Sorry kpm mate – but this is the exact reason organisations and teams fail.
If you pick for potential and aptitude, and ignore attitude, you’ve got a bunch of individuals and not a team.
There’s not a performance coach, or half decent leader in the world that would agree with this
Joe Schmidt's search for a 'cold-hearted bastard' - and the issue he'll lose most sleep over
Moving from the state that made you for more money, then refusing to play over an allowance says you’re wrong.
Exclusive: Wallaby refused to play for Rebels against Reds over outstanding debt
Where and when you go to work, what you do, and how much you care can be dictated by greed.

TwAS, we disagree about many things, but in this you’re 100% right.
The legally can’t pay, RA can’t pay, and anyone who says otherwise, doesn’t understand the law.

Tane was not immense.
He was passable.
If you consider no points from the entire backline passable.
'Philosophical, disappointed but excited': Tahs lose another nail-biter as wasteful Blues hang on to make it 10 straight
RB, Mate, the editorial on this site may as well be a chokatah cheer squad..
Honestly, I cheer for all Aussie teams, but this site makes me want to actively hate the Tahs.
'Everything was approved': Eddie hits back at $2.6m RWC budget blow-out, says Wallabies can build team around young gun
No mate.
Failing to set the team down and say “you have X budget,” is absurd
It’s literally the basics of financial management.
'Everything was approved': Eddie hits back at $2.6m RWC budget blow-out, says Wallabies can build team around young gun
Build a team around the bloke who is constantly injured and has 0 test caps.
Great idea mate.

Extremely widely held within the confines of Sydney?
OK.
Exclusive: NRL powerhouse set sights on Wallaby-in-waiting after ex-All Blacks boss snags Roosters star Manu
Oh I know, I’m just wondering how a bloke comes by said designation.
Exclusive: NRL powerhouse set sights on Wallaby-in-waiting after ex-All Blacks boss snags Roosters star Manu
Just so we’re clear, by “Wallaby in waiting,” you mean an “inexperienced outside back, from a province that’s in the bottom 2 Australian sides, and bottom 5 sides of the comp?”
Because anyone would think you were talking about a match winner…. For which, you actually have to win matches.
Eddie Jones thought he was a” prodigious talent,” but Jones thought the same of himself….
Dear lord the chokatah obsession ruins this site.

Really. A bloke from Sydney has no clue about rugby? Shock horror.
Five things we learned: Why Schmidt is in a better place than Rennie was, how Kiss has transformed Reds
Stick with the claret and cheese.
Leave the chalk to the linesman.
Five things we learned: Why Schmidt is in a better place than Rennie was, how Kiss has transformed Reds
Sorry KFTD, I wasn’t dissing JTA, just have noticed a massive improvement in our tight 5 every time Ravai comes on.
I also noticed that JTA is huge and did a serious job, but I think that’s his first game, whereas Ravai has performed in all three.
Long may it continues, and they both demolish the opposition!
Five things we learned: Why Schmidt is in a better place than Rennie was, how Kiss has transformed Reds
Agreed. Ravai is a beast!

Just themselves mate. Just themselves.
'No one backed us': $8 outsiders Waratahs upset Crusaders AGAIN as Edmed steps up to deliver famous win
I’ve answered this in past threads, but we need to create a professional league, with Australian teams, with predictable TV slots. At least 5 games a week, means advertisers have a chance to spend money.
'Our talent is spread too thin': Ex-Wallabies captain urges Rugby Australia to cut Super teams
Pretty sick of the “Centralised Model” nonsense.
All that means, is that NSW runs rugby for everyone.
If you can’t even define what a “centralised model” looks like for revenue, training, high performance and grass roots connection (which NO ONE has presented) then asking people to sign up for it is just rubbish.
Don’t then blame the states for not signup up to a carte blanche with an organisation that couldn’t organise a piss-up in a pub.
'Our talent is spread too thin': Ex-Wallabies captain urges Rugby Australia to cut Super teams
In 2019, there were something like 88 Australian players in professional rugby sides overseas.
Yeah – definitely not enough talent for 5 teams. There’s at least 8-10 that could be supported.
'Our talent is spread too thin': Ex-Wallabies captain urges Rugby Australia to cut Super teams
And some people were plumping this idiot up to be CEO.
Please, if you’re from NSW, and have been involved in the last 20 years, you’re the bloody problem.
'Our talent is spread too thin': Ex-Wallabies captain urges Rugby Australia to cut Super teams
Yup. Agreed.
Jaguares is a silly idea UNLESS the TV revenue from Argentina is that big that it hugely impacts rugby in Aus.
'Ready to go': Jaguares set for early return to Super Rugby if Rebels fall over
So one the one hand, great article, and thanks Harry.
On the other – how come it’s always a new coach will/must go back to the same Waratahs players “because reasons?”
