You forgot Cudmore&#39;s team if what you want to is demoralise our Canadians and leave them for dead on the field.</p> <p>These clubs are full time professionals stocked with the very best of internationals including Jamie Cudmore.</p> <p>Is this your idea of a joke?</p> <p>My dear Winger I would not argue with you on the question of the size of the mob screaming from outside the gilded sheep pen. However, it only seems like a &quot;mob&quot; when you remember the size of the faithful pro R.C. diminishes and the size of the gilded (sheep) pen gets smaller.</p> <p>The current R.C. Board lacks visibility, communication skills and finally leadership with a voice.</p> <p>God Bless them all. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1817 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:33:59 +0000 Harry Craig 1817@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>Actually the more I look at this the more it sounds like good planning form RC for once. They are piggy backing the sevens on top of the IRB funded visit and I expect that they can do both at once, since we have a game during the WC scheduled in Wellington. Sort of killing two birds with one stone and someone else is paying. As for why our dues are so high I doubt this trip affects them. I agree they are high. Not sure about Johns but it is good for Crowley to get a chance to see how the guys perform in the big time with a large crowd, something a lot of them won&#39;t be used to. As far as being overkill I wonder how many teams on the IRB circuit have more than one coach. I expect most do. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1815 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:09:18 +0000 Frank 1815@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>If the irb is paying for everything then why do we have such high fees for Rugby Canada. Oh that&#39;s right they messed up on all the insurance policies over the past 5 years. Winger the rb might or might not be paying for their trip to look at facilities but they won&#39;t be paying for them to stay at the Wellington sevens. Canada already has a coach there and having those two there is over kill. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1814 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:41:07 +0000 winger14 1814@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>The article says that the trip is at no cost to Rugby Canada. What else do we need to know, and why does it matter?</p> <p>Sheesh...</p> <p>I&#39;m all for constructively criticising the National body, but that requires a better understanding of the pertinent details.

But never let facts get in the way of beating up on RC. I don&#39;t mind informed criticism and I want accountability as much as anyone. Rugby Canada could do a much better job in the communication of these stories so that people don&#39;t jump all over them. Jump right on when appropriate, but get your facts stairght before you do it. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1807 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:39:32 +0000 Harry Craig 1807@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>rusty_lock <a href="//canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1805&quot;">said</a>:</cite><br /> <img src="http://opensourcejokes.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/sheep_shagger.jpg"></p> <p>Could of saved the money and just reffered them to this site </p></blockquote> <p>And how do you know about this site, Rusty? </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1806 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:15:25 +0000 Faust 1806@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>IMHO I think it necessary to send them to NZ to prep for RWC 2011, but it is 1-1/2 away.<br /> We need more games for Canada.

No offence to Crowley but is it worth paying his salary for the amount of games Canada plays. Haven&#39;t seen any fixtures for the senior men&#39;s team this year. I wonder how many games the senior men&#39;s team will play this year. Ireland has about 10 games scheduled for the senior team already this year. Crowley must get really bored. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1802 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:29:11 +0000 Frank 1802@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>They can not afford to pay the coaches because the Rugby Canada High Performance Program decided to use the money to send Crowley and John on a vacation to NZ. Like Crowley doesn&#39;t already know what the fields and training facilities consist of. Why is Geraint John there with him. Talk about a dog and pony show. Waste of money! </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1801 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:50:50 +0000 Harry Craig 1801@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>I believe that the se positons are all volunteer, can&#39;t confirm that but I think so. I agree that they should be paid but where would the money come from. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/arc-coaches#post-1800 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:36:33 +0000 shack 1800@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>I see on the RC site that the Prarie Wolf Pack are looking to recruit a new coach and manager. I also see from the posting that these positions are volunteer. Is that the the standard for ARC teams or are most of them as paid positions? I&#39;m not looking for the job but I would think that at this level and the time and dedication it would take to properly run a competitive side in what is supposed to be our highest level of domestic rugby they should be looking to something a little higher. </p>
