@Higgins said in Foster, Robertson etc:
@mariner4life Ran into him a couple of times in the Wellington Football Club's Isherwood Lounge where he was enjoying the associated activities surrounding rugby with his Axemen mates when he was living in Kilbirnie. Seemed to be a thoroughly decent down to earth bloke.
i met him a few times through rugby, and at his pub (playing against him even at his age then was fucking fun, what a unit) as he was mates of mates. Seemed a good rooster
shit. i just googled his age. He seemed old when i played him. turns out he was the same age i was in my last year of prems. I don't feel so bad about the towelling (and verbals) i copped.

You're a thoroughly cruel man.

I don't care who, as long as foster and the continuity clowns are gone

@Machpants I wonder if Eddie Jone's appointment may have speed this along. Whoever takes over next year is going to have to oversee a major rebuild as there are so many players leaving. Razor sounds like he is in the boxseat. Wonder who is in contention for the assistants roles.

I just want the coach announcement to be made, so we can start complaining about something else...
Yeah, and I'm sick of the media speculation as well. Anything for a click!

And maybe you'll be waiting longer...
'Not imminent': NZR say no update on ABs coach process
Robertson has hinted at an update on the All Blacks coaching process in the coming days.

There's a lot of silly speculation in the media but I have no problem with van Royen's reporting today. The direct quotes from Robertson were news worthy
The question is whether Robertson is playing political games and attempting to put pressure on NZR by making those comments, or if he stupidly blurted out something he wasn't supposed to

I read somewhere that Robertson is keen to have Holland included as one of his assistants, so if he gets the role that is great news for Hurricanes fans.

Seems to talk to journalists too much.

This comment is interesting to me:
“I’ve had options, but I’ve always said, my preference is to be here in New Zealand and coach my country, but I’ve also been really patient. I think where we are now, we’re going to deal with rather than what has happened....the next two weeks is big.Has he been that patient? He's been basically telling them to appoint him or he'll leave. I don't mind him doing so either, but I'm not sure that makes him patient, given he is under contract here.

@KiwiMurph agreed even more so considering foster has survived a contract extension and a review from memory
-
It has been an abysmal 4 years not only in results but in terms of innovation, direction, tactics, etc. Same results but a sense of building, a new approach, etc, would have been far more acceptable. I feel 4 years have been frustratingly wasted.

Then you can replace him with the other Jason - former Manawatu head coach, probably their best ever, now coaching Suntory with remarkable success.

he doesn't seem to care about making friends, thought i saw NZR say nothing anytime soon....then razor says this

@kiwi_expat O'Halloran...always very insightful when he speaks
