Argentina coach Michael Cheika has offered some free advice to Rugby \ufeffAustralia while distancing himself from a bold foray into the NRL with the Wests Tigers.<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheika, who led Los Pumas\ufeff to the Rugby World Cup semi-finals in France<\/a>, was responding to reports that the Tigers were headhunting him as their new general manager of football.<\/p>\n

"I know it's been bandied around that they're looking for some solutions in their management role," Cheika told SEN.<\/p>\n

"But if I was to ever go down that road, I think it would be more to test myself as a coach more than anything. I think to try and master that challenge would be awesome."<\/p>\n

The former Wallabies coach has also been linked with a potential return to replace Eddie Jones, with Dan McKellar, Stephen Larkham and Ian Foster other names in the early mix.<\/p>\n

But Cheika plans to let the dust settle on the World Cup before deciding on his next project.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"When I was the coach in Australia, I was very loyal and that's my go," Cheika said.<\/p>\n

"I'm very loyal to what's happening between me and Argentina – that's my first port of call.<\/p>\n

"I'll go down there in a couple of weeks, and we'll have a full debrief of what we did and then start making plans for the next World Cup. And then also decide what I'm going to do moving forward.<\/p>\n

"The original arrangement was that a young fella who I coached at length – Felipe Contepomi – he's the guy who is going to take over at some stage.<\/p>\n

"We'll make a decision together on whether they think it's good for me to stay on in that environment or does he want to go on his own."<\/p>\n

Cheika described the \ufeffthrill of international rugby as "addictive" but was enjoying dabbling in league.<\/p>\n

"I'm still on with the (Lebanon) Cedars and there's a World Cup that will be in Australia, I think, in 2026 before the Rugby World Cup in 2027. I'm looking forward to being involved in both of those \u2013 one way or another."<\/p>\n

Cheika added that Australia needed to rebuild successful Super Rugby teams if the Wallabies \ufeffwere to start winning consistently.<\/p>\n

"I do believe that coaching at Super Rugby level is just as important as who is coaching the Wallabies team," Cheika said.<\/p>\n

"That is where the players are being prepared, that's where it needs so much investment to make sure it's going well…<\/p>\n

"Hopefully, from this they'll (RA) start to get a real understanding of the things that need attention to make the game, not just the Wallabies, get itself back on track. I am sure it will.<\/p>\n

"I know there is a lot of negativity around but it will. Without taking anything for granted, we are getting to a regime of understanding what's required. Have a good plan and good people around and treat those people well, then things can happen.<\/p>\n

"Things can turn around, you have to hold course and have a course to go to. That will be the next step, setting the course going forward."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
