CLARIFICATION STATEMENT RWA ; JOHN MITCHELL

[travelling_gerry]

The timing of the release wasn't too bad though. No papers tomorrow.

[slomo]

but there is nothing new in this apart from JM now being on restriced duties, hopefully now the dossier that john welborn had from the players, in regards to the players opinions will now see the light of day.....

i dont really understand this either, he has taken a new side from bottom of the table to title contenders in only a few short years..

Either he has lost his marble in the last 12 months and started doing some weird things or some players are having authority issues.

As a Reds fan and having to endure similar shit over the last few years with the Eddie Jones debacle, only one thing can happen. The person/s who are causing the issues need a real attitude fix-up or they need to get rid of them.

At least there is light at then end of the tunnel though, the Brumbies won the 2004 Super12 title after the players revolted and had there coach sacked, and the Waratahs almost did a similar act in 2008, albeit with a coach sacked by the administration.

Can't they sort anything out for them"bloody"selves, we've got a problem gee lets go running to daddy for help. Grow a backbone.

I agree

before Mitchell came to the Force back in 2006, we the WF had only 1 player in the Wallabies squad (sharpie) now with 9 players in the squad, who should be getting a 'pat on the back' MITCHELL as he has developed the WF playing structure to what we see it today,

As a few of us have said in this forum, the so called senior players weren't so senior before coming to the force, so go back to where ever you came from and develop your skills in playing domestic and not international. MITCHELL has got you this far and if we stay together we can win something for the state, for the members and for all rugby fans..

RWA needs to tighten up a bit with announcements from joondalup_dave coming out before anything official

Word from HQ is that The Western Force Wallabies were also the fittest and best prepared on tour this and in recent pre season fitness testing about 6 have set new club records and about 10 finished beter than last years best. There is some good news about, I wish they would release something like this to the press for a change.

Word from HQ...

which HQ exactly? Unless its Wallabies HQ, the media wouldn't pay attention. Even then....

[brokendown gunfighter]

If this is another case of players demanding, without due cause, that the coach be reigned in then that's a worrying trend running through Australian Rugby. Nucifora, McKenzie, Mitchell?

I don't know why the board and the CEO can't sort this mess out. Maybe they've been unable to get to the bottom of things. That's a worry in itself. Whatever, if the claims don't prove to have substance I really hope the organisation has the balls to show the troublemaker/s the door no matter who that turns out to be. Coaches of Mitchell's standing are hard to come by.

its not only some of the players with a problem,the assistant coaches dont appear happy either
