@taniwharugby hard luck to Josh Goodhue who would have been my pick. Sam Caird close 2nd.
-
@kev yeah Goodhue was my pick, Caird woulda been 2nd.
I think I'd have to go with Pisi in the backs, other backs who played well (Ranger, Macilai) more met expectations rather than improved) but odd Craig would have most improved forward, he played a handful of minutes?
For me it'd be Faukafa or CTWC .

@taniwharugby haha that sounds like a sob piece.
Barely takes any blame.
Why were players not fit. why were the young guys not aware of what it takes. All on the top staff.

@muddyriver as for the covid excuse, yeah I'm sure it wasnt easy, but look at the other team that was in almost the identical boat as Northland...I see Tui has left, have heard rumours about who they asked to replace him, so we will see...
And what are the past glories? Winning the 2nd Div or the Shield in the 70s?

@taniwharugby That would have been after beating Otago in the Championship final in 2018. You have Stratton, Sweeney and Manihera at the front.

All the article says is that I didn’t do my job. It’s like the season is a surprise and we just show up and do a few laps round the field to work out where everyone is at. Who sets the expectations and monitors progress prior to the season starting? The Coach. He should have been all over that.
