Ok, I don't know who said or did what, don't really care. Seems to be a bit of childishness going on, but thats about only thing I have picked up out of whole thing except for a couple of points!
1 It appears the senior playing group are not in harmony with team management or ARU about what should or did happen! Problem
2 Everybody is waiting for hearing etc etc to see what happens, I say bullshit it should of been sorted straight away (did Hansen wait for hearing to tell Cruden he was off tour for being late to gathering place or whatever before they went on tour? Also note senior playing group either agreed thats what should happen or shut the fuck up!!)!! Adds weight to Mitchells assertion that Aussie players are not prepared to just play and want to have too much say in running game! So another problem.
So seems a big problem that is being dragged on too long and hurting the game in this country, and by geez the game doesn't need to make it harder for itself than it already is!
Dan I'm not sure the Cruden and Beale incidents are comparable. Cruden went on a bender. This only affected him. Beale's actions as has the ARU have announced have directly affected another person in the team environment. He was stood down and it is prudent that an investigation occur.
It is a serious issue and one that under WHS laws needs due process and that takes time.
