Countless people have answered this, you just don’t like the answers. Should we go through it one more time again so you can, once again, roll out your scripted replies?

If she was good at the job we wouldn’t be here. Simple as that.

We’re the World Champs in sunk cost fallacy so we’ll stick to this losing formula until Rugby in this country is well and truly crushed into the dust.

Sticking with non-performing options has got us to this point, but it won’t get us out the other side.

And if you think Castle has been performing, I’ve got an airline to sell you.

If this whole Wuhan virus epidemic has reminded me one thing it is the media is by and large the enemy of the people. This article is a perfect example of that and belongs with the continuous flow of journalists proposing the most hairbrain ideas as “what about?” questions for the PM around social distancing.

JOC has been tried at 10 in every club and team he has played for with mediocre results.

What combination? It was dire when it existed and we can at least look beyond it now.

How will Dave Rennie replace the Pooper combination?

I thought it was something as simple as not having the budget to match his contract he’d already secured overseas.

Not to mention at the time we had guys like Palu sitting on renewed Wallaby contracts not having played test rugby in 2 years. We just didn’t have the money to spend on back rowers.

It’s not all Cheika. Contract mismanagement was and perhaps still is a real thing in Rugby Australia.

He’s also paid to be captain. He needs some training for that.

I think you prove my point. I’m not a detractor, I just think he’s not a very good captain. You can be a weak captain but get good results when the team is doing well.

What defines captaincy is decisions that win and lose games. His poor use of the DRS is a defining example of his captaincy ability.

As long as Paine’s batsmen keeping batting well and his bowlers keep bowling well the flaws in his weak captaincy are covered up.

His misuse of the DRS during the Ashes cost us the 3rd test. I trust DRS more than I trust Paine.

Didn’t they get the memo? You’re not allowed to have fun at stadiums in Australia. The Gabba and Suncorp are just as bad.

We’ve seen the last of Folau. We haven’t seen the end of poor decisions of which Rugby Australia has almost solely claimed ownership of over the past 10 years.

Rennie is the best man for the job out of all available options.

It is the one shining piece of great news we can take into 2020. I’m also a strong believe that in sports winning solves a lot of problems. Let’s hope Rennie believes this too.

Sounds like you’re in group 7 like me.

Happy the Folau Saga is over and we can move on, but not ready to let those accountable off the hook.

Apparently that makes you a misogynist with a vendetta in these parts.

And you are so certain despite the everything that has happened up until this point being an utter disaster area.

You and TWAS can turn the lights out at Rugby Australia when the receivers have finished their job.

What if Cheika had not resigned? Can you say with 100% certainty that he would have been moved along if he wanted to stay? Could Castle do that? Maybe I guess if Joyce told her too.

Otherwise I refer to the word mettle. Of which she has shown zero.

A broken clock is right twice a day. If that’s the benchmark we compare good CEOs to, and your basically saying it is, God help us.

If she can ensure we retain that talent I’ll concede that point let’s see what happens there.

None of which was an impediment to moving the game forward. We are not forward. We are not in a better place than when she took control as the CEO.

I don’t know if you understand what Chief Executive Officer means.

It means first and foremost you can’t pass the buck.
