Except Beale he can go fuck himself. No respect for him. None and it's hard to support the coach when he doesn't care about the fans. Honestly it's a tough sell to keep both jobs for none Tahs fans. I know he won't mean to be bias but I can't think of any other coach who'd of brought him over. So as they call it.. 'A job for the boys' he definitely wouldn't have done it if say Beale played for the Reds last year.

As would I. I am only a half gutted Flathead still laying on the filleting board,and fully descaled - but I will recover.
Whilst criticism can be levelled at multiple persons I still support anything in green & gold, from Netball, Swimming, League, and even friggin' Soccer

I will support my team unless they display values and behaviours not consistent with my ethics. To do otherwise is not being honest to myself. I have always been hypercritical of the All Blacks and the NZRU for continuing to select players like Richard Low and the adulation for Colin Meads. They were on field thugs and low lifes regardless of what they were like off field. I will not be a hypocrite and not require the same from the Wallabies with regard to off field behaviour.
As I've said before, Rugby is struggling in Australia, compromising standards is not a way to improvement.

Good stuff from Cheika. Not being dictated to by petty provincial grievances or the whims of fans

But it's alright, Phipps told us we'd get over it eventually. Someone that arrogant can't be wrong.

This is only on the cards because management is weak.
It's a no brainier.
Cheika says to Bill that he wants to bring KB (Kurtley Beale) over for the last 2 games.
Bill says,fuck off you named your squad,stick to it.
Simple.
For all his faults,no way would JON have allowed someone he wanted sacked in October,be added to a tour in November where there was no massive injury crisis.
Consensus management is fine up to a point,but leaders have to lead.

I don't have any ties to any other nation (OK a touch of Germany and I have English roots 7 generations back - but I'm not going to support the soap dodgers!)..so I either support the Wallabies or I toss the sport all together..
If politics etc got too much in the way at the Tahs I could go support the Brumbies, or similarly at Easts I could go and support Randwick, etc, etc..at the moment I have more respect for the All Blacks than I do the Wallabies, but that doesn't mean they lose my support..

I would prefer if Beale wasn't in the squad, but could at least justify his inclusion if we had several injuries, but we dont. Seems to me Cheika intends to play beale at some point instead of the guys that have been on tour for the last month. that's really disappointing if its true. Cheika seems to just want to look after his Tahs.
he knows that he is more likely to retain his starting 12 next year if he includes him in the squad this year. Cheika is doing what he thinks is best for the tahs and not the wallabies.
Who wants to wager that the backline against England wont look like this
10. Foley
11. Horne
12. Beale
13. Kuridrani
14. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
15. Folau

How is Cheika as a coach not misguided for thinking it's right to pick him, knowing the ARU's hands are pretty much tied?

I think Cheika was trying his luck.
It is up to management to manage Cheika.
If this was a fight Cheika was willing to quit over,then he is the wrong guy.

I suspect it is a fast growing minority Scoey. I'm a bit with you. I will support the Wallabies so long as Beale is not in the team. If he is selected, that will be the end of my support for that/those particular game/s.

Fox sports were reporting on Beale this morning. I also rate Shatz but he isn't a like for like replacement for Higgers. More a McCalman type player in my view.
I would of liked to have seen them back some smokey's out of the NRC to send over. Holloway for Higgers and Kuindrani rather than Beale. Have a punt on these blokes and bring some good news stories to rugby.

He hasn't been fined, he's been "fined".
No money changes hands for these sort of things. It's just for public consumption.
The contract will be renegotiated, with the "fine" added on and then taken off – so everyone's a winner.
Too easy.
