Especially Tom DecentThe journalists in Aus can get fucked.
Especially Tom Decent
Heavens forbid someone doing their job at a high levelwhy? Because he broke a news story?
No problem with that, But why did he do it 24 hours before our biggest game since the 2015 WC final and try make it the centre of attention in the press conference and the talk afterwards, when it should be on the game, selections and issues we need to addresswhy? Because he broke a news story?
Because it’s his job to draw attention that sells newspapers or clicks on a website. This drives traffic, therefore advertising dollars and therefore pays for his wages.No problem with that, But why did he do it 24 hours before our biggest game since the 2015 WC final and try make it the centre of attention in the press conference and the talk afterwards, when it should be on the game, selections and issues we need to address
It's all ego for Eddie JonesEddie’s trait https://www.ruck.co.uk/blacklisted-danny-care-reveals-why-eddie-jones-wont-pick-him-anymore/
HOOPER AND COOPER must have told Eddie that his game plan won’t work. GORDON might have reiterated his game plan concerns. All being 100% correct if this is how it rolled out. Game plan and selections in disarray.
Yes this is rock bottomAustralian Rugby is at its lowest ever
10th in world ranking in my my opinion 11th
Getting rid of Eddie is a must after the Japanese interview and if the board don’t sack him they’re a bunch of losers
This point in time is a massive opportunity to rewrite the constitution of Australian rugby and restart the game if not we are at the cusp off being a tier 2 rugby nation
It’s not alarmist but fact
Lol we lost to Italy and watching England vs Samoa no way in the world we would beat SamoaYes this is rock bottom
No we shouldn't be lower than we are, still much better than Italy, Samoa, Japan etc., remembering we were without Tupou, AAA, Skelton, Ikitau, Rodda etc.
Eddie is most likely staying - Rugby Australia don't have the $ to pay him out for the next 4 years
Also if we played Italy or Japanese at the moment we would not winLol we lost to Italy and watching England vs Samoa no way in the world we would beat Samoa
We all need to accept that we are Tier 2 at this moment
For Eddie call the lawyers inYes this is rock bottom

Yes I’d agree there is a gameplan however it has not workedYes, you're correct with most of that
I'd push back on the "no game plan" though. They had a plan, it was either executed horribly (see Fiji game) or completely ill advised (Wales game). With more time in the saddle I certainly believe they can win with it
You seem intent on believing Eddie is the worst coach in the history of Rugby
Keep it to the match thread...2nd half so far. I’m off to meet my grandson.
Gordon and Marky’s confusion both to be blamed; Gordon is not the problem but is pulled. Fix your game plan Eddie;
Fines spreading the ball looking good getting it wider;
Kicking after 2/3 plays is shit. Only going dead;
2nd half looking better because Fiji errors. Poor game plan with playing off 9 (White) and kicking after 2/3 phases. Missing Topou and Skelton.

Can't they give him warnings for incompetent performance? Surely this would justify one if so.I am no corporate high flyer by any means but I'm pretty sure if a board sacked an employee for interviewing with another company, whether its a competitor or not, they would leave themselves open for litigation unless it is a major breach of contract. Rugby Australia can't afford to sack and pay out 4 years of Eddie's contract and hopefully will be gun shy after the Issy Folau debacle of a couple of years ago!
