Wallabies 2019 Thread

Did anybody wish for Graham? Not me.

I made a comment on someone saying 'any other Australian then a Kiwi or Chekia' and I said careful what you wish for you could do much worse like 'Dick Graham' or anyone who has completely failed at super level as a coach.

 

[Tomikin]

Could we see a Johnson/Fisher combo parachuted in?

Think Fisher has decided that he likes being the assistant at the Brumbies, I could be wrong, but from what Ive heard he really didn't like head coaching, and really enjoys Canberra and the gig his got.

Yes but we know that's never going to happen.

A kiwi is the wrong option.

That's just racism, frankly.

All of Ireland, Scotland and Wales are near the best they've ever been and they are (or were until recently) all Kiwi coached. The Kiwis have the best coaching pathways in the world.

Kiwi coaches are, hands down, the best available.

Who is the Australian coach who is ready for the job?

 

[fatprop]

We have the best available Aus coach at the moment, with the best resume around (Eddie is the only one close but he was sacked as well), once he is sacked/contract not renewed he will go off and do wonders with some professional club again if he chooses

We have to look overseas if he is deemed not up to it, the cupboard is bare

You must be having a laugh.

NZ rugby is not Australian rugby.

Foreign coaches do not work for us.

Take your pick. It would be very hard to be worse than Cheika. We are already losing almost all test matches ; the outcome is at a minimum the same.

Why?

Why should they work for every other country and club in the world and not us?

Rubbish.........

OK, so whom?

 

[Highlander35]

Apart from Deans (who off the top of my head still has the best record of any Professional era coach bar McQueen) what non-Aussies have coached the Wallabies?

 

[Eyes and Ears]

Why not just say "the 2nd best record"?

 

[Finsbury Girl]

Club level is not relevant.

At state and national level it has been tried and it doesn't work.

Suggest who you think the next coach should be then or name a couple of candidates.

 

[Finsbury Girl]

Well there already a couple on the previous page, but I would suggest Nucifora should be near the top of the list.

What’s state level?

Super Rugby - Jake White...........

Regardless, it’s a silly position to take when it’s an international game.

Where they’re from is irrelevant.

 

[dru]

I know it's not the same, but Gilmore seems to be doing well with the Junior Wallabies.

 

[Braveheart81]

He hasn't been the head coach of a team since the Australian Under 20s which did not go well.

On what basis should he be near the top of the list? That he's done an entirely different job really well in Ireland?

 

[Strewthcobber]

McKenzie is a Victorian which is pretty much a foreigner in Australian Rugby!



(And look what happened to him.......)

Wessells, Mitchell, Gibson and Dingo

1 out of 5 would suggest you are wrong

1. Because he's a good coach
2. He's not a kiwi
3. He's from QLD
