Nice to see that someone on here has some common sense.TigerCam wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 11:32 am+1 Exactly. Contracts may well be stitched up but another change may put ideas in players minds to find a more stable club to settle with.

And yet players will often agree contracts at new clubs halfway through the previous season, not knowing what the coaching set up could be
Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach
I see "Ruck" is pushing the story that Mr McKeller is off back to Oz and Sir Kev is a hot tip to be the next gaffer.
Then, as I've been told many times on here, "This is Ruck!'

I'm sure that Sir Kev bemoaned the lack of time at home with his family when he was with us as an assistant. I can't imagine that he'd enjoy being top dog and having to, most likely, spend more time away from home.

I definitely think it is more likely that Kev may be joining us to replace Dickens than McKellar.longlivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 6:19 pmI'm sure that Sir Kev bemoaned the lack of time at home with his family when he was with us as an assistant.

Him and Everard looking after attack/defence.
Let's not also forget Atkinson credited Sinfield as massively helping his kicking (which seems to be the root of his confidence issues atm)

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach
Totally this, there is no way that Sir Kev is spending large amounts of time 120 miles plus away from his young family while they are growing. If one of the local rugby league sides can’t utilise his services I’m sure he’ll be kept busy enough with his charitable workslonglivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 6:19 pmI'm sure that Sir Kev bemoaned the lack of time at home with his family when he was with us as an assistant.

The Ruck is a Saints fan isn’t he so he is unlikely to have a clue

Rugby Inside Line is run by Saints fans (there are a few of them that run it). Not sure on The Ruck.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 6:52 pm The Ruck is a Saints fan isn’t he so he is unlikely to have a clue

Thought that was more 'Rugby Inside Line' - the Saints fan I mean, could be wrong.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 6:52 pm The Ruck is a Saints fan isn’t he so he is unlikely to have a clue

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach
The rumours about Sinfield leaving England all seem to started with one article in the Telegraph where they speculated that Sinfield was leaving as Felix Jones is incoming. Ignoring the fact that Jones has been brought in to look after the attack.
The Telegraph have run two or three pieces that have been very negative about Sinfield. They seem to be the ones fueling the rumours and the likes of the Ruck and Rugby Pass just parrot them on a day later, in the Ruck's case they generally drag a rumour out for a good fortnight if they can.
Despite the down beat nature of their analysis of his defensive structure England had one of the best defences in the competition. Helped by the draw certainly but up against South Africa we looked perfectly capable.

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach
Agreed. However, I will say that in our title winning.season we were excellent with a Sinfield drilled D but the following season we were poor until Everard picked.up the reins. Maybe sides worked us out from the season before without us making any.significant strides defensively or that Sinfield's message got lost but the results were not so great.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 10:34 pmThe rumours about Sinfield leaving England all seem to started with one article in the Telegraph where they speculated that Sinfield was leaving as Felix Jones is incoming.

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach
I don’t think it a rumour at all. If you read the article it says it’s mutually agreed not ‘Sinfield should go’. Telegraph- Charlie Morgan, Ben Coles etc are very reliable. It doesn’t read as an opinion piece or speculation more an explanation as to why they are parting ways.longlivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 3:31 amAgreed.
