    What a Traitor!

    One of the guys I respected the most. Grizz, Robbie, Don Hayes etc must be hanging their heads in shame.

    He couldn't beat razor with Ta$man, good luck with these losers.

    is that former Wallabie coach Robbie? Or another Robbie. Just asking

    Yup, the man who has said he could never coach against Canterbury and the Crusaders.

    Loyalty right there.

    Patrick McKendry with another love letter to Umaga. Dude, he's not going to fuck you

    He's consistently been the worst of the Umaga sycophants in the media

    Wow! Finally reason (not mark) prevails. It is good of Tana but what choice did he have other than throwing toys etc. I think he'll be much better for a few years with Leon.

    Man, you guys are still fucked at halfback. Dont you go ruining Otere Black!!

    He didn't mention Slackbladder either. Was he a traitor or just kicked out?

    As a Blues supporter it has been a tough ride but:
    Crusaders were the worst NZ losers when the whole franchise thing started
    Highlanders were a joke as were the Chiefs for a long time
    Canes title took a long time to come. Apparently it took a Cantab to fix that (after he left)

    So it was the Blues turn to be shit - for far too long - and this is our year (and the Warriors). So there.

    On the contrary, no team was ever better & more skilled at falling out of mathematical finals contention, then making a massive end of season run to finish fifth. Nobody.

    Has there been any announcements about the Dev/u20's coaches? Last year Coventry was the Dev coach

    Tiatia, Lavea and Witcombe should be the top of the list (Ieremia is taking the Auckland side on tour during Feb)

    Last year Steven Bates was the under 20's forwards coach. That should stop. It's a ridiculous decision to hire a guy whose day job is being a Chiefs cheerleader

    Wasn't a massive fan of MacDonald taking over from Tana the last time but I'll give this a chance...

    But full credit for the Blues making a move. Tana has been an improvement on SJK and Lam but still ultimately was seemed outmatched and outclassed by other NZ franchise coaches. Still ultimately I would like to see a non-ex-AB coach though after now four on the trot.

    That's the bit that made me laugh, 'Steppa. I called it a joke.

    I also don't use emoticons so picture whatever smiley thing that you chose here.

    It makes the 1st round Blues-Crusaders game that much more interesting now.

    The Blues to break their losing streak against NZ teams. 🎣

    On the bright side it's going to be WAYYYY the fuck easier slagging off a Cantab once it all turns to shit than it has been slagging AB legend Tana...

    He's from Blenheim I think, but near enough (cue Chris B Ta$man rant) and keep the faith Bro.It's our year.

    @duluth Whitcombe is on board with NZ U20s, would they allow him to do both, given he could potentially entice some young stars from the NZ U20s to the Blues (and Northland...) if he is a coach people want to work with
