[QUOTE="Five Meters Out, post: 821078, member: 72548"] Cheika's taking some obscure detail (in this case an NZ newspaper cartoon mocking him) and telling his team it's the opposition disrespecting them, their team and the entire Australian nation is a common tactic amongst Aussie Rules Coaches in Melbourne. Any small comment by the opposition is jumped upon and blown up out of all proportion, with the media usually fully compliant in the "beat up". All designed to get their own team all worked up. I'd say, given how the Aussies played, that it worked for Cheika. However he needed to leave it there. Continuing on with it after the match just made him look like a poor loser/nutcase, almost bordering on "Trump like". [/QUOTE]
