19 matches for Umaga’s Blues - 1 win
5.3%
I think it’s just a bit of bad luck. T deserves his contract extension
Crusaders in Christchurch next week
Whether you think it's his fault or not there's just absolutely no way you can keep a coach with that record on. They are beyond taking the piss with that extension.

Speaking of Australian, bring back Nucifora, at least they’d be a finals contender

This is the most depressing tracker

Wynne Gray must be reading the fern, got his stick out to stir a bit at the end there too. Drop the Blues!

Ah , what I like to call the schadenfreude thread .
There actually hasn't been a lot of gloating - mostly just us Blues guys wallowing in our own misery.
Twenty odd years back I moved to Auckland, when it was towards the end of its enormous run of victories. Back then far too many Aucklanders were saying that their dominance was good for NZ. I heard many argue that "strong Auckland means strong All Blacks", as if we should all not just lose to them, but enjoy losing.
The ARU gloated about how it's systems ensured that they remained on top. They refused to accept that it was largely due to three very good coaches in a row, and that one wrong move might bring it all down.
I built up a sizeable dislike for Auckland rugby, whereas I had previously grudging admired how good they were. I never ever felt the same way about Canterbury and the Crusader dominance because they never gloated half so much. Sure they tend to over-rate their players who get an armchair ride, but they never acted as if they had a right to win.
As a result, although I largely kept it to myself, I have thoroughly enjoyed the drop in fortunes of Auckland and The Blues. It has given me great joy every time they finished down the table. Especially as the All Blacks have gotten better as they have got worse.
But even I have now had enough. It's no longer fun.

@chester-draws what’s worse is the incredible lack of accountability from the administration that they are big part of the problem.

It's going to be O.K. because I have been informed that next year is our year!

NO THIS IS OUR YEAR
oh. wait. yeah, ok Next Year it is. The mythical year that never comes.
to be fair, an ounce of luck and less injuries early on - or some decent coaching- and we might not go into the Lam Death Spiral that we have been in for ever.

Actually they extended Tana for another year - SO 2020 IS OUR YEAR! Or maybe a year sometime after that. It has already been forever, as mentioned,
