Kurtley Beale Stood Down

[Ralto]

this is becoming bigger than Ben Hur--rumour has it the Employee concerned and the coach are very good friends

Is this what happens when teams go on tour - I can't believe it.

Maybe this is why KB was not rubbed out last yr when he was at the rebels after the SA bus trip scenario involving Delve.... He had the Pics of someone.... Maybe its Link and Miss Patston in the Pics

Even though when Beale punched delve, link wasn't an ARU employee?

Who drove him to the airport? Maybe they are good friends.

Rumour mongers (sauces) claiming that Linq moved to Sydney & bought a unit because of work then met said Patson and they subsequently become an item. Linq has left wife-daughters don't even talk to him any more. Linq pursuades ARU to give Patson the job at Wallabies. So apparently a few "senior" players haven't liked the setup with her ordering them about.
FFS if this is true the state of rot starts at the top. What feckin chance has the team got?

That's the million-dollar question really isn't it? Who is Di's partner? If it is someone involved in Australian rugby, then isn't there a conflict of interest for both her and her partner?

This is bullsh1t.
Di has taken sick leave after taking her ball and going home after a cat fight over a farking t-shirt.
Spare me Mary mother of Jesus.
What a farking circus.
Sack the coach and the management.
This is not a professional set up.
Broom the joint. Keep the rugby players though.
This sh1t isn't acceptable for a group of men.

Di will be employed as a milkman next

[Rex Messup]

Gillard and krud are responsible for this bullsh1t. Di has self induced nausea and pulver is running around making excuses for this dozy b1tch and making sure her wellbeing is cared for. Better give her some long service leave as well or some compo for work related mental illness. She needs to be shown the door for fucking incompetence and destroying our rugby team. If link hired this nightmare he should be sacked as well. What a farking circus.

[todd4]

I have it from a very unreliable source that Di didn't take the flight when Link drove her to the airport. She doubled back and went to the game and it was her that was shining the laser from a grassy knoll.

From today's SMH http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/un...09-113xqz.html

Sounds as though Link is far from clean in this whole bloody fiasco and certainly has some explaining to do but that looks like being hidden. KB looks more like the fall guy for this silly woman's hurt feelings.
Time for Link to exit stage left!

This is what happens when you lose. The focus turns to all this nonsense. If this was related to some liaison or personal relationship as opposed to the Rugby stuff (which i don't know) then no reason that this needs to be made public - unless of course toys are being thrown out of prams. The ARU is looking pretty dysfunctional at the moment.

[Rex Messup]

This sort of nonsense is why we lose.
Kurtley didn't have a meltdown over a t-shirt. This was the culmination and end point of a ever increasing interference from an idiot with a white paper on human behaviour who had been inappropriately employed to do a job she had no talent or ability in.
This incident is the equivalent of being told to mow the lawn by your mother in law when a rugby international between the wallabies and allblacks is about to kick off.
Poor management is toxic. Kurtley came off the back of a great season. He has been off the piss and in red hot form. He got lean and got his head right.
Enter incompetent management. His form dipped and after 3 months of getting niggles by some farking idiot over bullshit and the coach watching this shit worsen the bloke was on the edge. He was down after a test loss ans upset with his personal performance. It was not the time for the mother in law bossy niggle about bullshit.
Sack link. He is responsible for the idiot that has driven the team to the edge of despair. He also has not set guidelines for her role. The players resent her constant intrusion and interference.
Link has to walk.
Cheika should be national coach.
Kafer should be hired as strategic intelligence. I always wondered why he was in the wallabies because he was an ordinary player. The bloke is tactical genius.

However. If you're getting paid a fuckload per season, you bloody welllwear the shirt you're told to.
If I rocked up to work in a flanno I'd get told to put a different shirt on. We also have company a shirt we have to wear whilst travelling.

Essentially, if you're getting paid to be there - you do as your told.
Or if you prefer it in a different way.
Don't like it? Quit.

[jargan83]

Could have been a similar situation to that picture of the All Blacks that was posted a week or so back and they were in civvies.
