Cheika allegedly had Nick McArdle suspended from Foxsports

Apparently there was a off air conversation that wasn’t broadcast in Australia but shown abroad. Apparently it was over the comment that McArdle made about the Salta match at half time. ‘You can’t polish a turd.’ Cheika went postal.

This is nasty shit. You can’t have a test coach running the press too. No wonder Growden is hitting them with shovels.

I think Cheika’s handle on power in the RA has got to be untenable .

It was untenable years ago. Growden had a follow up article stating that Cheika has to get at least six months notice if his contract is going to be terminated.

Growden may be a lot of things but if what he is saying is true than the Wallabies will need years to recover from this mess unless they get a bold coach who can develop talent and get results. One candidate who meets that criteria they cancelled a call which was leaked to the press.

You only have to look at the list of players that are rumoured to be leaving.

Just had a listen to the clip that was posted on G&G. Supposed to go on the Japan trip, his dad’s 80th, sensitive issue, Cheik had it pulled, suspended for the rest of the year.
