That name is peak trolling by Eddie.It appears Eddie has been back in the podcast studio, not sure if I can bear to listen to it though:

He did a pretty good job of uniting Australian rugby fans against him.

You must be a Randwick supporter (with all due respect).
Nah. Reds supporter (burnt me twice). Not having access to our 2 best THP props deffs had an impact at the world cup. Would have at least got out of our pool. I also supported his decision to not select Hooper and Quade.

True...
It was also Hamish's fault for hiring him in the first place... and then everything after that was Eddie's fault.

Just because you support it doesn't mean others can't critique it...
The one thing Eddie absolutely had full control over during his tenure were his words, actions, and behaviour - and he was an absolute fluffybunny.

Yeh - I'll give it to Eddie that the team wasn't up to scratch. But the way he carried on both behind the scenes and with the media was proper fucked up.
My tinfoil hat theory is he decided to lace all the players Gatorade with PEDs which is why he started mouthing off and thought they'd win the whole thing. But it turned out the PEDs weren't strong enough and we still sucked.

Yeah, I do agree with you on the way he carried on. But I think he's been fine on podcasts and in articles of late. People are allowed to critique him and hold a grudge but I personally don't wanna keep dragging it up.

A few of his recent interviews and clips sound a bit like he's very aware he was being fuckwit and there's a level of smoothing the waters without every acknowledging it directly.

Eddie's training during the WC was reportedly the reason why we lost Taniela and Skelton.....
Eddie also pulled together the worst collection of brains trust I've seen.
He may not have had a great squad but he sure as shit didn't give them a fighting chance. Where was the game plan? It was the most rudderless I've seen.
Yeah pretty much the same training as Rennie by the sounds of it.
I do agree with the coaches. He had Palmer doing the lineout from memory as well. Bonehead stuff. But I think it was all he could get with people resigning all the time (also his fault). But generally I didn’t mind his selections.
Anyways, it’s in the past. Happy with who we have now.

also spent millions without approval when RA had no money. RA were beyond reproach with a lack of control over his spending but sheesh Eddie..... sorry I'm done with him and his media manager trying to get him back onside with Australia. he fucked up really, really badly and no amount of carefully scripted media - with Gordon Bray stroking him on socials will make me come back.
