Cheika offered top job at Force

[Alison]

Meanwhile, the Western Force still has a coach vacancy sign as Michael Cheika is set to reject their offer. The Force wanted Cheika, but it is believed he has or is about to turn them down.It is understood this follows senior players issuing their displeasure that Force officials had failed in their promise to have a coach in place by the time of their last game.

Surely just a another SMH hatchet job

But if true, heads should roll, be set on fire and the ashes launched into the sun!

I sincerely hope this wasn't a leak from the WF management. If it was and he doesn't sign, we'll look even more like idiots.

These pricks just flick shit around like it is confetti, the slightest whiff of a story and it is in the headlines. If a potential Coach isn't professional enough to keep his thoughts in confidence until the process is completed then I don't want him anyway. FFS, for a professional code it certainly is amateur hour.

...It is understood this follows senior players issuing their displeasure that Force officials had failed in their promise to have a coach in place by the time of their last game...

This is the strongest indication that the story is bullshit, we don't have senior players...

I almost believe it because you have to remember that RWA is run by a bunch of first class wank3rs.
It's about time some clearing out was done of that nice new head office.

Jesus I am sick of this sh*t!

I'm going to the circus with my kids this arvo. When I see Vern and the rest of the clowns i'll give em a spray!

The Force wanted Cheika, but it is believed he has or is about to turn them down.It is understood this follows senior players issuing their displeasure that Force officials had failed in their promise to have a coach in place by the time of their last game. Cheika, who made his name as a No.8 at Randwick from 1985-1999, began his coaching career at Padova in 2001, had success at Randwick before joining Leinster in 2005 and transforming them into Heineken Cup champions. His most recent gig was with French club Stade Francais, which ended earlier this year.Speculation that besieged Waratahs coach Michael Foley will head west will again intensify. Foley has been linked to the Force job several times in recent weeks as speculation has swirled over whether he would be retained by NSW next season after the Tahs' terrible 2012 campaign.

thats a bolt from the blue!...... i wonder if this was why there was no anouncement on friday?.

[eleypinkbit]

SMH and Growden have another article today saying Cheika won't sign and also Pococks wife was being shown the sights in Canberra so we'll be losing him too. Hope neither are true

We won more games this year with Graham than without him

We won more games this year with Graham than without him

fair point, but we dont want him back, hopefully it was a no return policy!......

[Burgs]

I'm tipping he won't be back, save once every two years...

If a) they lose Cheika, and b) they settle for Foley... that's the last straw. I give up.
