[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 182252"] 1. Why would it, the media pushed the hardest out of everyone to get O'Neill into the job, I think the fact that he constantly comes out with these grand plans every couple of days itself gives out that image...I mean, O'Neill constantly going on about the ELV's could very well be percieved in the UK as a Australian attempt to take the pressure off the Australian scrum by these new rule changes, and that is what alot of the opposition I have read from NH sources go on about...he needs to stop being this figurehead...I haven't seen him do a thing of worth since he came back besides the Hong Kong test, and even then I am not decided on it.... 2. Why would O'Neill do that, the clubs got him in place to scuttle the ARC and that is exactly what he did...and this new Super 14 idea keeps the clubs onside but will basically water the Super 14 down as a whole...I thought O'Neill was supposed to turn Australian Rugby around with vision that actually helped make Australian rugby strong.... [/b][/quote] It sounds a bit odd that O'Neil would be brought back to "scuttle the ARC" when he was always for the creation of a national competition when he was in charge before... We'll wait and see what comes from these talks though, it does sound like a bit of a money making scheme, but maybe he's just trying to see how much he can get away with and hoping for a compromise half way.
