They aren't old boys. They are from the officiating arm of the game. Disregard my comments at your leisure, I was giving feeedback and will leave it at that.

Didn't want to quote the whole thing but great post Drew, well thought out.

Laugh all you like, we shall see

Whether it’s justified or not I feel that Eddies position is now untenable with the rugby public. I got some feedback from well connected Aussies in France today, the vitriol is extreme and very directed. With regards to his contract, there would have to be KPIs associated with the end of...

Am I right in thinking our mid year tests next year are against Wales and Fiji? I think I read that somewhere, ironic if true. I think we should leave all the foreigners out of the mid year tests and the RC to build up our local stocks, but bring a quota (3?) in for the EOYT. I realise you...

This is certainly not in disagreement to many of the things you say, but I have woken up today with a different view of how to 'fix things' than what I spun yesterday. I have come to the realisation that it's a complex issue with many moving parts at both the administrative and performance...

I realise that, was more just having a dig at the arrogance of his manager. That said, his week in week out gig is the Waratahs, he still has to perform there - he will no doubt get auto selected in initial Wallabies squads but still then has to get selected in the match day squad. Personally I...

Shouldn't he be looking at the performance of the Waratahs to make that determination? Need to get selected to play for the Wallabies.

"The “save rugby” plan involves a “festival” of Riverview, King’s and Joeys? Phil, that’s not a plan, that’s a Betoota Advocate headline." Oversight of the journo not to have Shore as the first school mentioned :D

This could have gone in any number of threads but I have picked this one. Now that the dust has settled, I am still very angry with how this has played out. To keep the supporters happy, and to be able to say that we gave it every chance, all Eddie needed to do was take Michael Hooper instead...

There is that glimmer of hope, unlikely but we need to put a cricket score on Portugal just in case. Fiji will have played Georgia beforehand so they will know if it’s a possibility.

Sure, that’s an entirely different matter which has been well documented. It had nothing to do with the success of the Wallabies and everything to do with the mismanagement and arrogance at the ARU which has continued to the present day.

That's the thing though, rugby was hugely popular during that period we won the 2 cups, and up to the 2003 home final because we were doing well. I was living in Sydney in the late 90s and would go to pretty much every Waratahs game and every Wallabies test and the stadiums were always packed...

I 100% agree with this and my version of 'fixing' things absolutely sees getting the Wallabies winning as the most important priority - success breeds success. Where do we start with this though?

Amazingly he has left himself completely out of this article.

Somewhat unsurprisingly Alan Jones has now launched into Eddie and McLennan in a big way. It’s hard to argue with most of what he says actually.

Happy to.

what did she do to address the grassroots issue?

I'm feeling the same right now, and have a similar group as yours of old school friends (a punters club) in a Whats App group. They all bet on horses and NRL games when it's their round, I bet on horses and a rugby game and get laughed off the park. There are a few heavy hitters in the group...
