Rumour: Deans could be gone

[Sandpit Fan]

I'm not totally convinced that Link Is the man for the job if the Dingo goes.

And he may not be. However, if you're not convinced, who would you favour? Nuci? Chris Hickey?

 

[qwerty51]

Well I'll just say it, I don't think he should until TRC is finished. Let's not forget our record against the Saffers under Deans, it's very good.

 

[Paradox]

Nuci hasn't been a successful coach IMO. It's time for Link.

Deans talked enough shite.

Graham Henry looking for work?

Nope, in a position with Auckland.

Part of me wants to stay up all night, endless refreshing the internet... But I know we're not going to learn anything for sure until tomorrow.

Maybe you just need to set your alarm for a 2am tweet from Quade.

That would mean getting a Twitter account. Not even the potentially impending end to the Robbie Deans Era will get me on Twitter.

You're hopeful, Richo. As a Waratahs supporter you should expect that "we're not going to learn anything for sure until" next year.

He would never coach against NZ, and for mine, we need to have one of our own coaching.

Simon Poidevin two days ago:

Poidevin believed Deans deserved the right to see out his deal, with the only exception being if the man himself decided he'd run out of answers.

"Well you wouldn't make a change now, why would you make a change
now, it's ridiculous," Poidevin told AAP.

"Robbie Deans is a very honest person and if he thinks he can't do the job he'll step aside.

Yeah, I know, was just taking the piss a little

Richo: Yes. It would so surely be a moment of great joy throughout the land. Like the end of WWII perhaps, or man landing on the moon, or such like.

As a Waratahs supporter, I also rely on self-delusion to make it through each day. Let alone each season.

Unfortunately, most of the land couldn't give a rats about the Wallaby coach.

I think that there are five possible/likely candidates with enough gravitas to be considered:

1. Link: Would be the favourite but given his competence and straight talking he won't get JON's vote. Still possible.
2. Nucifora: Incompetent coach but very good politician when dealing with those above him. Bookies favourite?
3. White: Suffers from being non-Australian, otherwise has the credentials in spades.
4. Totality Tony: Impressed the Board, despite his press interviews.
5. Cheika: Probably needs to have two good years at the Tahs and then take over from the incumbent. NH credentials OK but needs to prove himself at home.

Jeez, I hope I am not getting ahead of myself.

Does Derryn Hinch know anything about rugby? At least he would give comprehensible pressers.

For those who missed it or don't have Fox, here is the clip WJ mentioned in another thread - it's from the BackPage and Marto raises a heap of issues going on with the Wallabies.

I'm not sure that I get your drift Hawko. Do you mean that as a negative or are you intimating that that would provide us with continuity?
