Anatomy of the ARU-Beale crisis 2: Michael Cheika next...

To my point Tragic. It is highly unlikely that anyone in this thread has any idea what any senior players have said to Beale in person about his texts. Someone has speculated that the only reason Beale started sending apologetic texts was because other players had pointed out to him the error of...

Correction Richo, fast bearing down on 150 pages
