So, what HAS Michael Cheika actually done as a coach?

In answer to the thread title hes coached them to six successive losses.
 
His swearing is an inspiration though.

Those ragtops are a hostile bunch indeed.

My son and I watched that a dozen times, it doesn't get old.

Cheika probably needs to try the bald look. Or at least attend to that gross hair island in the stream on top of his head.

Has anyone ever seen them both in the same place at the same time?

Man's a genius. Deliberately lost last year. Now narrows the gap to 20 points by going thug. And whinges about the ref who gave his side a free ride in the scrums. 
Obvious genius.

I'm beginning to think he got lucky last year.

This and the suspicion that last year was a Dead Cat Bounce effect

I'm beginning to think those defensive efforts against Wales and England have gone by the wayside.

He's having a bad run alright but have to say I like the guy. It really did look like last year he was the great saviour of aussie rugby. Hoping he learns from the last few games and comes back stronger, Horror run of injuries this year but will force him to blood some new fellas

Crucial

Maybe his team would play more professionally and he and his team would get more respect from officials of he presented himself more professionally. The 'one of the boys' look of the sloppy suit and unshaven face might go down well among the uncouth ockers but I would think there is some way it contributes to how seriously others take him.

I am. I'm not saying it is right but presenting an unprofessional image then moaning about not being treated professionally just seems stupid. FFS the guy is in a well paid important job and appears as a 'face' of the game. I wouldn't turn up at work looking like he does to a press conference and I'm certainly no suit and tie guy.
Image creates impressions on people whether right or wrong.

ARU PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT: Daniel Craig appointed Wallabies coach because some Kiwi bloke says the ugly fluffybunny who can't help how he looks or how he speaks wasn't winning games.
 
"Sure fire RWC2019 victory!" proclaims ARU boss Bill Pulver, "though we think it might also be the gun... who fucking cares as long as we're winning!"

:think:
 
To be honest, that wouldn't actually be the stupidest thing the ARU is capable of.

I do think Moore has a problem though. Could be his reputation proceeded him, but it seems refs don't want a bar of him. Has he been a dick to refs before? 
Don't know what the solution is. But I'm pretty sure it isn't Cheika getting a makeover.

NTA

Would need A LOT of plastic surgery. 
Moore can't turn off his game brain or at least filter it before it gets to his mouth. Difficult to master smashing rucks one minute and then politely asking about the quality of cucumber sandwiches the next

nostrildamus

Yes I couldn't watch the whole game today but not sure Moore is really top hooker or suitable captain material at the moment.

Crucial

I don't give a rats how Cheika rtes in the looks dept, my comment with in regard to how he presents himself like Larry the Lounge Lizard. He cultivates an unshaven sloppy look and allows himself to be filmed swearing at referees decisions or rolling his eyes.
 
None of that will endear him to anyone and asking for respect when all outward signs are that you don't show any respect yourself is pissing in the wind.
 
It may work in the rag trade but I'd have thought he could tidy his act up for the international stage.
 
If people you work with look like that they only get away with it if brilliant or paying your wages. If not, they are thought of as slobs.
