Waratahs 2013

[Bruce Ross]

I actually have no issue with a bit of silence over at Moore Park, they should just ban anyone talking to grumbles or do what the Eels just did.

They worked out who was passing on all the negative stuff, fed him a false story. It was passed on and they then sacked the guy

The Waratahs have got into the extraordinary mess they're in largely because incompetence remained hidden within a cone of silence. Growden is a rumour monger who is used by various people to push their agendas, but in the present situation he has been able to shine light on things that go to the heart of why the Waratahs are so comprehensively under-performing.

Corruption and incompetence flourish in the dark.

I think what fp is suggesting is that some serious reflection is needed, not more media games and talk.

True dat, but clowns airing their agendas via tame journos doesn't help anything.

I was always a fan of robust argument, a decision made and everyone works towards that decision

So, to me, Kearn's statements are unacceptable (he is on the "rugby" comitee) he should shut the f*ck up in public about who he favours and just get it done

 

[Richo]

Yeah, the problem with the public chatter from within the Tahs is that it's actually obscuring things and pushing agendas, not aiding a clear airing of the issues.

As for Kearns, don't you have to be on the board to be on the rugby committee?

 

[I like to watch]

My understanding is that he has been appointed as an adviser or a consultant to the Rugby committee.

 

[fatprop]

I may have it wrong, he is on a "rugby advisory committee"

Is it the same one? dunno

Him and Kafe were called in as consultants and had two meetings, the last in late June. He isn't employed by the Tahs. His agenda is his opinion which as an employee of foxtel he is payed to give.

thanks

 

[Bruce Ross]

I blame Kafe.

Has anyone given any thought to the possibility that all of the stuff ups at Driver Avenue could be due to some idiot inviting Kafe inside the tent where he has played an agent provocateur role by making the most absurd suggestions which our local geniuses took at face value?

Talk about a fox in the hen coop!

[waratahjesus]

The problem with Kafe giving consulting is he brings his chalkboard along, tells them where they have been going wrong then when he is asked what they should do....

 

[Iluvmyfooty]

I was just lookingf at the Reds 2013 forum and they are talking EPS possibilities. Anyone want to throw up any possible names for the NSW EPS

Alcock apparently granted a release as well. Expected to sign with the force.

McCutcheon and Jono Jenkins would be pretty happy with this. Me, I'm not sure giving away Alcock is a top idea.

Those Force guys really like to corner the market on backrowers.

 

[qwerty51]

It's probably for the best with Hooper and Cutch on the books. Really like Alcock though.

I thought Jenkins was moving on. Never mind. Will be sorry to see Alcock go but I am happy Tahs have Hooper. And when will Tahs release one of their halfbacks?

 

[Inside Shoulder]

I have him ahead of mccutcheon.
Is mccutcheon completely over his horrific leg injury? Is this a matter that,would even occur to the tahs?
If they have no coach who is deciding which players should be released? How do they know what the new coach (whoever he or she may be) thinks of this 3 way contest?

Alcock's missed tackle on Shipperley, after Carter's brain-snap advice to McKibbin, against the Reds in round 1 were HUGE black marks for mine. Big enough to have their cards marked.

Are you saying that a player can be significantly marked down for missing ONE tackle?


Alcock has been bloody good this year. He will be a big loss, and the Force have made a very good acquisition.
