@mariner4life Bang on.
It's one thing to fail, and nobody is suggesting he had the talent at his disposal to win the trophy.
But to take on this chippy, combative persona, drop a bunch of senior players and then deliver a steaming pile of mess on the biggest stage? Nah. No thanks.
And then he's taking interviews with Japan despite signing a long term deal.
He can fuck right off.

Is that actually confirmed?
I don’t disagree with it being a shambles. These administrative and governance issues stem back before Eddie’s appointment. They were certainly there during Rennie’s time.
The problem I see is that in the quest for “results” and the rhetoric around not being satisfied etc, there has been a failure to recognise or even acknowledge all the structural and other problems. Getting rid of Rennie the way they did was case in point.
This will hopefully be the rock bottom moment to make everyone in key positions see reality.

I have said here and elsewhere: when you reach the bottom of the barrel, RA will reach for an axe.

What a two faced fluffybunny
potentially told different stories to the ARU, Japan and the public.
So three-faced
Maybe this for the best (for Australia?)

Maybe someone else needs to leave as well?

McLennan is probably looking at a way to throw the Sydney Uni minion under the bus.
According to him it is everyone else's fault

If this article doesn't make you furious as a wallabies supporter, then the code really is dead
what a complete load of bullshit from an absolute charlatan

@nostrildamus do you think he asked to be lit like a bond villain in that photo or that just his natural look?

May 31: Evening Standard podcast
“I’m only coaching to this World Cup. I’ve signed, but as I’ve made the mistake before, I’ve stayed too long. So we win the World Cup it will be time to go. If we lose the World Cup it will be time to go.”
thats a bit messed up when he'd signed on for 5 years

i had to stop reading
when you look back at it all the more it looks like he deliberately fucked them over, revenge for getting the boot in the past?

@Windows97 said in Eddie goooone?:
And we thought the NZRU was a shambles, the ARU is a clown show on steroids.
Considering NZR copped a lot of shit when dealing with AR I wonder if they are actually a hell of a lot more competent than we think, they had to go above and beyond with those loons.
Actually scratch that I just remembered they're trying to destroy the NPC so no compliments for them.

This is some Wests Tigers level shit.
I used to have a pretty good opinion of Eddie. But this year has been an absolute disgrace. The results and standard of play have been terrible. Conceding the World Cup before he even left should have seen him sacked on the spot.
But the fights with journos asking legitimate questions was a poor look. And the remarks about Michael Hooper were actually disgusting. He's behaved deplorably, he's been a complete failure on the field. And this mythical quest to rebuild the wallabies has actually done more harm to the game here than good.
Fuck off Eddie, you are a traitor. And the guy who hired you should be crouching in front of his sword right now. Or would be, if he had any integrity.

Yeah, right about now I'm not entirely sure about my In Defense of Eddie Jones post.
Will see what else comes out in the wash though ...

McLennan comes from advertising, so he'd believe it.
