What he may have meant was that Barnes' crapulence made others look less crapulent, thereby having a positive impact. Although he did just say an "immediate" impact, so maybe he just meant that they are all sinking to a common level, or indeed an immediately negative impact.Scotty said:

"The pressure on any team yet to hit their straps can be intense, and for Hickey that can lead to speculation about his future. Already there have been murmurs that Michael Cheika has been courted as a coach."

Wouldn't surprise me if Cheika only signs a one year contract deal with the Tahs from 2011, because I think he would be a fantastic replacement as a coach for Robbie Deans if he or the ARU elects that his time with the Wallabies is over.

Tom Carter inks new two-year deal with HSBC Waratahs

NSW centre Tom Carter has decided to continue his Rugby career in Sydney by committed to the HSBC Waratahs on a new two-year deal which will take him through to the end of the 2012 season.
Tom Carter takes on the Sharks defence.
Carter is one of the most experienced players at the Tahs having made his state debut as a 21-year-old against Salta on the development tour of Argentina in 2004.
The following year he also toured with the team to eastern Europe and was a member of the Sydney University premiership-winning team. He has since gone on to win five-straight premierships with the Students, including a Mirvac Man of the Match performance in last year's five-point win over Randwick.
Carter's Super Rugby ambitions stalled at times due to injury, before being selected for his tournament debut against the Hurricanes in round one of the 2008 competition. In his first Super 14 season, Carter went on to start all 15 matches at inside centre including the semi-final and final.
Since then he has never missed a match for the HSBC Waratahs and now has 32-straight appearances for the Sydney-based team. He will extend that run on Friday after again being selected at outside centre for the Tahs clash with the Lions at the Sydney Football Stadium.
Carter said that while he weighed up his options, he always leaned towards remaining with the HSBC Waratahs in a deal which could take him past 50 state caps.
"I've always been really happy here at the Tahs and when they approached me to extend my contract I was always pretty likely to stay," said Carter. "Of course you see what's out there and try to look at it without emotion to make sure you're making the best decision from a personal and a Rugby point of view, and I'm more than comfortable with the decision I've made.
"The culture and the set-up here are fantastic; you only need to look at the quality of players who have come here recently, and the number of players who are choosing to stay here to realise that.
"I think there's still a bit of unfinished business here for a lot of us who believe we're capable of winning a Super Rugby competition with the Tahs. Playing in that final in 2008 showed what we're capable of and as a playing group we're confident we can go one better."
Carter is looking to celebrate his contract renewal with back-to-back home victories this Friday against the Lions.
"We were lucky to get away with the game last week and know there's a lot of improvement in us for the match this Friday," said Carter. "It was a hard week with the travel back from Africa, but with that out of the way we feel we're ready to hit our straps."

Carter and Berrick are quality players.
But seriously, if you are having problems with crowds due to playing "unattractive" rugby they just aren't the personal you need.

im bouncing off the walls, only problem, wish the contract was through to 2020, he deserves to be a one club man and the tahs would benifit greatly from having him

I hope the Tahs players supporting the ball carrier giving ball carrier better options.
I want the pigs to drive the maul for metres and that the back then know what to do next.
I don't want to see Burgess running across the field looking for runners and finding none.
I want the backs running at gaps not defenders, and getting over the advantage line, and lots of runners in motion to get the defenders on the back foot.
I want to see better defence as well
I want the Tahs to play good, smart rugby.
