AAPThe Melbourne Rebels have been told a few home truths by new coach Tony McGahan to prepare for 2014.
New Melbourne Rebels coach Tony McGahan is dishing out some tough love as he moulds his side into a Super Rugby force.
The Rebels, playing in their fourth Super season, aren't prepared to settle for just making up the numbers in 2014.
Centre Mitch Inman said that former Wallabies assistant McGahan, who has replaced Damien Hill, was about short term pain for long term gain.
"He can be quite a harsh critic," Inman said of McGahan, a former schoolteacher.
"You think you're doing really well in pre-season and you'll go for a meeting and he'll give you some very constructive criticism.
"It's a good wake-up call."
Inman said while the feedback could be tough to take, it would benefit the side in the long term.
"It may be a bit harsh but what he's trying to do will benefit you and get the best out of you as a player."
Following the departure of star backs James O'Connor and Kurtley Beale, Inman, 25, is ready to step up as one of the most experienced backs in the side.
