Clearly you have never been at one of the Amigos' FIFA tournament pajama parties.

I was nearly feeling sorry for poor JOC (James O'Connor). Fuck them, he and Beale need an extended stint on the sideline while fit and ready. Let's see how much they really want it.
Sort of unfortunate then that for a new coach to work the slate should be wiped clean. Whether Cooper should have spoken up or not, is anyone still doubting the validity of the toxic comments?

ARU are partly to blame as well, this bloke who I have never been a fan of has been involved with the ARU since he was 16. If they did there job of the field as well by looking after these bloke and getting Some kind of old wallabies mentor, (cooper and Horan) he and maybe Beale would have turned out with far better attitudes towards the wallabies and the game.
I believe Deans and the ARU have lost control of the wallabies, and we need something like the Egyptian army breaking down the doors and cleaning out the board.

It's him and bloody mates that caused the toxicity.

How, cooper wasn't even on this tours and they still fuck up.

Yeah, I really don't think it's fair to group QC (Quade Cooper) in with JOC (James O'Connor) and KB (Kurtley Beale) anymore. They may be pals but QC (Quade Cooper) is seemingly streets ahead in maturity at this point.
How do you think the beer-dumped-on-head incident would have likely ended if it was KB (Kurtley Beale) or JOC (James O'Connor) getting soaked in XXXX?
JOC (James O'Connor) isn't a test 10 anyway, more like test winger for sale! Hopefully he finds a home and gets settled into 14, where he should have stayed. I'd say he's probably the most talented back in Australia (if not the entire world) from his generation but much like his play at 10 the mental/cognitive end of things needs to be fixed badly.

So the QC (Quade Cooper) factor has been removed from JOC (James O'Connor) and KB (Kurtley Beale) all year yet those two are still getting drunk, punching their captain, staying out on a bender only days before a test match, drinking during rehab...
What's Quade done this year, had a beer poured on his head and left without altercation....
They are as bad as each other, JOC (James O'Connor) is an enabler so it seems

Latest article on him was a good read and mentionsed he was snuggled up with SBW at his house watching the Melbourne game. Not those exact words but they are very close mates more so than Beale and Jock

Been very impressed with QC (Quade Cooper) lately but it's rich that he made those comments last year when he and his mates were the cause. That's what put a number of the Wallabies noses out of joint at the time.
Anyway I shouldn't bring this back to QC (Quade Cooper). That thread has been done to death. Lets hope we can get a new coach and the team start performing

That is a not credible point.
They are not passing on a guy they think can only play 10.
They are passing on a player demanding a huge salary, that comes with baggage.
See the difference?
Yeah, I agree, I tend to think the Rebels made a business decision. JOC (James O'Connor) is on huge money and hasn't delivered enough through injury and then subsequent form, so value for money to me is the issue.
The reality is that if he was cheaper he would have been resigned, it ain't like the Rebels have a plethora of quality backs,

just thinking out loud, if JOC (James O'Connor) did go to the Tahs do you think they could schedule regular prefessional development meetings between JOC (James O'Connor) and Chieka? You'd hold them on a monday evening and sell tickets. Maybe even get Fox to pick up the broadcast rights. I see new income streams in this

Yes, thank you for being so kind as to point out why the Rebels have given up on JOC (James O'Connor). I'm way too stupid to work it out myself.
Maybe you could try reading between the lines yourself instead of being so condescending.

My understanding is that the Tahs are the most likely (might already have been a deal done).

For what it's worth a colleague of mine was staying at the Intercontinental where the Wallabies were also staying for the second test match and JOC (James O'Connor) arrived home back 1am Saturday morning. That being said, when you kick off 8pm the following evening, 1am isn't exactly a late night.

Interesting. Prepared to speculate early on which position he will be given a crack at in their backline?
