[QUOTE="Mikel92, post: 694732, member: 71857"] I agree with j'nuh about being kind of annoyed with him over the Beale thing. Beale is lucky to be allowed to play again, because it wasn't that long he was responsible for a staff member quitting for his lewd actions. He's just an immature punk and it's not the first time. I'm all for second chances, but he's had a few now. And for Cheika to come out and make light of it "I'm not his social worker" indicates to me he doesn't care about what kind of player culture is going on within that side. Success at Super level is almost irrelevant these days. Deans was brilliant with the Crusaders, and McKenzie brought the Reds right up compared to the joke they were under Phil Mooney. Even with NSW McKenzie was solid and took them to a final. There's also just certain decisions that...to me don't make a whole lot of sense. He wants all the Super Rugby coaches in Aus to be involved in the National set up, he wants to keep coaching the 'Tahs next year (although maybe that's for contractual obligations). Just not sure how smart those things are. It's also pretty well documented that the guy has anger problems. Makes me question how he'll react to further challenges. Aussie Rugby has more problems than just who the coach is. But, I'm not totally sold on the guy personally. I reckon Ewen could have made Australia more competitive in the England and French games.
