Good riddance? You know he's got 12 months left on his contract right?

I'll take it......in 12 months, that means we can have a visionary with a love for the game, rather than a bean counter with a love for short term profits.

At the same time, we'll be getting a new coach to take the Wallabies to the next level.....call me a glass half-full kinda guy, but that means we only have one more season before our team gets a chance.

Best of luck to Ruan and Ollie. I hope they get a run earn a shower. It's bloody frustrating that the club rugby the two were pulled from was NOT WA club rugby. It's all been said before but Zero Neil is a deadset flog bag roadkill felching arseclown.

Longtime members of this forum will know that I have been a supporter of JO'N for years, even when other people didn't like his decisions, but scrapping the academies was the final straw for me. Australian rugby needs to be sustainable from a financial standpoint but I don't think it's sustainable from a player standpoint anymore.

you're right in the fact that this time JO'N is hanging around too long, he did what he was needed to do when they got him back, and now he is staying on too long. his contract should have not been extended. he should have finished after the world cup like he was initially going to.
i hope he doesnt put off his retirement for another one is all.

and you know we all agree, for rugby to grow and be sustainable with 5 teams in australia, there NEEDS to be both acedemies and a dedicated 2nd tier competition.


i also cannot believe that there has been no concessions made to the australian teams for argentinian players. they are all so much less attractive to the northern hemisphere now the rugby championship is going ahead.

but for the record IMO, if there is a dispensation, the rebels should be exempt from it until they are in the same boat re. marquees as the other 4 teams.

either way, SANZAR has dropped the ball by expanding the 3N, but not making it easier for the argies players toplay super rugby.

He's probably got his sights on the Olympic Chair...
See if he can screw that up too.
