And there you have the latest example of the second rate talent we have running our major institutions, sporting codes and corporations in this country.

It's genuinely farcical.

It’s what happens when leadership knows it’s over... and there is no more spin left, they postpone the inevitable... Cheika’s must have had a vote of no confidence... Need to workout who takes over for the next year... Post RWC review and take applications for a new coach...

Surely the parameters for the thorough review process would have been determined, as KPI's.
You receive the data from everyone and compare it to benchmarks.
I would have thought a secondary interview could be conducted within 24hrs if KPI's were not hit to give the coach, coaching staff, players and high performance unit a chance to save their jobs.
It is not hard, it is simply determining acceptable standards, if the standards are not met then find someone who can get to this standard or at least has a plan to get their.

Here is the full statement to media
Back in his wilder, drug-taking days, Mick Jagger took it into his head to adopt a talking frog, which he named Kermit. Now, Kermit grew up to be a very enterprising, entrepreneurial young frog, and as soon as he became an adult he went to the bank to take out a business loan. He was introduced to the loan officer, Paddy Mack, who asked him what he was offering as collateral.
"This!" said Kermit, proudly pulling a tiny pink porcelain pig from his suit pocket.
"I see," said Paddy. "I'd better ask the manager about this." So we went to the manager and explained the situation to him, showed him the porcelain pig and asked him what it was.
The manager replied, "It's a knick-knack, Paddy Mack, give the frog a loan! His old man's a Rolling Stone!"
Hey, as long as we're filling these threads with bad jokes I thought I may as well throw in a Kerry O'Keeffe special.

The news reports on ABC all day were that the review report had been delivered to all Board members on Friday, and that it contained among other things comments from the players indicating problems within the camp. Maybe things are even worse than any of us has suspected over the past year or two, and maybe so bad that the Board can no longer allow it to continue despite both Clyne and the Pirate publicly supporting Cheika through to the RWC.

For the longest time I didn't think or want to believe that Cheik had lost the dressing room, but over the course of this season I've had to reconsider that view. I think he has indeed lost the players and that the search for a new interim coach should start immediately. This group, on paper, are capable of a *lot* more than they are showing in their results. When playing well they are capable of being any side in world rugby and I mean that. Something is not right.

With the rumors of Hunt joining the Tahs, it firms my thoughts we should push to change our second play maker from 12 to the 13 position. Hunt comes into the equation because it would give us 2 genuine players i believe are big enough, strong enough, agile enough and defensively sound enough to hold the spot down, while also been able to contribute to play making duties and been the link to our back 3.
Would love to see the following by seasons end.
9. Genia
10. Cooper/Foley
11. Koroibete
12. Kerevi
13. To'omua/Hunt
14. Banks/Petaia
15. Folau
21. Gordon
22. Beale
23. Hodge

To'omua at 13 is really strange stuff for mine.

There is a bit of a trend slowly happening with teams selecting their 2nd play maker at the non traditional 13 spot. Saracens have recently converted 10/12 Lozowski to a 13 with great success, Exeter the same with Slade. The Hurricanes play a version of it with Jordy Barrett

The Hurricanes played a version of it with Jordie Barrett that was undone by locks running in a straight line. We did a similar thing with Hodge and were killed by props running in a straight line.
Slade can pull it off because of his exceptional defensive positioning and decision making. Lozowski is functionally positionless at the moment, having played every backline positon (even some time as a bloody scrumhalf) for Saracens.
To'omua is a 10 who is good enough at rugby to also play 12. He is not a Jean de Villiers who is so good at 12 that he can also play 13 and a bit of 10.
