Cheika says no to Force

[Naggs]

Don't worry I will be renewing anyway whatever happens.
I'll never learn!

Yeah me too. Even if they sign Foley. Force till I die (probably from a heart attack)

I'd have to seriously question renewing if they appoint Foley.

I'm not so sure. Bit tough to expect Foley to immediately undo a decade's damage to team ethos. I'd prefer others anyway. But I thought the same about Cheika. Careful what you wish for?

The main problem with a Foley appointment would be that it would look like a desperate decision.

Snob - Can you just stop and think for a moment that the only flame they are feeding is yours.

The journalists of both coasts are doing what journalists do - selling newspapers - or selling adspace on websites by encouraging people to read their journalistic endeavours.

At no time in the last week has RugbyWA put out a press release or had their CEO, Rugby Manager, Media Relations Manager or the tea lady have sat in the same room as a journalist to give them a quote for their stories.

RugbyWA has said that they will make an announcement once they have finalised their process and someone signs a contract.

Anything else written by someone else is speculation and should be treated with contempt.

You are on the money Ex

While I agree that RWA can't release a statement every time an Eastern states paper writes a derogatory article about the Force, considering they have announced that there would be an announcement, if negotiations have stalled, or they are waiting for the ARU, or whatever, they should have released a statement along the lines of: "Sorry, announcement will be delayed due to ... We will let you know when anything changes."

That would be sufficient, I suspect, to keep most of us happy that Growden, etc, are enunciating bovine excrement.

So if they made a release say "Sorry, announcemnet will delayed do to no contract being executed or ratified as we had hoped" you would be happier, I think we all know why the announcment has not been made

As long as pocock has been kept in the loop who gives a rats. It's not like we're going to decide not to renew before the renewal packs come out. If you're stressing out (understandably) give the club a call or email and have a chat. Doesn't look like there's much news yet though.

Ditto ....

The leaks have to be coming from somewhere though..
99% of the RugbyWA might have the best intentions at heart, but it only takes one staff member to leak the info.

[shasta]

Or someone, not from RWA but in the know, leaking infirmation/misinformation. There are a few other tricks people can try to up the anti in negotiations besides the "going to RL" strategy.

potentially, but it doesn't seem to be the first time reports have been leaked from RugbyWA..

Not trying to touch on a soft area, but on the flip side you have the QRU contract negotiations with Richard Graham which were a secret until it was signed.

[shasta]

Yeah. Exactly the same situation too.
