Michael Cheika has been fired by SF....

[Ecky]

I understand that Cheika is a no-nonsense, straight-shooter who has been known to rub people up the wrong way.

I guess there's no need for that sort to take charge here?

The salient point, however, is whether either of them would be interested in the challenge that lies ahead for the successful candidate. The Blues also have a fair challenge at the moment, but you'd argue they have a deeper player talent pool, thereby making it a more attractive proposition?

Didn't I read some comment that the players wanted Cheika ? But until we have a signed contract we have diddly !

After Geniagate, let's just assume we have no coach at the moment OK?

If Horan tweets that he's on the verge of signing then we'll know he's not coming here.

yeah, but we also understand that Jake White is a no-nonsense, straight shooter who has been known to rub people up the wrong way and we also thought the Brumbies was the last place where a bloke like that could have success...........all I'm saying is, it might work!

And PC I think there are a couple of articles earlier in thread on Loudens performance and Chieka "might" have a few player interaction issues. I'm not sure either way, but maybe slanting towards Louden? I was towards Chieka to start with, but I'm flexible lol %)

Just get the best you can and let him do his job unlike the way Mitch was treated. The players are big boys now and a few bruised egos won't hurt them.

A few bruised egos might help them

I think that Cheika is a bit of a John Mitchell kind of guy. Maybe it is that abrasive dictatorial type the we need to get things done. I suppose it depends on where you think the Force should head.

Louden is a bit more of a people person and he has very good track record of getting the best out of people. I think the Force are in need of a complete reinvention and that a guy who can come along and build a backline and sharpen up our attack is priceless. I reckon we need to target the U20s and take the cream from there and look at building towards being successful on the field rather than taking short term measures like marquee fly-halves who are only here for 1 year. Someone who can come up with a Force style.

Louden is not even on the "short list"

[brokendown gunfighter]

not on RWA's shortlist or Nick Taylor's?

[wqerti]

Louden seem to be a good according to his record but he is not proven yet in Super Rugby. Still prer Kirwan or Cheika

tweet tweet, they're both the same
