Just shows how cheika was a coach for the pre Pro era*. This sort of shit is part of your job as an international player. 4 players is a good compromise, send your four that won't be playing, job done. Then gets uppity when his boss does something boss like, and argues it in public.
- Admittedly amateur days they would have all been their on the free piss!

Think he's the COO of an insurance company or something.

PHIL KEARNS MANAGING DIRECTOR
Phil has more than ten years of experience leading financial service organisations, headlined by his previous position as Chief Executive Officer at Centric Wealth, as well as senior positions across divisions at Investec, the South African-based investment bank.
Whilst at Centric Wealth, Phil has been instrumental in building the corporate and private bank client base and introducing investors to innovative opportunities, including property and other alternative investments. Phil has helped transform InterRISK into a multimillion dollar business.So there you go.
That tendency for the "blokey" side to emerge during the commentary thing is obviously appealing for the ratings thing.
Sounds to me like ex-rugby player with a "jobs for the boys role" wheeled out to wine and dine potential investors.

I agree, wholeheartedly. I'm never surprised when an ex-sportsperson holds a high-paying corporate executive role - it's one of the benefits of having been a high-level sportsperson (along with all that poontang, obviously).

Morgan Turinui - breaker-upper of fights betwixt coach and CEO - wrote an article on The Next Coach
https://www.therugbyruckus.com/2019/10/23/the-who-and-how-of-the-next-wallabies-coach/
It is an interesting read from a guy who I'd like to see in the coaching ranks ongoing.
EDIT: keeping in mind Morgs is a Randwick guy and reasonably close with Cheika, I think the thing I appreciate is he's fairly neutral about the outcome.

Here’s an open letter from Krusty to Aussie rugby fans
'My farewell to players and fans' by Michael Cheika | Year in Review
Michael Cheika signs off as coach, revealing an emotional bond with two Wallabies who lost their fathers, and the team's battle with 'friendly fire'. And he thanks the 'amazing' fans who have been more passionate than ever before despite Australian rugby's many problems.

@jegga To paraphrase 'I am gutted cos we couldn't australia enough for you fans. The next coach should ozzie even more FTW!'
You have to marvel at the level of denial and cuntitude that makes Krusty put results in quotation marks.
We were not good enough to come away with victory and we are all judged by ‘results’ but as we’ve said to each other before inside our dressing room – your worthiness comes from believing in yourself implicitly first, then results will come from that. I have been honoured and proud to serve you all.

What kind of bullshit is going here? How is it that Castle thinks it's a good idea to not only undermine her coach by inviting players to a gala dinner, without his knowledge, behind is back but then also blame the entire WC failure on someone her employer is currently locked in a legal stoush with??
Izzy's lawyers will be loving this shit. He wasn't there but is being blamed for the failure...

@Machpants it is to an extent "click bait" but its does not remove the fact that she makes mention of him and it's effect on the team. Thats not what you say when this type of legal situation is playing out. you simply don't comment.
