@Qldtragic discovered fire! Make him CEO of RAMore money?

Or Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oy Oy Oy!!Nooooooooooo……………
It is ironic that when a coach is sacked for above reasons or players too because of poor form or disciplinary reasons, there is always a new team that will welcome them wholeheartedly as if they are supermen…. Eddie is good for 2-3 years max….then he loses the room…. So expect a massive payout when he doesn’t go the 5 year distance…. more incompetency from the dopes that run Australian rugby.In a report in the Times on Tuesday evening, it was revealed that the review of Eddie Jones' position as England coach uncovered some ugly truths about the atmosphere in the England dressing room.
The report suggests that Jones had created a "draining" environment for players, and that fallouts with specific players had begun during a trying Six Nations.
These kinds of reports from the English camp are not necessarily new - Jones has been criticised in the past for his treatment of backroom staff. However, the report in the Times suggests that Jones had begun to fall out with the players in the England squad over the course of 2022, putting a ticking clock on his time in the job.
A Six Nations campaign which saw England claim just two wins, and suffer defeat to rivals Scotland and Ireland, had tensions running high in the England camp, and the Times report suggests that those tensions led to a severe fallout with Saracens man Max Malins.
Malins was allegedly reduced to tears by scathing criticism from Jones, who slammed the Sarries back's body language and dumped him from the squad. The Times claim that incidents like these across the year made Jones unpopular with the squad, and ultimately made his position untenable.
Report: Fallout With Players Led To Eddie Jones Sacking | Balls.ie
Eddie Jones has finally departed as England coach, and reports in the English media suggest it was a poor changing room atmosphere that did itwww.balls.ie
Agree Derpus….sacked for losing the room with a great squad and then hailed as a saviour now with us… and 5 years? Way too long … he won’t see that out I’m predicting… he does generate interest in the game though… will be interesting if nothing else.Yeah i was saying Rennie should go but bringing in Jones leaves a bit of a sour taste.
Hes literally just been sacked for doing shite with a way better squad than ours.
Bugger off, you are quite aware that is almost impossible, I've done too much keyboard work for you already...If you can actually go back and name these supposed young players who didn't receive enough game time, and the players that should've been dropped for them...
That might be a bit more constructive?
I reckon Rugby Australia's figuring that salary is $4.5M over three years, not five - if we get more than three years out of Eddie, it'll be a bonus.The reported salary would make him one of the lowest paid Wallaby coaches in recent history, and almost half what he was earning in England
Hooper?My guesses would be Sua'ali'i, Murray and Chricton. The first is a given and the other two potentially fill a hole where we lack depth (assuming Crichton is earmarked as a 6). If not he also ticks Eddie’s project box of having a back rower in the centres.
Jimmy, this is not a big call IMHO, a big call would have been to take Razor or Coleman and Cron (as coach and asst.).It is so good a chairman who can make tough even brutal business/management decisions. In the past Rugby Australia would have been England in this example and the media would have rinsed Rugby Australia for another stupid decision (in terms of letting someone go without being on gardening leave).
I like Rennie and this is brutal on him but thats why McLennan is there. He makes the big calls and he would of simply said which of these two coaches is more likely to help us win the RWC. If it is Jones then make it happen.

Too Young?He was u16 last year, so assuming 17 this year, he'll be 18 next year and possibly left school? Isn't he 105kgs? He'd be physically fine and you need to get in before NRL so I don't see why he wouldn't be on the hit list to sign for 2024.
Slim, someone should have forced you to read what a site like this is about, it is not a court of law it is a bloody opinion site, god! you're boring.So, you’ve just been repeating a claim you have no evidence of?
I’m glad we finally got to the bottom of this, and won’t hear anymore about it.
Is your appreciation of the English squad so high?Yeah i was saying Rennie should go but bringing in Jones leaves a bit of a sour taste.

I wouldn’t take the NRL hit list talk as gospel, that’s just standard Eddie propaganda. Wouldn’t be surprised if these rumours don’t leak every couple of months just to bump rugby back into the headlines

Nelson Asofa-Solomona would make Darcy Swain look like a saint with how Rugby is officiated.Agree with the above, but its January and there's no Rugby on here so its fun to speculate.
The Tele reporting this morning the 3 players are
1. Joseph Sua'ali'i
2. Will Pennisi
3. Nelson Asofa-Solomona
First two have a strong Rugby history and are making waves in the NRL at a very young age. Either would be a big coup.
Unsure about NAS, he's the perfect height and build for a second rower but would take time for him to pick up the nuances and you'd think he'd prefer to play for the ABs having grown up in NZ.

I think he'd be best suited to 8, don't think he would get through the same work rate at lock.He played Rugby Union in NZ, as lock and number 8 according this video:
The pool of players England have to choose from is unequivocally better than ours.Is your appreciation of the English squad so high?
