      @NTA it says a lot to me, if the reporting is accurate, that he doesn't have the integrity to simply fuck off after such a terrible campaign.

      And those who brought him on board aren't joining him.

        @antipodean or that they're putting some kind of official face on it so both parties can attempt to save face... And in doing so, collectively look like the most useless shower of bastards to tread the halls of power (which, it must be said, takes some doing)

                I'm sure Eddie wants to be paid before he walks. Well done Hamish.

                  Michael Hooper is off to play in the baabaa squad against Wales next weekend. They asked him about Eddie's comments in the paper this week. Class response that I just had to tweet.

                          Did Eddie really say the senior players were no longer interested in winning? Fuck me Hooper had always seemed like someone that would put the fucking team bus on his back to get you over the line.

                                Much of it started I believe when a few of the players snuck out for a night on the piss on NH tour where they were introducing one of the player's fathers to all and sundry as Link!! Bastards!!!

                                      yes I guess I meant McKenzie seemed to act suspiciously about something beyond the Beale incident-maybe he lost enough support of players but he seemed to resign very quickly over something that did not seem (or, more accurately, was not proven) to directly concern him.

                                        what was the story, that you can share? I only heard vague rumours, was a strange end to an abbreviated era.

                                        Wikipedia sums it up fairly well

                                        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtley_Beale#textgate

                                        yes I guess I meant McKenzie seemed to act suspiciously about something beyond the Beale incident-maybe he lost enough support of players but he seemed to resign very quickly over something that did not seem (or, more accurately, was not proven) to directly concern him.

                                        Smoke = fire?
                                        Player power?

                                        I also reference the incident about midweek drinking that occurred the previous EOYT:
