These c**ts better have some plans, they've destroyed what we had, I suppose Kearns will apply for the role once aqain, I wonder if he has any idea what to do apart from re-sign with Fox?
As I've said before, where is the plan? Who is going to implement it? Do these people really have any idea at all what they are doing, or is it just a combination of ego and doing Rupert's bidding?

 

[I like to watch]

now what?

worldwide search of Phil Kearns garage?

 

[Micheal]

I wonder if Dave Rennie will stand down now.

Imagine that. The old boys network first move might be the loss of the most promising coaching setup the Wallabies have had in 20 years.

Oh well. We can always just get one of the boys to do it. Which one? Doesn't matter. Turns out they're all qualified for absolutely fucking everything by virtue of being intelligent enough to professionally suffer head trauma.

Besides, there were always going to be some casualties when making Rugby Great Again. Drain the swamp!!1

 

[TSR]

When I visit my parents I sometimes share the ferry with Phil Kearns.

Next time I see him I'm gonna kick him flush in the nuts.

If he becomes CEO, I'm pushing him in the water.

Fuck that bobble-headed poster-child for pointless existence.

You must be due to visit your parents soon. I’m happy to buy the ticket.

 

[Derpus]

Thatll be Rennie gone too. Jesus christ. Some moronic oart of me had sone vague hope of some half decent rugby at the start of the year. Jokes on us eh.

 

[louie]

now what?

Depends, if the board do the smart thing they'll recruit like they did last time and get someone worthy of the job. If they can find a like for like replacement not a lot will change. They have plan and will stick to it, seeing as it never got a chance to play out.

If they get one of boys (Kearns):
Rugby will resign will fox for half, maybe less, of the current deal and Rugby will regress into further $ distress, all youth pathways will be cut, female side of the game gone and NRC gone.

Dave Rennie will most likely walk, continuing the embarrassment that is Rugby Australia in the media.

I can understand Castle deciding it wasn't worth it, but Kearns is clearly not an upgrade

The Canterbury- Bankstown Bulldogs would beg to differ!

Anyhow do you think she will be in the mix for NRL CEO’s gig or another sporting gig?

 

[Aurelius]

Well, some of Raelene's greatest hits are:

- Sacking Israel Folau for non-rugby related reasons and having to pay him a seven-figure settlement as a result;
- Telling Foxtel to walk after they offered the same money for less content, leaving rugby the only major sport without a broadcast partner;
- Not presenting any audited financial statements, leaving stakeholders to speculate as to the true financial position of Australian rugby; and
- Oh, yeah - presiding over the worst run of Wallabies results in recent history.

Add to that she apparently only got the job because a) Cameron Clyne knew her, and b) they needed a woman on the board to make up the numbers, and I'd say her departure is well due.

Of course there's no guarantee that whoever replaces her will be better, but at the very least they've got to go through a better process than the one that appointed her.

You're an idiot.

The state unions were consulted in the recruitment process for her role and she was the unanimous pick of the states because of her own merit.

Let me be clear: your inability to grasp facts - across all of your statements - shows that this isn't a case of you not knowing enough to have a valid opinion on this matter.

Instead it shows that your logic faculties are broken. You are stupid, and that is a burden that you will have to carry in all aspects of your life for the entirety of your life.

Please go away and be stupid elsewhere. Thank you.

Stopped reading after this because it's factually incorrect and you are clearly retarded.

 

[A mutterer]

well, the captains have got their wish. disappointing really - doubt they thought through the ramifications of probably losing rennie and what this will likely entail.

i think a lot of other potential coaches will increasingly view the wallaby coach position with a great deal of reservations about the size and potency of the poison in the chalice.

 

[Scooter]

Very disappointing news.

Bullshit mate. Utter bullshit.

 

[Dctarget]

Complete fuck buckets. Dark day in Aus Rugby.

I hope this doesn’t jeopardise Castle’s achievements:
- Rennie
- Getting RWC27

 

[stoff]

Just to be pedantic, this season is former contestants who have been slugging it out since they were last on the show....

And to be fair, most of the contestants on that show do go on to work in the industry, some of whom have worked in the top restaurants in the world.

I don't watch it. Ironically I just stand in the kitchen and cook the dinner.

 

[Aurelius]

Yeah, there's a reason I haven't been posting much on this thread lately. Within a few minutes of criticizing Castle, and I'm a retarded idiot who's talking bullshit.

And of course, any printed criticism is obviously Newscorp propaganda and is probably motivated by sexism too.

Or maybe - just maybe - ten distinguished former Wallaby captains and a host of experienced sports journalists have a point and everyone who's been singing Castle's praises for years on here has been under a certain level of denial.

Just a thought.

That smacks of typical leftie wankery if you dont agree with some one you insult them. Really, is that the best you can do?Who is the real fool, matey?

 

[Rebelsfan]

Bullshit mate. Utter bullshit.

ahh no, its all true matey
where's the financials?
where's the broadcast deal?
where's Israel?
