This is what is wrong with Australian Rugby. We need to drive positivity and enthusiasm amongst forum users. A circling of the wagons, a call to arms. An end to the negativity.

I hope they don’t delete any key Jones content.

Interesting. I figured the content would be used somehow, but my money was on it being included as part of the 2028 documentary about us winning the RWC and Schmidt’s rise to power.

Will make for interesting viewing. How much control do you think RA have over the say “editorial direction?” Reckon it’s in their interest to tee off on Eddie given the new regime in charge at RA?

I'm thinking there is something in this. A behind the scenes look at a dull preparation leading to a pool stages exit isn't going to attract much viewing. The angle will probably either be Eddie crazies or the challenges the squad had to endure. Or both.

I doubt it’s going to be the horror show and shitting on Eddie festival that many fans probably want to see.
At the end of the day even though Hammer and Eddie are gone, the whole period reflects poorly on RA so I doubt they’d want it framed to highlight their incompetence.
In saying that, the whole RWC23 situation and flow on seems to have been the catalyst for significant change which really should have come 10 years ago. I wonder how they’re going to navigate through the whole ‘our professional players simply aren’t good enough to win world cups’ kinda thing.

If it’s just three episodes of Eddie crazies, it’ll leave more people saying ‘why the fuck do I want to support this code, they put this guy in charge’.
I’m genuinely curious to see how it’ll go and what the angle is, because as of right now there isn’t some feel good story on the other side.

I'm hoping the focus is more on the players and how they handled the turmoil, ideally setting it up to follow them for a few more seasons with a hopefully more positive result. It doesn't have to shy away from the Eddie drama or ignore what went on there, but he also doesn't need to be the center of the universe, we've had more than enough of that already.
