Queensland Reds coach Phil Mooney has been sacked.
Incoming Queensland Rugby Union chairman Rod McCall has just announced in a media conference that his contract has been terminated immediately.
"Phil's shattered," McCall said. "It's obviously something very close to his heart. He's taken the news pretty hard."

on the recommendation of a consultancy group
ring any bells?
Yup. Perhaps any new coaching appointee in Aus Rugby should get John Mitchell's lawyer/agent to oversee his contract.
"The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday - Tom David
QRU is its own worst enemy
even though i dont agree with the sacking, it actually makes sense
In 2011 there will be a new victorian team signing players, Mooneys contract ran at the end of next year and players are unwilling to commit to a team where there was uncertainty over the coaching position.
At least now the players will know who the coach is
^^^ so, give Phil another year on his contract - problem solved.
This is bullshit - a very decent man and a pretty handy coach has been royally screwed today.
What a joke!![]()
Jobs for the boys perhaps?
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
So, Link to the Reds and Mooney as the Vic backs coach?
Wonder how Williams is feeling about signing on to help next year.
I heard on the grapevine that Wendell Sailor was coming in as a player-coach. And that Queensland Reds were going to be renamed Wendell's Warriors.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
wont be able to tackle for shit though
was Mooney that bad a coach?
my thoughts exactly.. poor bloke
