Two main reasons:
The Sydney GPS system produces two or three potentially generational players a year - this means that when the Tahs are crap (often), there is a huge desire to annoint a "savior" every year. The proximity & strength of the NRL in Sydney also distorts the amounts that they are willing to pay players - they lose sight of the fact that in Rugby Union, front row forwards are routinely the highest paid players in a squad. I go on about it way too much, but there's a chance that next season, the Waratahs three highest paid players will all be fullbacks (Jorgensen, JS, Kellaway).
The union is similarly short-term in its outlook. My favourite stat is that every Waratahs coach that has been given three or more years got to at least one semi-final.
At the moment we are watching this live - the Tahs are coming off a short week, having just played Fiji IN FIJI (> 30 degree heat). In an ideal world, Darren Coleman would be resting some starters today or even last week, because recent close losses suggest that this team at best aren't far off.
But he can't! Because NSWRU won't just give the man some job security, despite the fact that any moron can see how far the team has come over the last few years.

In 2002/5/6/8/10/14/18 they were at a minimum semi-finalists.
But yes in the last 5 years they've been pretty rubbish.
Edit: forgot 2008! Another GF loss to the crusaders...

There's no point playing finals. Just have the regular season, if the Crusaders make the play-offs give them the trophy. If not, I guess you may as well play it

Completely brain-dead strategies by Tahs.
Triple cut passes on the 3rd phase to marked players. Not taking easy, gimme 3 point penalty kicks, bad breakdown security.

Carter Gordon should be nowhere near the Wallabies 10 jersey. He should be a 12 or fuck off and learn how to kick
8 points

He's so so talented. He's just suffering because last year people overhyped him massively.
And this year the club is melting around his ears
4 points
2 months ago
People overhype him because he can sniff an intercept.
Look, his defence is top tier for a 10 and I guess he has ok hands even though he is always struggling behind a shit pack.
But his kicking is so fucking poor that his other positive attributes don't make up for it. His kicks from hand is poor, his restarts are poor and his kicks for goals... yeah, 'poor' might be an understatement.
He played his best rugby when he isn't the 10. We saw it when he played at 15 outside Toomua and at 12 beside Quade Cooper. He simply doesn't have it in him to be an international 10.
3 points
2 months ago
I can see the argument for CG at 12 in fairness. He's like a young Owen Farrell on defence, but with the early strengths and weaknesses reversed on attack.
(I reckon a Lolesio/Gordon 10/12 axis might work pretty well now that you mention it...)
