Re the Larkham 'sacking'...
It’s laughable - by any standard more a satiric charade than serious, insightful decision-making.
4 years together and just now MC and SL work out that their attacking philosophies are ‘incompatible’ - they’re obviously very slow communicators.
Larkham was the ‘anointed successor’ only a year ago (btw this was in and of itself ridiculous and a poor reflection on RA and MC), FFS. How in just one recent year from four together do we credibly go from that to this?
Then of course in the ‘financially distressed’ RA a major face-saving role is still found for him - perhaps the Brumbies mafia rumours of so many years are real.
Grey, the new forwards coach and Byrne have even more to answer for if you look at the chronic non-improvements and degradations in their areas - yet they remain totally untouched, we have no idea why on objective grounds.
Cheika of course remains the man for the job despite a terrible, sustained w-l ratio and further clear declines in Wallaby results in the year just gone and the humiliating loss of two sequential 3 Test home series to England and Ireland.
Yet RA sees absolutely no need to explain to the rugby public why Cheika remains re-appointed as HC
I’m still awaiting one genuinely insightful statement from Castle and/or a single policy initiative that confirms she knows what she’s doing in any important respect - one year on.
And note what Commissioner Hayne has to say about the culture and deep arrogance at the NAB so recently headed up by C Clyne? Utterly condemning and searing re even the most senior officers. Anything relevant to Clyne's leadership formulae at RA?
