Ewen McKenzie is the problem. What evidence suggests he as a coach is a problem? His most recent Australian history suggests otherwise. Strongly. He is the most successful active super rugby coach from Australia in fact.
I'm not going to bother with the Beale stuff, because to be frank I no longer care about the details. Beale will be gone and it's that simple.
The point the article was making, and which I agree with, is that there's been a conga line of guys like this out of Australian Rugby over the past decade, and to me that suggests something fundamentally wrong with the set-up.
You don't think McKenzie has any responsibility here? You wouldn't look at your MD's judgement if a perpetual shit generating incident like this occurred on his watch and with people he personally selected? Fine, but this whole thing is becoming a side show and we're papering over the cracks.
Link has been in charge for a year and it's been less than a rosy affair so far. Maybe you're right and he's just incredibly unlucky and it's really just all Beale, and things will be perfect once Beale is gone.
But I seriously doubt it.
